Issue:
The slide scratch the part of the outer barrel near the ejection port, leave terrible scratch marks.
The slide do not go all the way back, causing the slide catch not working. Could be caused by the increase of friction in the slide, or the magazine.

Fix (so far):
Sanded and polished the inside of the slide.
More sanding and polishing on the scratched outer barrel, then metal brushed the barrel to make it looks somehow close to the way it were.
Completely cleaned the slide assembly, reapplied grease.
Applied dry lubricant on the contacting surface of the slide and the outer barrel.

No more slide scratch now when I pull the slide. Will do a firing test later today.

Other comments:
This gun has the potential to turn me into a GBB gun doctor.

Interesting. Mine hasn't had any scratches on t that I've noticed, and I've racked it many a time. I'll keep an eye on it. Just a BTW toss the mag, it's not very good, unless yours handles longer than normal ones.

Yeah I plan to do that.
Don't want to pay for shipping for only the 1911 mags so that will wait for the next "batch" order.

yeah, if you can, get TM mags. They are compatible with the R28, and obviously, being TM, will be much better
