I wouldn't say it was filling up, but I noticed that there were a few specs of flakey brass colored metal bits in the channel. When I got it all cleaned up, I didnt find anything that would have interuppted operation...but I am a total clean freak with my guns. I have always been into precision, and clean every nook and cranny. Its not uncommon for me to completely break down a weapon once or twice a year (depending on how much it gets used) and polish every piece of metal.
Once I had the pin out, I wanted to put a brass brush on the catch that sites against the disconnector. It was kind of rough and I generally like to get that surface smooth to ensure a clean let off when I pull the trigger.
After I cleaned everything up the dry fires felt and sounds noticable smoother.
I plan to keep a count of how many rounds I go through before it looks gummed up again.
I would think I should be able to get at least 1000 rounds or better before I need to clean it like this again.
