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.

I've been shooting, fixing, and building these things a long time. I'm an "enthusiast"

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. |

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! |

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