A little FYI; did you get a small square of aqua microfiber in that kit? You're supposed to. There's a little loop on the end of the squeegie. The square is supposed to fit in the loop which makes cleaning the barrel better than w/o it -  |
Thanks! No, I actually didn't check the paint to bore relationship. (I chalk that up to years of inactivity, lol!) Good idea though. I need to do that. I also wondered about the clip spring - it was hard to push down with just my thumbnail for a few times.
Yes, I did actually get the microfiber. I used it, but neglected to put it in the review. I'll fix that now.

I agree, cutting springs always made me a little nervous, too. I'll just load mine and leave it that way for a while and see if that helps also.
