Thanks for the reply; I definitely didnt want to shoot more than the 8 shots i did because of what you mentioned. I actually dont know if the spring is within spec. Ill look into that.

Good news is I went out and shot a few more after cleaning it and worked fine. It was definitely lubed when it was causing problems, and was only dirty from less than 25 rounds. I just found it hard to believe fouling from 3 clips would cause it to no longer function 100%.

Guess I’ve got alot to learn!

Is it possible to overclean?

Prior to, i had some heavy grease almost anywhere i could think of. After the proper cleaning, i rid all that and put a dab of grease in the follower, and some light oil on the rest of the moving prts
