[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1796845, member: 29632"] I had a rifle that was full of grease that I failed to clean before trying to fire. It had lots of issues that I posed to the folks here and somebody suggested cleaning it. I never dreamed of cleaning a brand new rifle before but when I did I was amazed at how much grease was in the chamber. It was awful. The reason that's a bad thing is grease in the chamber can cause high pressure. While ultimately that was not the problem with this rifle, it was a headspace issue from the factory, it did open my eyes and I will always clean before that first shot I take from now on. [/QUOTE]
