what should i expect for wear and tear on my imagine 2k4, brand new

[DayoftheGreek]

dont expect much... i dont own a spyder but from what ive heard i can tell u they arent easy to damage. U may have to start replacing some parts after shooting MANNNNYYY cases (20-40 is what i just saw on another thread). Dont take this as an excuse to abuse ur gun, oil it frequently and make sure u dont leave paint in ur gun if it breaks clean it well and u shouldnt have any problems.

make sure you oil your bolt before and after every use...and expect SOME paint/scratches on your bolt/inside of body...but make sure there isnt mass marks after shooting 1 case or you need to oil more.

You shouldn't expect much wear and tear but like CoWcH said make sure you keep your bolt oiled up and make sure after you go play to strip your gun and oil everything that needs oiling and do some cleaning and whatever other maintenance imagines need.

ive put about 4 cases through mine with never oiling on my xtra, no scratches but i guess i should start oiling it up

Just the normal stuff. The springs will lose their springyness, a scratches in the chamber (if you oil, it shouldn't be a problem), o-rings losing thier seal, and little things like that.

Some wear you might notice is fading of your anodizing after a while... but I'm talking like a few years down the line, if you play in the sun alot, or leave it in the sun.
