G-96 + BF CLP=Glue.
If you are using G-96, since it is plasticizer based (and an outstanding extreme cold weather lube), do not use anything else with it.

I use LaRue’s Machinegun lube on all of my firearms and can’t say enough good things about it. Simply awesome!
Never used the G96 personally…was just commenting on the smell of the BCM uppers and what I somewhat remember reading on which lube BCM used in the shop.
I primarily only use Weapon Shield or Mil-comm products.
Thanks for the warning though,I’ll make a note on that.
While working for TACOM supporting troops at Corp/Div/Bgd levels in SWA, in Germany & at Ft Hood, TX, us LAR’s suggested TW25B. It works on all small arms and crew served weapons used by the Army. Trust me, it works.
As for me I have tried them all. I have found Militec-1 to me the best as of yet. Slip 2000 EWL is a close second, however I noticed that when setting for a long time on my weapons the excess lube formed a sluge. The sludge was hard to remove and Im not sure if I got a bad batch of slip 2000 or if this is common when over lubed.
For two years now, it’s been Castrol Syntech 20w50, especially in
the hotter weather. Come next winter, be back to the same stuff
in 5w20. No issues yet, and slick as all get out! ![]()
Well as one of the older fella’s here…lol,i’ve tried a lot of diffrent things,like hilco lube,hoppe’s,OUTERS,MCM.Breakfree was in my book as the best,i used it in the marine’s on my M16A1 and loved it.Even firing blanks on auto and no jams.Now that being said i will try froglube and see.
EWL. Seems to work well when used generously.
For storage, Arexons Svitol Marine lube. This is an industrial grade high pressure synthetic lube that stands up very well to salt air. I get this in Italy.
TW25B, or Slip EWL 30 grease.
Breakfree CLP and a dab or two of Lubriplate 130-A on the AR’s
Aeroshell Fluid 18 on the AK’s
anyone here tried frog lube?
I was curious about this too , i just bought a similar bio product from PSA and am waiting for it to come in http://palmettostatearmory.com/679.php
I haven’t but it sounds similar to the above referenced Lubriplate.
I’m gonna give some a go.
I’ve searched and found corrosion tests that show Corrosion X, Eezox and Breakfree do pretty good. I haven’t found any comparison test results for the lubrication and durability aspects of different lubricants however. Is one out there and I just missed it?
Is there anywhere else to buy this stuff from?
I was going to order just a 1 Oz. bottle, but the shipping cost more than the bottle.
Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5w-30. In the hotter parts of summer I use high-temp grease. I clean with Breakfree CLP and Breakfree Powder Blast.
I had frog lube on my AR at the last shoot and went 400 rounds with no fails and no re-lubing. Previously, my lightly oil lubed AR’s required more oil at around 300 rounds.
I have it on my duty Glocks and Benelli M4 for a couple months now with decent firing schedules and no issues.
And they smell minty fresh!

Would there be a problem with putting hi-temp wheel bearing grease on the carrier rails? (light film)
Only if you’re expecting really cold weather. Otherwise, grease her up.
Lately, I’ve been using synthetic motor oil thickened with some blue bottle STP.
Check out froglube on you tube,there’s some test on there and on froglube website.
