Safari Charlie Gun Lube?

Talked to the owner of the company today over the phone. Seems like a good product but haven't heard of anyone using it. Has anyone here used it? I'm considering buying some, but want to hear what others have to say before buying into some possible snakeoil.

There is something about lubrication that seems spark hot debates on message boards. Be it engine oil in cars and motorcycles(lawn mowers for that matter) or gun oil and lubes. Truth be told most any good oil will work in most applications. There is seldom a breakthrough in lubrication technology. I use ATF on all my firearms and other cheapskates like me use synthetic motor oil. I've used CLP/Breakfree in the Marine Corps, Tetra gun grease, and a few other wonder lubes out there and just have not seen any discernible difference in any of them. Some could prove better in extreme environments such as arctic cold or desert heat, none of we will likely to experience in the south east. Wipe your gun down from time to time put a light coat of your favorite oil, be it cheap or expensive(doesn't seem to matter) and shoot the finish off.

I used to be the same way, then Frog Lube came along. :up:

Ever use fish oil, that stuff stinks, but its slick. You ever tried to hold or catch a fish with your hands, mighty slick. Seriously, I still use what my dad used, 3 in 1 oil, it's cheap, small and has a smell of its own.
