This was over the course of last summer, 2013. Liquid was reapplied periodically and they were cleaned a few times in between. Sometime in late Summer or early Fall, the guns got put away for a few weeks and I didn't shoot them. (probably around the beginning of hunting season). The next time I went shooting, one of the guns began short stroking. That night, I pulled the BCG to find that the FL was tacky, like old burnt cooking grease in a cast iron skillet. When I checked the rest of the guns, they were all in the same condition. Some of those guns had seen alot of rounds, but a couple saw less than 100 each. ALL had the same tacky, sticky FL residue. I stripped the malfunctioning gun of all FL, reapplied weaponshield, which was a known good, and the gun went back to 100% functionality. And that was the end of my FL experiment.
