I think I might change out some springs on this sucker. Really enjoying it. Everyone who I have let hold it loves the feel too.
I've always just heard it makes the DA pull a lot nicer and reduces the strength it takes to rack the slide. Think the springs are rated for +p+ ammo the Czech MPs use. Only a few bucks so its not a big deal. Mostly I just wanna tinker with it. :awe:

Also, what is barrel bushing?
You can grease up the barrel if you want. The most important part to lube on the barrel are the locking lugs in front of the chamber, put a light coat on those, you'll want to reduce friction there.
On certain parts, the finish will wear almost instantly: the hammer, where it hits the pin, the part of the trigger close to its hinge, the slide rail, and the rod of the takedown lever. This wear doesn't effect function (if anything it makes the function smoother).
Drying my ammo before I store it!
What 1600 rounds looks like.

Isn't this what desiccant is for? Buy a large package of those things, put one or two in each large container of ammo
I think I've got something like 2500 rounds in storage right now...really need to pick up more 30-06 safe for my garand and some 12ga 00buck.
I'm a little more paranoid about moisture then that. I have packets in the ammo can's but I like them to be dried out of the box before I store them.
Yeah, I've got 1K in 5.56 and 1K in 9mm that I've just left in the boxes in a dry area of the house. *shrug* Water/moisture damage to live rounds, is that even really a concern?
This - the finish will just wear in come places. Tennifer is the only finish I've never seen wear much.

Uh, speaking of ammo, can I just get the cheapest crap I find at Walmart? Or is that bad for the gun?
