While doing a budget build, I came across a stripped Anderson MFG lower on PSA for around $40. I ended up picking it up because of the price. After I got it, I ended up looking up their website and I saw this "RF85 Treatment" that they do to make a completely "no lube" rifle. You clean it with simple soap and water.

I'm a little skeptical about this. Does anyone know if it is all that and a bag of chips like they advertise it to be? Even if you don't lube the internals of the receivers, you'd still need to oil the inside of the BCG and barrel to keep the BCG working properly and prevent rust in the barrel, wouldn't you? And because of that, you'd still need to clean the barrel and BCG in the same way you would a traditional AR, I would think. If you oil it occasionally, does it hurt the treatment? Anyone have any experience with these?

I was looking at their sight earlier and I believe that the RF85 treatment is only applied to the complete rifles that they sell.  Stripped uppers and lowers are not treated with it if I read it correctly.  

 

I purchased three Anderson lowers from PSA and the quality looks pretty good.  I've got one of them assembled and I'm deciding what to do for an upper.
