Well i cleaned out the firing pin area and that was very simple. Ive been shying away as i thought something might pop out and i'd be screwed but it wasnt that way. I noticed they used a rubber/plastic o-ring to help seal it from fouling and it seems to have worked.
i shot another 2" group today at 100 with the 338 platinum. I made new targets as the 4" dot was getting blurry in the late evening so i made a 3" dot and that should do the trick.
I babied it today and took about an hour to clean the barrel,frame and firing pin. I got her shining like new again.
