+1 you should clean it. This will remove all the debris that can accumulate inside during manufacturing, and that can be a lot. It also allows you to inspect all of the innards for defects. I like to shoot new guns as soon as possible, I'm funny that way, but they get a cleaning/inspection first. |
| I sold an upper to a guy who disassembled it (it had never been fired by me and it was purchased new) and he claimed there was black residue in the gas tube. I never cleaned the weapon before storing it in a good place so is it possible that machining could cause this? Or maybe a test round from BM? Id like to know because it baffles me where the hell this could be comin from. |
