ArtS:

That info. raises my consciousness, but I have two questions:

!) What is an example of a specific condition that would provoke one of those discrete, as opposed to on-going, incidents that actuates the wear by galling?

2) I get it that galling, leading to friction wear, can be due to contact between two moving metals that are similar. But is it not dissimilar metals that are given to galvanic corrosion?

It seems that in either case your gun will benefit from a lubricant at those wear points.
