I ordered a cleaning kit and some oil.. will I damage (or prematurely wear) anything by firing 100+ rounds through it prior to oiling it?

Just got a Ruger Mark III Competition .22, and while it feels solid and quality, everything on it is really stiff. Racking the bolt you damn near shred your fingers pulling the grooved bolt grips. The bolt release button you have to mash with your thumb hard (hard enough to leave an imprint in your finger) to get it to operate. Now, I have not field stripped it nor oiled anything, and it has never been fired (other than the factory test round).. so I'm wondering, is this how normally tight new guns are?? Should I strip and oil it before shooting it? Can I expect it to ease up once it has some rounds through it??

Tru Value in Lincoln Park is now $45 cash, $50 credit card.

Does the yellow form have to be paid with a money order for the $18? I feel like I'm going to go to my PD to fill out paperwork, only to be told "ok, now take this somewhere else and get a money order, then bring it all back here..."

Thanks! Honestly I had no idea that was there, that is much closer to me than RTSP actually. Have you been there? Thoughts?

Just saying hello! I first went shooting last year at RTSP and I loved it. I had never fired a handgun before, but wound up renting a Baretta 92FS, Sig P250, and a Remington R1S. My dad was in the Navy and went on to compete in shooting competitions with a High Standard and won many awards. I can't afford the pistol he used, so I settled on a Ruger Mark III Competition which I am in the process of obtaining. I also would love to pick up a Sig P220 Stainless Elite, if I didn't have to sell a kidney for it lol. I fell in love with the R1S at the range, it might be the first .45 I pick up after the Ruger. I plan on taking some training courses at RTSP, and I do believe that owning a gun is a responsibility that should be taken seriously with proper training and storage. I'm looking forward to the whole process and hopefully will have more to talk about in the forums!
