The smell of NEW modelgun...

Has anyone received their new modelgun which comes in a very strong smell?

Whenever I bought my modelgun new this smell always come with them. I think it is some sort of oil that the manufacturers use. After a while this smell will slowly go away as the gun oil I use basically wash the original one away. Strange but I find these smells are nice coz they smells like NEW!!!

Hehe, hell yeah!! I tried to find that smell in many of oils but couldn't find the same smell. But my dad made me smell an old pot of oil he has & it has the same smell !! But it looks like "solid" oil....

I have to say it smells just like new plastic to me and i prefer the smell of the gun when its had a few rounds put through it.

Definately after a few rounds, preferably still smoking.

I think that the smell that we note comes from a combination of silicone oils and new ABS plastic "off gassing" Eeeewww! Strangely, i like the smell of the fired caps! (as long as the windows are open )
