1) Is there a need (&what is protocol) to "break in" a new Henry Survival take down .22 rifle. I've never owned a new gun of any kind so the concept of having to break it in is something that has never come up. For all I know it is only needed on certain calibers, or types of rifles. Any guidance appreciated. (I didn't find anything on the Henry website)
2) The inside of the action that the bolt slides within is just simply rough. I haven't fired it yet so it may not be an issue at all but I can't fight the urge to want to polish this metal. An obvious potential concern is creating additional space but as it stands I cannot imagine that the rough internal surface wouldn't eventually wear the heck out of the bolt as it cycles back and forth over time. Is this roughness built into the design or a by-product of it being an "inexpensive" (I won't say cheap) production process.
