When I said "well", it was intended as a synonym for "properly", and not for "excessively". I should have worded it differently for the sake of clarity.

And you're quite right. Excessive lube is never good on anything. In the case of a grease, excessive amounts will severely mess with the proper operation of the gun.

I picked up an open bolt stock and onemenace let me use some of his teflon grease on my gun and it has worked FENOMINAL since. The open bolt system has done me wonders especially after seeing the maintenance and care from seeing others with closed bolt versions.

There part of the bolt that hits the bearing/roller of the hammer a lot which will initially wear away at the thin coat of paint on the open bolt system so I'd say put the grease on after the paint wears away (will only take a few hours while in a game to have it gone).

Ohh.. and dont forget... you'll also need to change the top part of your mags to fit the open bolt system. link available here. You can also get em from Evike, but they take fucking forever to move forward with their orders.

You can ask Ra-Tech for specific part # for any models. I asked them to find me a list of M14 replacement parts and they all got it for a ridiculous price (like the hop up metal chamber for 2$ etc)

WE kinda suck to me sometime as all their guns required upgrade or replacement parts to function....!!

You mean to function SUPERBLY.

WE's function just as well as WA, KJW gas guns out of the box. Each manufacturer has their own strengths and weaknesses.

When tweaked, however, magnificent. It all comes down to personal preference.
