On the AR bolt and bolt carrier groups I just watched a very detailed video on them and relative to lubricity apparently they are not all equal. Some are made with materials, designs, and surface coatings that reduce friction. So perhaps what one person uses on their bolt carrier group might not be good for someone elses gun? Not a statement, but more of a question. Likely some guns might do better with one type then would other guns in general. I guess what we all want is a lubricant that works across the board in all applications. Not sure if that is possible.I left this thread open in case you fellars wanted to continue the "best lube" discussion.
My go to is CLP break free and CLP cleaner, although I do like using Frog lube as it has worked well for me. I have about 2k rounds, without cleaning, on my primary AR bcg and it runs fine with a couple drops of CLP. But I don't clean my stuff nearly as much as I used to...or probably need to.

I have been using Froglube on my guns for a few years now. Never had any issues out of it so I keep using it. I have read the stories about it gumming up.. but every time I see stories like that I see they used WAY to much and didnt remove excess.
I'm a believer in FrogLube... but man it's a PITA doing the first application.
