Yeah I have used 30 weight oil on Ma Duce during all the way in and two and a half out beau coup pucker factor belt runs ..... Will try the trans fluid ....

If the frog lube is good on combat Tupperware that alone is a selling point.

Anyone running a piston upper on their AR ? Getting ready to make a purchase of such for my existing lowers.

Leaning towards these folks for a SBR papered build.

Anyone know of their reputation etc pro / con ?

Thanks folks !

Completed a piston kit project last year. I built three ARs and put the Adams Arms on a 16 inch carbine; the CMMG on a Pistol/11.5 inch ; the Osprey Defense 416 on a 14.5 inch carbine w/permanent la vang flash hider. Each required some 'tuning' to function flawlessly, but they all worked. Unfortunately, the CMMG was the most finnicky and hardest to use my CMMG stainless conversion to 22lr with.

The tuning is to get the dwell time correct for each paricular gun. Far and away the Osprey is the best of the three, and their bolt carrier is rated for full auto if you want to. I tuned my builds by removing an 1/8inch from the last coil of the buffer spring at a time until the rifle/pistol cycled every time fired with any weight bullets.

I'm selling the pitol with CMMG kit at a local gunshow next weekend, if I can find a buyer. You will find you can run the Osprey for a few thousand rounds before needing a cleaning. I still haven't run that much through all three ... can't find ammo to replace what I would use up!
