For good feeding on a new gun take some #600 sandpaper and lighlty polish the feed ramp and the inside of the chamber throat. I clean mine every time I shoot. Best lube is Tetra Gun lube (get it from Brownells). I also recommend a shok-buff to protect the frame (also Brownells).
As for stripping the gun: does youres have a full-length solid guide rod and bushing? If so, you can drill a 1/16" take down hole in the rod that makes it very easy to take the rod and spring out as a captive assembly. I can give this info later if you need it.
