Perhaps I miss communicated. It was all wet when I got it. The seller said that's how he runs them. I mean DRIPPING!! I thought that was odd. I told him I'm only familiar with glocks and I lube very little. No offense to him, but I just think that heavy lube is a magnet for the crud. Anyhow, I'll get some cell phone pics.
Oops. I guess i read it wrong. Carry on.
