Well, actually, no, my CMMG didn't.
Forget my first day out on the 27th when I didn't even bother to clean it first. And I was using Remington Goldens, which, as we know, is about the worst 22LR ammo on the planet.
Fast forward to today. Before I took it out today I took the bolt and chamber assemblies off the rails and cleaned everything really well. I did not take the bolt apart.
I lubed the contact areas on the rails and the bolt with a thin coating of Brian Enos Slide Glide and everything else got a very, very thin coat of gun oil. Did I say it was a thin coat?
And I picked up a couple of bulk packs of Federal Load #750 at WalMart for $13.50each.
Today was the true test. I put a whole bulk pack (550 rounds) thru it without so much as a hiccup - no failures to feed, fire or eject at all. And I didn't have to put any additional lube of any kind on the conversion bolt. The kit is pretty dirty and dry now, but the bolt continues to move as smooth as silk - love that Slide Glide. I first started using it on my M&P9FS a year or so ago.
I was loading up my 4 BDM mags to about 25 each and basically doing mag dumps one right after the other, busting up clay targets I had set on the backstop berm of the range. The only rest the gun got was when I was loading the mags. A friend came by with his own BDM mags and ran about another 100 or so thru it, again with no failures of any kind.
I am a happy camper and highly endorse the CMMG conversion kit.
