I love Frog Lube. I had a rusted barrel on a 760 pellet gun. I wire brushed all the old bluing off the barrel then used some metal polish to polish it to a bare shiny bare metal. Looked almost like a chrome plated metal. I then heated the barrel and applied Frog Lube to the hot metal, then wiped it clean. This gun has been stored in an unheated garage in Kansas, and now, at least six years later, the metal is still as shiny and free of any rust as the day i treated it with the frog lube. I now treat all my guns with a hot Frog Lube treatment!
Another winner bro... thanks! I feel good about froglube now... trying to use on that on all my firearms. I have thought about trying m7... looks good too. Take it easy man and lets all continue the fight!
the way froglube simplifies my cleaning is great. if u do the heat application properly ur gun will sweat the stuff and stay lubed. it lubes well and keeps my gun slick and not dripping lube anywhere. i always hated having to dump break free all over my squads rifles in the corps i really think its one of the better options out there
The Rem Oil portion of the plate looked as though it was subject to harsher elements. Maybe water was dripping onto that side more or something. It's clearly in worse shape than the rest of the plate
I use M-Pro 7 LPX Oil on my Sig 1911r 45cal. sss, and 40 Smith & Wesson and it's the best oil I've ever used . I'm now going to start using this product on my other guns. Great stuff
My Grand-dad was 3nd generation of hand making his hunting rifles/shotguns. I can't recall him having cans of gun cleaning oils in his shop. I did see many cans of motor oil, like Penzoil, Quaker etc. but then again, they had several motors they had to use it for: tractor, cherry picker, Jeep, 2 cars, and fishing boat. And I know he also maintained the motors for lathe, and tools in the shop for working/repairing all engines and motors on the farm. So in the early-mid 1800's-1900's what did soldiers, hunters ...use to clean and preserve their guns? By most accounts, sperm oil (from the head cavity of a sperm whale) was the best gun lubricant, if and when available. Second choice was other whale oil, although an 1878 U.S. Army manual warned that whale oil could become “gummy and hard on exposure to the air.” Neat’s-foot oil (boiled from the shinbones and feet of cattle) was also recommended, for oiling both guns and gun leather. An 1862 Pennsylvania scientific journal noted that “armor oil [mineral oil]…is intended especially for gun-locks.” Even a temporary dab of olive oil, castor oil, lard, tallow, other animal fat or wagon wheel grease was better than no lubricant at all. I can't say definitively that he never ever bought commercial gun cleaners/oils but I don't think they were during my great and great, great Grand-dads eras. And I used linseed oil/mineral oil (sometimes) to finish off the rifle stocks he made for his rifles/pistol grips. The linseed oil was for wood not metal gun parts, so I think they used motor oil later on in the 1900's.
I've never tried their product, but the Lucas did great. Especially considering it was handicapped because its square on the plate was the only sample placed on the outside edge of the plate on TWO sides instead of just one like all the other samples. Knowing how rust migrates, that's a pretty big deal. I Might have to give that oil a try. I thought they just made automotive products, and I've never seen it at my local gun store or range. Thanks for the test!
the test clearly shows that froglube and m- pro 7 did protected better, I have been using m- pro 7 for years and after watching this video I will continue to use it and recommended to my friends.
"rem-oil performed as expected. it's not expessive". Yes, rem-oil has never been the best at corrosion resistance. However, one does not need to pay premium for good corrosion protection. Breakfree actually outperforms froglube in corrosion protection. Also, the un-coated area around the rem-oil square is considerably more corroded than the un-coated areas around the other products. So other factors may have been at play
just signed into say thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the different kind of lubes great test and i also stand with you on protecting our second amendments right god bless you
The verdict I got from your vid: Don't lube your firearms and leave them out in the harsh elements for two months. "... our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Another great video, thank you for spending the money to purchase these products and taking the time and to test them. Great idea that is much appreciated.
Chiming in from Australia. I'll be brief: Manual rimfires, break action shotguns, bolt action centerfires are pretty much what most people can get access to recreationally. People who require them for work (farmers etc) can get semi auto rimfires and pump shotguns with a capacity of less than 5. Semi auto centerfires are extremely hard to obtain. Pistols can be obtained, but must be fired at designated ranges
My favorite is ball bearing vaseline that stands up to high temperatures, and where you put it there it stays. It does not run off, didn gets washed off - just because of its thickness.
Excellent video. Thanks for all of your hard work! Truth be told, most gun oils are great. I prefer Frog Lube, personally. Especially when you heat up the metal prior to application. Amazing results.
here is a trick for ya, next time you do a test like this with steel, buy you a can of metal prep, you can get it at any place that sell automotive paint , Clean the steel before you put anything on it , this will kill your rust before you put the test fluids on. This will give you better results....I have done auto painting before and if you start with bare metal this is a must , if not you will be fighting rust , under the paint ,
Fred, thanks for sharing the Ruger info. Letter sent. But mine will fall on deaf's ear since I live in CA. Hope you recover soon and do some shooting videos. I always enjoy them. Man, I can't believe (well, actually i can) you have 11K+ subs now. When I first subbed you, you were at 5K. Take care.
Really good information. I'm going to continue using RemOil on my Glocks. It's inexpensive and readily available. It's done an excellent job in my experience. Glocks are made to resist rust anyways. And the wettest my Glock(s) ever get(s) is some ass sweat while I'm at the gym.
Used Frog lube, MPro7, Lucas and remoil. Love Frog lube and mpro7!, the paste and grease respectively in particular. The Lucas is a great lube and fairly in expensive, but I have had my Sks rust a little using it. As for the rem oil I think is complete junk and wouldn't let my enemy use the crap. That shot should be pulled off the shelf.
Weighing in from Australia. The gun laws here are super tough, I'd elaborate further, but I'd be here for the better part of a decade. Here's a brief perspective; we cannot own anything semi-automatic in relation to a long arm unless you are a primary producer (farmer) but then you are limited to Category C firearms (RImfire/Shotgun), Category D firearms (semi-auto centrefire long-arms) are highly restricted to professionally licensed hunters (this license requires actual business tenders prior to consideration). Fortunately, however strictly limited to a club environment, we can possess a Category H firearm (handguns) in calibers up to .45 (discipline based). It goes a whole lot deeper than this. Even to a level of conspiracy of governmental agenda back in 1996 when the "Port Arthur Massacre" happened. Evidence was full of holes, and there wasn't ever a Coronial Inquest into the event to prove/disprove evidence that the alleged gunman killed all those people with no prior training (precision headshots from a great distance) Look into it, its rather interesting. The fact that the Prime Minister at the time forced, somewhat instantaneously, the implementation of the 2-decade--standing National Firearms Agreement which consequently robbed every single Australian Citizen of their ability to purchase and hold the aforementioned classes of firearms. Our laws are ludicrous and were instated in a rapid knee-jerk response to a sketchily staged massacre by a politician with a predisposed anti-firearm agenda. Please respond if you want to hear more.
Australians need to clean house of these gun grabbers. You have to fight for your gun rights. Your politicians work for you and need not hinder honest citizens ability to protect themselves from evil people.
I'm confused, I saw the initial plate test and it had ballistol… these don't show ballistol. That's what I wanted to compare was how ballistol and frog lube compare.
Quality video, as always. I have just gotten FrogLube after much debate and am excited to try it. I'm a current Ballistiol user and a little nervous about switching. lol
it looked like the rem oil did as good as the other 2 and for the money not bad,but overall I think hoppes 9 and outers gun oil would've had good results as well if they were used in this test
Hi thanks for these great videos. I've watched all your videos on comparing gun cleaning and lubricating/protecting products and I gotta ask. What's the final verdict? For the cleaner it's easy, Hoppe's 9 did a great job, but what about greases and Oils? I'm new gun owner and want to protect my guns as best as possible. I also don't shoot as often as I like maybe a few times a year so need something to protect my guns when they're stored. Currently I own an Arsenal AK-47 and Browning BPS 12g shotgun. Have only put around 500 rounds through the AK and only about 20rounds through the shotgun. My AK is now a few years old and I've been using Birchwood Gun Scrubber on it and Birchwood synthetic gun oil and they seem to do an OK job. I am running out of the gun scrubber so I'll be buying a bottle of Hoppe's 9 very soon, I still have a lot of Oil left but have been hearing about greases especially on AK's rails. I'm also in the process of buying a cheaper AK i.e. WASR-10 and putting a slide fire stock on it and use that gun strictly for "full Auto" fun and realize that I need some excellent protection for that gun and grease seems like it would do a better job than oil at least for high heat situations i.e. bump firing. So I guess what are your top 2 or 3 Oils and greases that you would recommend based on all your testing, keeping in mind that my guns will be sitting in a gun safe for months at a time between shootings. Thanks again for the great work/channel.
Love the Plate-o-Truth. Next time you do a p.o.t. video set a dry Glock barrel outside with it. See what gets rustier, steel with oil on it or a dry Tennifer treated barrel. :)
Thanks for the update sir. Just started using Froglube a few weeks back after using Gunzilla for the last 2-3 years. Also trying FIREClean on my semi-auto rifles to see how it works out. Keep up the great videos and our good fight for the second amendment rights. And last but not least, get better and feel better soon! :o)
I've have seen and read many reports and videos that the frog lube doesn't do very good on semi auto rifles=bolt carriers and semi auto shotguns causing the bolts not to cycle correctly especially on semi auto shotguns that its too thick and gravy like to use on moving parts? some heavy oils with a lot of tactifiers do not do well on moving parts and is even worse in cold weather
I also wonder like some, why you did not test the tried and true oils like Hoppes? Sheath, AKA Barricade is another one. In my long 53 years, Rem Oil is the worst stuff you can buy so I truly expected it to finish last in your test. Someone else did a test on cleaners, new and old, and over all Hoppes came out on top. This test was done in a lab. So I am curious how Hoppes oil would do in your test. Sometimes newer is not better but could be as good.
I messaged you but since you haven't been well i'll say it here...I did the ruger letter.I got 1 written response and 3 email responses from local officials so far..So people do go to rugers website and do the letter .They do see them ..Get well Fred take it easy
If you didn't wipe the samples dry, after applying them (as you would leave a firearm, leaving the protective film), then that's not the best test, Friend Fred. For one thing, Gunzilla, if the "excess" isn't wiped off, it Will leave a "caramel" coloration with age...but won't as a thin film.
Excellent review. One thing missing though, HOPPES 9 lube oil! do you have any info or thoughts on that stuff? Keep up the good work and support for the 2nd. Thanks.
I know this is off topic,but can you do a test with pro long oil additive ,it's a oil additive but I use it on my guns with great results...thanks and much appreciated if you can do this,thanks buddy.
Hm, where do i live the terms are colloquial. In US, its proper name is probably synthetic grease, or bearing grease, make sure its the high temperature type, but not the graphite grease.
If ur worried about your BBQ grill rusting use m pro 7 or frog lube I don't let my guns sit outside in the sun and rain for 2 months if I did I'd go with the m pro 7.
Seems as if you get results opposite of a lot of people who test FL in a similar way, which there is nothing wrong with diversity. I've noticed running FL on my AR over the last few months, carbon seems to accumulate in an easy to wipe off grease. I'd like to point out that on Tier 1 ARs, most of your steel parts are chromed so rust protection is fairly well covered to begin with. Do like that FL doesn't wash off like some petrol products do…but I haven't gotten a lot of testing of that in yet
But Fred, there would be nothing to wipe off, if you left only the dry film all those product (except rem oil) manufacturers recommend for use on firearms, friend. I'm sure you've read the instructions on the bottles. That would be the proper test of there metal protections, friend.
Hope you feel better soon. We need you among us to fight the good fight! You are so right about fighting like there is no tomorrow for our gun rights. We need to turn that anti gun train around and send it right back at them!
Test doesn't look fair since you can see that the plate didn't corrode evenly across the whole face. Shouldn't the non-treated areas of the plate all look the same for this test to be fair?
I agree its fair enough. On your gun there are spots that rust happens easier. So the control being the untreated section. Speaks to how different areas of metal rust. If you notice in the test areas this doesn't change the result. Because any of that rust could have been in any test area.
I love Frog Lube. I had a rusted barrel on a 760 pellet gun. I wire brushed all the old bluing off the barrel then used some metal polish to polish it to a bare shiny bare metal.

Thanks for the great test and your service. You have likely extended the life of guns and the constitution.
Keep up the good fight!
Thanks for all you do. Hopefully your recovery is going well. Thumbs up on supporting our most important amendment.
Go M-Pro 7!!! Happy to see it did well on the plate of truth.. ^_^
Thanks for the test Fredhart ^_^
The Rem Oil portion of the plate looked as though it was subject to harsher elements. Maybe water was dripping onto that side more or something. It's clearly in worse shape than the rest of the plate
Rem Oil has never been good. Its the cheapest gun oil for a reason.
Lonewolf6565 yep can confirm I’ve used it and kinda suck balastol only for now on
I use M-Pro 7 LPX Oil on my Sig 1911r 45cal. sss, and 40 Smith & Wesson and it's the best oil I've ever used . I'm now going to start using this product on my other guns. Great stuff
Thank you for all the testing that you do for us. Feel better.

this has to be one of the best tests i've seen. thanks for doing it!
great test if you leave your guns in the rain and all you want from an oil is to stop your guns that you store in your yard from rusting
I've never tried their product, but the Lucas did great. Especially considering it was handicapped because its square on the plate was the only sample placed on the outside edge of the plate on TWO sides instead of just one like all the other samples.

Thanks for the update on the Plate of Truth. Well done !
Love your vids! Especially plate of truth and when you did the heat test
Got one already , thanks for your honesty. Thumbs up.
theseekerndestroyer Thank you very much.
Nice work. Very simple and practical test.
Love the P'O'T' vids. Hope you recover soon. Going thru some shit myself.
Great video Fred. Thanks for all your hard work. I'm very glad your doing better. Looking forward to your insight and experiments in the future.
I'm confused, I saw the initial plate test and it had ballistol… these don't show ballistol. That's what I wanted to compare was how ballistol and frog lube compare.
wish you a fast recovery!
Hope you get to feeling better soon Fred.
Love your vids sorry to hear you been in the ER.
Fine display. Great info.
Getting some Frog Lube.
Quality video, as always. I have just gotten FrogLube after much debate and am excited to try it. I'm a current Ballistiol user and a little nervous about switching. lol
Great test, would liked to have seen plain motor oil in the test also but I do understand their are practical limits to how much you can test.
Looks like the rem oil got hit the hardest considering the surrounding, untreated, metal. Very interesting though, thanks Fred!
Froglube is a lot of work
Putting on with a dryer then taking off before going to the range.
Hoppe's gun grease is better
it looked like the rem oil did as good as the other 2 and for the money not bad,but overall I think hoppes 9 and outers gun oil would've had good results as well if they were used in this test
Thank you for your research, take care!
Love it. Thanks man. Have you ever done a two month test of mobil 1 and other products vs. the best preserving gun products?
Hi thanks for these great videos. I've watched all your videos on comparing gun cleaning and lubricating/protecting products and I gotta ask. What's the final verdict? For the cleaner it's easy, Hoppe's 9 did a great job, but what about greases and Oils?

Glad your back!!
Great video thanks for all your hard work!
I thought Mpro 7 was just a gun cleaner and not a CLP? Why am I so confused?
Love your videos Fred! Great reviews.
love these comparison vids Fred
I've have seen and read many reports and videos that the frog lube doesn't do very good on semi auto rifles=bolt carriers and semi auto shotguns causing the bolts not to cycle correctly especially on semi auto shotguns that its too thick and gravy like to use on moving parts? some heavy oils with a lot of tactifiers do not do well on moving parts and is even worse in cold weather
I also wonder like some, why you did not test the tried and true oils like Hoppes? Sheath, AKA Barricade is another one.

That's it, I'm going to my local Gunshop to pickup my froglub.
Great video. Thumbs up. Assuming froglub did not pay you.
theseekerndestroyer Nope, I do not except money for reviews, just my honest opinion.
Great video.
Any experience with Milspec TW-25B? Sweating outside in Texas is hard on firearms and Milspec has done a wonderful job.
fred try the plate of truth with copper and lead on it i wanna know which is the best copper remover and does it harm the barrel
Get well keep well sir.
From Johnny/UK grate vid.
I messaged you but since you haven't been well i'll say it here...I did the ruger letter.I got 1 written response and 3 email responses from local officials so far..So people do go to rugers website and do the letter .They do see them ..Get well Fred take it easy
If you didn't wipe the samples dry, after applying them (as you would leave a firearm, leaving the protective film), then that's not the best test, Friend Fred.
For one thing, Gunzilla, if the "excess" isn't wiped off, it Will leave a "caramel" coloration with age...but won't as a thin film.
Just wondering, do fully clean the lubricants off between test? Otherwise it seems that you might cross contaminate the samples.
How about a plate of trout with butter as lube.....just a thought as its dinner time right now for me....LOL
Thanks for your time
Roger
Excellent review. One thing missing though, HOPPES 9 lube oil! do you have any info or thoughts on that stuff? Keep up the good work and support for the 2nd. Thanks.
I'd love to see Froglube vs Mobile 1 Synth in a Plate o' Truth battle royal. Whatchathink?
Great video Fred!
I know this is off topic,but can you do a test with pro long oil additive ,it's a oil additive but I use it on my guns with great results...thanks and much appreciated if you can do this,thanks buddy.
Thank you for this test.
Please try some Eezox. Everyone I've shared it with has never turned back.
God bless.
Hm, where do i live the terms are colloquial. In US, its proper name is probably synthetic grease, or bearing grease, make sure its the high temperature type, but not the graphite grease.
I've been checking every day for this update. Yes, I have very to no life.
If ur worried about your BBQ grill rusting use m pro 7 or frog lube I don't let my guns sit outside in the sun and rain for 2 months if I did I'd go with the m pro 7.

Do like that FL doesn't wash off like some petrol products do…but I haven't gotten a lot of testing of that in yet
Froglube looks like it did a superb job. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere in Europe that sells it. :(
Amazon sells it.
Froglube Europe HQ is in Nederland you can buy online...
But Fred, there would be nothing to wipe off, if you left only the dry film all those product (except rem oil) manufacturers recommend for use on firearms, friend. I'm sure you've read the instructions on the bottles.
That would be the proper test of there metal protections, friend.
fantastic test! very enjoyable.
That’s right.... 2020 stilllooking for the best oil!
This is more a test of these products as a preservative. Froglube worked better because it has a thicker viscosity
So where did the results disappear from your first test
Thanks for the video. I know it was not scientific, but the information was very good.
Nice video! what camera are you using? it looks pretty good when you zoom
Good Video Chief.
Hope you feel better soon. We need you among us to fight the good fight! You are so right about fighting like there is no tomorrow for our gun rights. We need to turn that anti gun train around and send it right back at them!
I just clean with Hoppe's #9, then apply BreakFree CLP, then put a little Tetra Gun Grease on the rails.
Ha, this is exactly what I've been doing. Seems to work well, but I've only been doing it for a year.
I hope you recover fully soon! Thank you for the videos and work to support the Second Amendment!
Well done. Thanks for the info!
Test doesn't look fair since you can see that the plate didn't corrode evenly across the whole face. Shouldn't the non-treated areas of the plate all look the same for this test to be fair?
Zach Ridgway I spend a lot of time and money to make this as fair as I possible can. I encourage others to do the same so results can be compared.
I agree its fair enough. On your gun there are spots that rust happens easier. So the control being the untreated section. Speaks to how different areas of metal rust. If you notice in the test areas this doesn't change the result. Because any of that rust could have been in any test area.
Thanks for posting.
Ever use lubriplate 130 a? Would like to see a test with it and other greases
I use car wax or nu finish on the external metal on my firearms maybe try it on your test.
Good job Chief
