This is something I can relate to. Is that a major PITA or what? When I got my Loaded M1A, I think disassembly took 1 hour (stinking op rod), cleaning and regreasing 30 minutes, and assembly about 2 stinkin' hours. I didn't have glass bedding to worry about, but I will never, ever disassemble that thing for routine cleaning. Luckily, you don't have to field strip it more than once a year. For routine cleaning, I clean the bore, chamber, lugs, the face of the bolt, maybe the inside walls of the receiver and regrease lightly as needed.
Unfortunately, you really have to field strip a new rifle because the packing grease they use is more of a preservative than a lubricant. After I field stripped, cleaned everything with MPro7, and regreased with Tetra grease, the action was much smoother than before. And I mean way smoother. So, there must be benefit there. And when I took it to the range, it functioned flawlessly. Great rifle and quite purdy too!
BTW, if you have the California model, be aware that the Dewey delrin rode guide will not fit! You have to use the brass guide that slips inside the brake. That's the one shadowjack1 mentioned.
