I just received another RRA upper and I LOVE the smell of the oil they use

Seriously though, it has a sweet smell...kinda like new car smell.

What do they use?

Mine lasted in my gun for a year and a half, I still haven't gotten to fire it though. ;_; I might get to today! Probably have to put more oil in it by now. My EOTech is crooked too a bit, I hope I can zero it properly. Anyway, yes, I don't know what the oil is but I like it too. Smelled clean for a gun, yet..oily..it's weird. :P

It's most likely a preservative and not a lubricating oil.  It should be cleaned off and then lubricated with a lubricating oil prior to shooting.

It's like, slanted to the left I think while it's on the rail. Doesn't feel like it's pointing straight.

Only thing that smells better than one of their AR's is one of their 1911's!
