Finally got my XCR...what a cool weapon.

So while I wait for the ammo to arrive, I sent the lower to Bill for a trigger job.

I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Thanks to all for your advice and postings. Thanks to you Terra!

Welcome.

Stuiped question but, I dont feel like thinking very deeply or to any extent right now but, by not lubbing it, wont the parts ware faster, making the break in quicker???

 

[va_plinker]

My thought would be yes for the parts that wear together, provided the ammo is hot enough to cycle it.

But is break-in just about parts wearing together?

 

[Ranly]

So far as I can figure, what else would it do???

You would not run your new car with out oil to break it in faster don't f ya rifle over the same way! :duh:

Running dry metals together is a bad idea in general. Metal surfaces spall or tear and smear when rubbed together without a layer of lube between them. I just directed a guy to scrap out a $400 machine tool part today for that very problem. Now on your rifle your may never notice visible smearing of the metal, at least not for a long time, if shot dry, but none-the-less I can't think of a good reason to do it.

Nice man. Post pics

The XCR is awesome. I was an early adopter and still believe in the weapon very much
