Gun Solvent Residue equals Trouble

Don't blame it on the lube (usually) when it comes to accumulation within the bolt assembly, in the trigger or the slide, recoil surfaces and the rails - the obviously critical moving parts.

PTFE, most commonly and historically referred to as Teflon, a duPont brand, is no longer an exclusive thing. There are now other PTFE makers worldwide and if the company that was once duPont is still making it, it is no longer made in the USA to the best of my knowledge. Let's not get into any
