[QUOTE="PRCLITE, post: 2089790, member: 77124"] Haha - yeah definitely not a friction reducer that I'm using that I know of. About three years ago I decided to streamline all of my processes and build a rifle that was easy to obtain, grab n' go, reliable, repeatable platform and along with that I streamlined my cleaning process as well.
