Tearing down my new MK 1 before taking to the range.

OK then we are drifting a bit off point here. From the looks of it we have two apposed views on how much maintenance is needed before a rifle is taken to the range for the first time. As has been said so many times in the past “it’s your rifle do as you please”. As this thread is for the most part a duplicate of the previous one I’m not sure much more can be gained by debating the points further.

Aren't you overlooking the entertainment factor?

But seriously, “it’s your rifle do as you please” is not good enough. Whoever takes a rifle to a range has a duty to make sure that it is safe. And thus to carry out as much dismantling and inspection as is necessary for that purpose. Or, failing the appropriate knowhow, to have it done by a competent person.
