Not what I said or implied, but a strawman is nothing new to me.
The kind where most of the operation of the rifle becomes quite smooth by feel. That's not always the same number of rounds, it depends on the individual rifle.
Like an engine for instance? Or maybe machine tools are a better example?
That's not my logic at all, and I'll offer you $1000 cash to show me where I've ever said such.
No. It would make sense that unlubricated metal-to-metal contact between metals of varying materials, strength, hardness, and surface finish would only be an invitation to the overall deterioration and inefficiency of contact surfaces, or galling. Lubrication serves to minimize the number of inefficient contact surfaces until interference surfaces wear into a state of even lubrication and surface contact.
No. See above.
That's terrific. It's also a sample size of one that's specific to your experience, so making generalizations about the platform in general on that basis seems ill-advised.
