Let's say I buy an autoloader. And, I like it a whole lot. But, it's not as reliable as I might like. What would you do, generically, to an auto to make it more reliable?
If there are things you do only to a specific model, let me know that too.
And spring replacement. This worries me a little. Let's say I'm carrying an auto and I should replace the spring at some unknown round count in the future. I shoot my auto regularly. How do I trust it? How do I know the springs don't need to be changed, now? If I'm relying on the gun, I want it to be reliable, but how do I know the springs aren't in need of replacement?
I did a search, and didn't see a comprehensive list of reliabilty tuning suggestions.
I follow that lots of people don't carry an unreliable gun, but what, if anything, do you try before you give up?
Let's also assume I've fired 500 rounds in the gun to "break it in".
Thanks in advance for replies.
