Madhouse Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 So, I have a bolt that is hesitant to move in the carrier. I've determined it to be the gas rings. Once they get to the mouth it pushes in very hard. Once in, the bolt spins freely so I know that's the pinch point. Are the gas rings possibly oversized?

Robocop1051 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Is it a new BCG? Most carriers are chrome lined, and not all chrome is created equal. The rings might have to work themselves in before they work comfortably. If you can cycle it by hand, you may have to spend some time on the couch just functioning the action a bit.

Yes & don't be shy about lubricating it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibiwan Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 You got to move it in and out repeatedly too. It will all loosen up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatshooter Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 The bolt in my DPMS LR308 makes a nice slurping sound moving back and forth inside the bolt carrier. Works flawlessly. But then I'm running it wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Right on, thanks all. I gave it a nice healthy dose of oil and will work it over a bunch. It is already moving a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sure sign of uneven chrome. No worries there. It'll correct itself over time as parts mate to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I might have left a bad impression with this remark and if it was taken amiss, I apologize. It was my lurid prose in post #6 that I thought would be suggestive, I thought blue picked up on that -- I should have added a smiley, just like blue did. Here's the smiley. :)) No offense meant, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
