G'day all.

I'm making the leap into GBBRs this year, but I'm concerned about "safe" oils for maintenance purposes. My background includes care and use of RS pistols/rifles, but I'm not certain if the lubes I use there would be safe for the GBBRs. My current gun oils are "polymer safe", since I own a number of firearms that have mixed components (i.e., steel & polymer).

So, are my RS "polymer safe" oils also safe for GBBRs? Should I be concerned about the oils contaminating the o-rings, seals, and hopup rubber? What about the plastic components on the GBBRs themselves?

In one thread, there was mention of using "machine oil" in the trigger group and bolt assembly only. Is this another name for 3-in-1 mechanical oil? Is the use of this oil advisable?

Or should I just move all oiling over to silicon-based oils - super-lube and light-weight oils?

Thanks.
