I understand that the ASA name recognition is not positive. I wondered if there were any issues with the lowers, and wondered who supplied them to ASA?

I don't know how these rate as lowers compared to the usual favorites.

I did make up some of this for my 1911. Maybe I should lube the mag tube with it. Slick Stuff This very "oily", (i.e. slick, greasy) lubricant appears to adhere very well to metal, with little or no creep. Thus it does not appear to drain from slides and parts during extended storage. From the formula it appears that it might not be suitable at very low temperatures. 2 parts Dexron II or III automatic transmission fluid 1 Part Mobil-1 Synthetic Oil, 30 weight, or 10W-30 1 Part STP Oil Treatment (the stuff for "old" cars w/ over 30,000 mi.)

I have lubed the mag tube with CLP and left it dry at the 'O' ring and gas port. Either way seems to allow for that hard baked carbon deposit at the 'O' ring groove. What do you all do to help eliminate this?
