I tried the frog lube treatment and it didn't seem to make much difference but the silicone treatment works quite well for aluminum. Not perfect, but must of the crud wiped right off. I suspect you would need to clean and retreat after 4-500 rounds or so but don't know for sure since I've only done it once.
Heat the parts in the oven at 250 for 30 minutes then soak in DOT 5 brake fluid over night. Wipe down and then reassemble. I use never seize on the threads. You could use silicone oil if you wanted and if you can find it. Brake fluid must be DOT 5 since that's the one with silicone. I found it at Kenechts. Guys at Auto Zone had never heard of it.
