Anyone here into firearms?

just FYI...ive heard that Hoppe's #9 kinda smells so make sure you're in a well ventilated area lol

and I bought that brush set, they work pretty well
some people use an old toothbrush too and said it works

You might consider a Huldra upper. It's based on the Adams Arms piston design. Stewart Mills (Mills Fleet Farm) is a shooting buddy of mine and that's his brand. I've seen Huldras in action and they are impressive. Very high quality, very well made. Huldra Arms - AR Gas Piston Rifles . A Huldra would be my first choice if I were interested in a gas piston rifle. Nothing wrong with LMT, though. Likewise, LWRC makes an excellent gas piston rifle.



Yeah, I agree. Anything that needs Q-tips on my rifles gets blasted with brake cleaner instead.




Boy, ain't that the truth!



It's the smell of my youth, though. I stick with Hoppe's #9 because of the smell..

That price is very compelling as well...It is about half of gas piston uppers I have seen out there. One thing I like about the LMT and Mega Arms offerings is that the forearm is integral to the upper so that the pushrod channel could never vary from how it was designed. It might save on weight as well but I can't find that specification yet. I need to get through a couple more handgun training courses before I do anything with my AR so things might change by then. But it is good to know of another less expensive, vetted option out there...thanks!

Yes, one should not jam Q-tips in the inner workings of their firearms
