So gun nuts', do anything special when a firearm follows you home before taking it to the range or field.
Used the rest of my windfall money to order a Ruger SR1911 I picked up today and put it through my pre-range routine before heading out on Friday for break in before my IDPA match on Saturday. It gets a detail strip, clean and lube, but I also do a tune up fluff and buff on the fire control group before reassembly. Not a full trigger job but I do clean up a lot of the rougher machine marks on the parts that rub together with some flitz and lapping compound. I try not to tinker too much with my stock firearms but I feel a connection to a firearm that I've worked on myself.
My franken guns are another story altogether.
What say you?
