"They" are full of crap. A standard AR will run quite a long time without lubrication. Mike Pannone proved this years ago. Just because they can, doesn't mean they should. That Anderson may run 1-2k rounds before it has a failure. My AR, correctly lubricated, will run thousands and thousands of rounds without cleaning, simply by regularly applying lubrication.
R85, whatever that is, is nothing more than a sales gimmick.
My best guess is that R85 is probably just a form of PTFE coating like PSA use to coat the inside of their buffer tubes with.....which did nothing.
In the past, I had some issues with their receivers being out of spec. But that was back during one of the panics, so maybe QC slipped during a period of high demand. Today, their receivers seem pretty good. Their barrels are Ballistic Advantage (Aero bought BA). So the barrels are good too. I have no experience with their bolt carrier groups. And I have heard a few complaints about assembly recently.
When comparing A to B, the question is always one of cost vs quality. If they cost as much as BCM or similar, they damn sure better be doing things to a similar standard. If there is a corner being cut, then the value proposition is not the same.
The spec actually calls for a dry film lube on the inside of the receiver extension and the upper receiver. But it does eventually wear through.
lube the crap out of it with CLP and choot it.....god i love that smell...lol
Sons of Liberty Gun Works is one of my favorite companies these days. Others include BCM and Sionics. This mod cast from Primary and Secondary is a recent interview with Mike, one of the SOLGW owners. I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet, but I can assure you that it will be jam packed with good info on good vs bad.

I was about to say that stuff wore out of the tube within a couple hundred rounds. I just wipe my spring down with a coat of CLP occasionally. Everything else get EWL, which I have been very pleased with thus far. Seems to hold up much better than CLP, especially suppressed.
