Are there any lubes known to be OK on the plastic over the long term?
Yes, you can lube a polymer lower. There are many benefits to doing so. A properly lubricated polymer lower will lessen wear and tear on the active components, help prevent jams, and make the gun easier to clean. Likewise, lubricating your polymer lower will also make it more resistant to friction and heat damage.
