1) The owners manual lists an incredibly long and detailed process for cleaning. Field strip, remove bolt, remove extractor, clean gas tube, etc. Is this really necessary to do each time, or can I still maintain reliability using an abreviated cleaning job, but do a detail job every so often? What should I focus on?
2) The manual says to lube darn near everything. In my experienced oil shoud only be put on sliding parts, and that oiling the crap out of stuff just makes them gunk up faster and harder to clean. Where do you lube and how much?
3) Is it OK to fire the imported steel cased ammo in the Bushmaster chrome lined barrels? It's a fair piece cheaper than other ammo, but I'd hate to damage the chamber with the steel cases.
Thanks guys,
