Just updating my original post. My Benelli M4 finally came in a couple of weeks ago. I brought it home in pieces, unassembled in it's box. Curiosity got the best of me and I went ahead and assembled it to familiarize myself with the procedure. It's a breeze to both put together and take apart, and what is great, is that you don't even need tools. Anyway, I stripped it down again, gave it a thorough cleaning, and put on two coats of Frog Lube. The action in the Benelli is as slick as can be. When I finally had a chance to shoot it for the first time, I started off with about 25 rounds of high brass and followed immediately with the cheaper Federal loads from Walmart. It handled everything with no problem, even the cheap stuff. I can't say with any certainty that the Frog Lube is responsible for that, but it the action in the M4 seems to operate so smoothly and effortlessly that I plan on the continued use of Frog Lube. Like I said, it handled even the cheap stuff after almost no break in time. The S&W M&P 22 handgun, also operated perfectly on it's first outing after a thorough cleaning followed by two coats of Frog Lube. I noticed too that both guns cleaned up a lot easier than I've seen in the past. I'm sold on the stuff. So much so that I'm switching all of my guns to Frog Lube exclusively.

After wanting a new shotgun for a long time, I finally picked up a new M4 Benelli a couple of days ago. I brought it home and completely disassembled it, cleaned it, and gave it two coats of Frog Lube. Finally today I got to shoot it for the first time. What an awesome shot gun! I started off using just some Winchester Super X high brass shells, and then eventually worked my way to using some less expensive Federal low brass shells from Walmart's stock. The Benelli handled it all without a hiccup. I see now why this shot gun has such a following. The only problem is that now I'm getting this uncontrollable urge to start with the modifications. As much as I hate the idea of using a heat gun on an expensive shot gun, I've already ordered the extended magazine tube from Carrier Comp. Now I begin the long wait for that to come in. And that naturally means that there will also have to be some other additions to keep Uncle Sam with his ridiculous 922r law satisfied. I'm also contemplating a new stock, whether it be a collapsible stock, or something else. The M4 is such a fantastic shot gun right out of the box, but boy, it sure is hard not tweaking it here and there to make it even better. Like I said, it sure is addicting.

Thanks for the input, I've used that too in the past. One of the main advantages, I'm told, of using Frog Lube is that it coats the metal and makes cleanup much easier. It supposedly helps contaminants and lead fouling from sticking and not only helps cleaning, it makes the firearms more reliable because it lubricates so well and helps prevent jam ups. Of course any company that is trying to sell their product will tell you that, and that's why I thought it might be helpful if someone who has actually used the product give us their opinion of it. I know that my local gun shop said that Frog Lube is the only product that they use on their guns in their shop.

I'm just curious, has anyone out there used Frog Lube on their Benelli? I have always used the traditional gun cleaners like Hoppes and similar, but recently after hearing so much about Frog Lube, I decided to try it. I recently purchased a S&W M&P 22 for plinking and decided to treat it with Frog Lube before I even fired it. After cleaning out all of the original grease and oil from assembly, I treated it with Frog Lube twice. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet, but already the action feels amazingly smooth, even better than it did when I first brought it home. I'm really anxious to take it to the range. I've heard so many amazing endorsements concerning this product, that I'm really considering using it on the new Benelli M4 that I have on order when it comes in. I'm usually not one to switch from what I've been using for years, but so far I'm really optimistic about Frog Lube. But I realize that a Benelli M4 is a much more expensive firearm than a 22 pistol, so I don't want to take any chances with it's maintenance. So if anyone out there has used Frog Lube products on their Benelli, let us know what you think of it. If you haven't heard of Frog Lube, check it out here http://froglube.com/roothome.htm
