| Hi guys, I accidently dry fired my R1 while I was taking it apart to once again give Frog lube a try. I know someone's going to ask at what stage of disassembly I was at when it happened, and for the life of me I cant remember. I was so wrapped up in worrying if I had damaged something, and going over and over how I was going to clean of each individual part from the oil that was on it, I'm just not sure. If I was to guess, Id say I had released the tension of the recoil spring by the first turn of the bushing, and then it happened. Anyway on another note, I used ZEP orange cleaner on all the parts, then heated them with a blow dryer, and while warn applied the frog lube. I'll give an update on how it was to clean after my next range visit. Happy New year and be safe. |

Quoted: I'd be more worried about the Orange Cleaner and the Frog lube screwing up the gun. If nothing snapped and flew off, and if all the parts work like they are supposed to still, non-issue. It's doing it repeatedly with the slide off that messes anything up. |
