I can see that some of us understand machinery and some of us do not. Comparing guns to cars or motorcycles is a fine analogy. Break in polishes down the high areas and then stops, as noted.

You guys that think that your gun should run 100% out of the box probably have no problem with tweaking the new car that you get, following the manufacturers advice. If you yell about it long enough, or sic cheese eaters on em, they'll start breaking the guns in at the factory, and gun prices will get closer to car prices.
