Yeh, I must admit that my recollection is that my mother was more tolerant of that smell in the house when I was 12 than my wife is now that I'm all grown up. Hoppe's #9 is currently consigned to the workshop only.

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.

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

It lingered for a while but luckily it was right by our sliding door so I was able to soak the spill up and then use the carpet cleaner wet vac to get the rest. Just aired it out for about a week and it went away.

All you need is to apply a bit of oil and you're good to go, it's a polymer gun not a 1911.
