gunnerBU Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I recently picked up an STI Trojan from Dawson Precision. I’ve shot one match with it. Probably less than 250 rounds total through the gun. I noticed the the slide was a little stiff and thought it was the disconnector catching on the slide. I disassembled the gun and noticed what looks like galling on the right frame rail. Has anyone ever seen this on an STI? I read about this happening on stainless guns in the past. I’ll be calling Dawson in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norther Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 No, I haven’t heard of an STI galling. I don’t think they make stainless guns. That does look pretty rough though. Maybe some grit got in there somehow? Do you keep it well lubed? Looks pretty dry now, but I expect you cleaned it for the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerBU Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yes, I cleaned it. I had hoppes oil on the rails, but I guess it didn't provide enough lubrication. I’ll be using slide glide from now on. I never thought the slide and frame would seize with hoppes oil. STI does not make stainless guns to my knowledge.
