You would be AMAZED at how hard it can be to get oil out of parts. We degrease, aluminum oxide blast, acetone bathe, then heat to 250 degrees, then recheck for any grease or oil. The current record is 7 rewashes on a shotgun receiver.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
