Rifle bolt jamming in wet conditions
- Thread starter 357Ep
- Start date
Awaiting blaser uk to respond a bit
Taking to rfd in the new year
Thanks all for ideas etc
I love the rifle can't fault it outside of pouring rain so not gonna send it back, not normally anything to see under thermal in the rain anyway.
I am pretty confident it's tight fit/tolerance and then hydraulic lock from ingress
Interesting to know this is common on m18s and the Sauer 100, that's good info to hold on too!
I will come back with a response on what blaser/rfd say

The chap probably meant nickel or chrome plated.
Interesting but the description states ceracoate. So would the culprit be some unscrupulous retailer? Seems the manufacturer is honest.
My first thoughts on it,
I am pretty confident it's tight fit/tolerance and then hydraulic lock from ingress

I’m fairly sure i can guess what they will say.
Blaser will say - operates completely normally and is within spec, they can’t be held responsible for usage in extreme weather condition
may tell you to apply xyz product to avoid a hydro lock.RFD will say to get a refund so he can sell you a t3
I wouldn't want to know how many fell for the stainless looks. Even at trade shows they were promoting it as good as stainless which I thought that was a bit cheap. There is only one reason why they made it look like stainless. Nice to see they have proper stainless now.

Probably don't shoot it North of Manchester.
Any update?

Probably just another ‘light a fire and walk away’ thread
