I didn't notice anything about cleaning/lubing it before firing in the manual (could be there, I just didn't see it). I knew it was "best practice", though, so really should've done it. Just got a bit lazy.
As for the FA, I remember pushing it before firing once (just don't remember which time). It was more a check sort of thing to make sure it was seated than any real reason. I didn't push it hard or get any additional movement or sound from the bolt.
I'm fairly certain I didn't ride the charging handle. Only time I would have would've been after a misfire, as I used the bolt release on fresh mags.
Oh, and all those dents were there fresh from the box. The bullets in a row have never been chambered in my gun. On the misfires, the black around the neck and the scratches on the bullets (if you can see those) are the only new marks I saw.
