As for all the other itemes, I'll put together a shooping list of all the bits & pieces and then get you guys to confirm that I'm on the right track.

I appreciate all the help!
Go to Wal*Mart and buy a couple of cheap gun brushes. I did that and it worked just fine. You use the smaller one to ream where the tip of the GP goes and the larger one to ream out the body of where the GP goes. Personally, I think the latter is the problem child but I did the former just because I was there. They squeaked a bit even with anti-seize and went in squeaky. Cleaned the body and all was well.
