O pano, nakumbinsi mo na si commander na bibili ka ng toy? You’ve finally secured your first carry firearm and raring to go out and play? HUWAG MUNA!

Preparing to Break-in Your Life Preserving Toy:

1. Immediate things to buy:

Kala mo tapos na gastos mo nung nabili mo na FA mo? Malabo, nag-uumpisa pa lang ang paghihirap mo, marami ka pang miryendang palalampasin at malamig na beer na iiwasan; uminom ka man sa labas, wag ka munang magte-table … marami ka pang dapat bilhin bro.

Huwag ka namang bili ng bili, may mga mahalagang dapat bilhin agad at mayroong dapat timbangin muna kung kailangan mo nga ba talaga. So anong dapat bilhin?

• 100 – 200 rounds of full metal jacket (FMJ) ammo either Armscor or Magtech; your choice, these are priced relatively the same.
• 1 – 2 bullet organizers (diyan mo iipunin yung basyo mo for reloading … i recommend teflon reloads … healthier and less wear on the barrel)
• 1 box of carry ammo (JHP – magtech is cheap but essentially effective)
• cleaning kit (i suggest universal kit unless takot ka ki missis at wala ka nang planong bumili ng toy ulit …. maiinggit ka, promise!)
• cleaning agent and lubricant
• tool box to organize your cleaning tools and implements

2. Protect Yourself Legally

Join a gun club; I recommend Armscor Marikina, apparently sila lang nakaka-facilitate ng 3 month PTT for all FED accredited ranges all over the country. Di bale nang malayo bro, sa susunod naman makakapamili ka na ng range na malapit sa inyo.

3. Field Strip and Clean Your New FA

Read the manual, browse the net … study your FA and how to field strip it, clean and reassemble. Clean your unit as best you can; pay attention to signs of factory grease that has begun to cake with dirt and time. Make sure your barrel is completely clean, when they did a ballistics test in Crame they most likely used lead reloads … cheap mga tao doon eh. Remember the cleaner your bore before break-in the better it’s grouping potential as you break it in. When you reassemble your FA, make sure everything is properly sitted in place.

4. Himas-himasin Mo Toy Mo

Ok bro pwede kang mag-emote, mahalin mo unit mo dahil buhay mo naman ang katapat niyan. Pero wag kang magtatagal par … si commander naman ang himasin mo para payagan ka to go out and play with matching baon pa. Isunod mo mga baby mo, wag puro yang baby’ng bakal ang kinakalong mo.

You’re now prepared to break-in your new toy. Prepare to go to the playground bro at inggitin ang mga kalaro mong mga bata. Tandaan, huwag mag-aaway magagalit si Lord
