Being "slick" is great until you add in the embrittlement variable, and some other issues.
I have been curious about this product and some others.

Thanks, I'll take a deeper look into some of this. I'm not a CE by degree, but I've been around long enough in this to question some items.

With the exception of the bolt, my colt 6920 wast the DRIEST rifle I have ever purchased new.

I’m feeling a bit slighted based on the others responses. ☹️

FYI, If you guys are considering buying "G96" from Amazon, just remember "Gift Wrapping" is available for $3.99. With Christmas coming up, show that special someone that you care. Even if you're just gifting it to yourself!

I was thinking stocking stuffer.

I just picked up some G96 from wally world. I prefer to keep an aerosol in my range bag to spritz the bore of my carbines when leaving the range on a wet or cold day (condensation). Its smells so nice it can't be good for you.
