Hello folks. Had the rimmy out yesterday and noticed something a bit strange. After a couple of mags though it the bolt started to tighten up, quite a bit.
I took the bolt out and give it a good clean with a lightly oiled cloth and replaced. No better. Now, the bolt cycles perfectly with a empty mag so its not the bolt.
I tried loading a round into the throat by hand and, there you go, the last 2-3mm very stiff. These are Winchester 40gr subs which I've always used and the gun usually loves. Have things changed with the winy subs ( this is a new brick ) or do I need to be checking something on the gun? I've tried CCI HPs and they are similar but, they seamed to of always dried my bolt out and made it stiff. The gun shoots well just the stiffness in the bolt. I'll try and get my hands on some other brands to try.
Theres not much to choose from at the moment though.
Anyone got any ideas?
Regards. cjs
