I always do the stripping, cleaning & deburring but feel the Steve's Gunz full fledged tune-up is unnecessary except for guns to be run in Cowboy Action Shooting competitions.
Some of the earlier Amadeo Rossi M92 guns were pretty rough around the edges (literally
) and drill holes but I've been hearing that the 2nd generation Braztech R92 guns are much smoother NIB........don't own one so I don't know.
My Rio Grande is a Braztech and it was fine mechanically NIB but horrible in regards to cleanliness. I stripped and cleaned it & found a couple of small burrs to polish off and a lot of gunk (compacted cosmoline, machining shavings, rust & dirt).
After stripping and reassembling your 92 a few times you gain a thorough knowledge of the inner workings of your gun that is invaluable in planing troubleshooting and fixing strategies.
The Rio Grande 336 near-clone (some differences from the Marlin) is child's play to strip & reassemble in contrast with the 92 which can be an exasperating experience the first time out.
Hunting guns don't need the full tune-up.
