Took my new Springfield 1911 A1 out to the range the other day for it's first firing, and I noticed some damage to the casings.
(sorry the picture is so big, but I needed detail)
The two on the right were in the first string of five that I fired. The two on the left were later on, maybe 25 rounds in. You can see on the right two both the markings on the neck as well as the base. The left two have very little marking.
Do you think this is typical of a new weapon? Following G&A's advice I broke it down, cleaned excess lubricant from the barrel, and gave it a good dose of Remington gun oil.
Your thoughts, please!
