Default Re: [OT] Galling is friction "chatter"

Thanks, John. I have been using a Breakfree product, "Lubricant- Preservative," or a similar name. It is the same asBreakfree CLP, but without the cleaning ingredients, and the label says it was developed for SS autos and machine guns. (Sig recommended Breakfree or a Kleen Bore product, TW-25.) The gun is brand new, and I've just fired 2-3 boxes of ammo in it. Last night I noticed some discoloration -in the grooves in the frame that carry the slide --a darker gray color. Didn't know if that was damage, "galling," or just the normal look of a stainless gun where there is metal-to-metal contact. Thanks again, guys.
