Crazy thing is my $600 ria arrived with the 2 casings required by new york, but so meticulously cleaned that you'd never know it had been fired...

My Glock was that way... super clean. But who knows if Glock cleaned it themselves or if someone at the gun shop cleaned it when it came in.

get used to it....

Yep, my Sig had obviously been fired, but I'm glad they test 'em.

Like you said, if my bang stick don't go bang, I ain't going to be a happy camper LOL

Sigs are all test fired, as are Glocks. I have a Glock 17 around here somewhere. It came with a little manila envelope in the case that contained two empty cartridges from the test firing.

As I mentioned, coming dirty from test firing at the factory is no big deal. A quality combat weapon will run fine dirty. I clean my pistols and rifles, but only every so often. Maybe every thousand rounds for pistols and every 2000-3000 rounds for rifles. A precision rifle...that I might clean more often, but in a combat weapon I'm more concerned about function than I am about precision and a Glock or Sig, or any quality AR15/M4 will run fine for thousands of rounds with only some quality lube and an occasional bore snake. AR's have a tendency to accumulate carbon around the bolt tail, so periodically I'll soak them in some CLP or maybe some kerosene and wipe them off, or maybe scrape them. That, and an occasional chamber brushing and any quality AR with an in-spec chamber works even if absolutely filthy as long as they're lubed.

Man, I clean mine meticulously even when I don't really need to. I know my Glock will run just fine dirty but I clean it after every time I shoot it, even if it's only 100 rounds or so. My guns that don't get shot... I clean them once every 1-3 months.

I really like taking them apart and putting them together again.

I have 2 glocks, and I remember seeing the envelope with the 2 shell casings, but I know with this Rock River I just bought, there were no casings.

I love to shoot at the range and I love to drive the Z. The Z always has to wait in the parking lot while I shoot, and gets jealous. So now I just drive down the road shooting signs, that way we can do it together.

Anyone know of a good shop in MD that can put a 1911 back together? I took my Kimber 1911 almost completely apart to install some new parts...but never ended up ordering the parts and have since forgotten how I took it apart...it's been apart for months!

Thanks!

Kirkster could probably put it back together for you.

m4a1mustang · 09-13-2011, 09:22 PM

So I've put together a Spike's Upper and Lower for $750, not including rear sight. Thinking about it.
