[QUOTE="zseese, post: 807844, member: 8672"] the rifling condition is important for accuracy, if it is not from the cmp you need to fire it first to make sure the extractor is properly positioned and functioning right, make sure the bolt moves smoothly and forcefully when released, if the chamber has rust or corrosion built up the casing will stick and be a pita to remove(i know from personal experience). in a lot of cases the front hand guard may be slightly loose from contraction of the wood but the stock should not be loose at all, that would mean poor fitiment and guarantee poor accuracy and possible safety concerns. you will want to get an adjustable gas plug if you want to shoot regular commercial ammo, cost is about 30 and very easy to install/adjust, it can also make the gun more accurate with varying ammo or even the factory m2 ball surplus. it is recommended to go ahead and replace your op rod spring and clip latch spring right off the bat.
