Duration: 8:06

This video details an extreme persistence test of Froglube lubricant on a custom AR-15. The firearm endured over 300 rapid-fire rounds, followed by submersion in a muddy stream, demonstrating Froglube's ability to maintain lubrication and displace carbon under harsh conditions. The test was conducted by Vigilant Spectre, showcasing high technical proficiency in firearms and lubricants.

Quick Summary

Froglube, a non-petroleum CLP, was tested for persistence on an AR-15 during a 300+ round rapid-fire sequence and water submersion. The lubricant remained fluid and effective, displacing carbon and ensuring smooth operation, showcasing its suitability for extreme conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Froglube and how does it differ from traditional lubricants?

Froglube is a non-petroleum based Cleaner, Lubricant, and Preservative (CLP). Unlike petroleum-based lubricants that can absorb carbon, Froglube claims to displace carbon, potentially enhancing firearm reliability during intense firing cycles.

How did Froglube perform in the AR-15 torture test?

Froglube demonstrated significant persistence during a 300+ round rapid-fire test on an AR-15, even after the firearm was submerged in a muddy stream. The lubricant remained fluid and effective, allowing the rifle to function smoothly.

What were the key components of the AR-15 used in the Froglube test?

The custom AR-15 featured a Bushmaster lower receiver, a Model 1 Sales XM177 style upper receiver, a Troy MRF-C rail system, and a BCM Mil-spec bolt carrier group, all lubricated with Froglube.

What kind of ammunition was used in the Froglube persistence test?

The test utilized Silver Bear 62 grain Soft Nose ammunition, which was specifically noted as being 'dirty' ammunition. This choice aimed to further challenge the lubricant's ability to manage carbon fouling.
