I've always used Bore Butter for a lube on my C&B revolvers with good results. I recently cleaned and lubed my 51 Navy and 60 Army with Froglube. I tried them out today and IMHO Froglube is not a very good arbor lube. It was tough getting the barrel off of both revolvers and the cylinders had to be coaxed off by prying between the recoil shield and the cylinder with a screw driver.

This was after 60 rounds of 25 gr Pyrodex P through the 51 and 24 rounds of 30 gr Pyrodex P through the 60.

I'm going back to Bore Butter.
