Hey fellas,
I’m running a Gen 1 AT-X, and currently have over 2k rounds through the action.
Until just recently, I’ve used the 6.5CM factory barrel. I have since switched to a 308 barrel.
I’m running a light charge 308 loading, and I’m having my bolt stick at the very last part of the cycle. The last stroke of the bolt cycle where the cocking lever disengages with the trigger assembly (forgive my ignorance if I have the nomenclature incorrect.)
What I’m saying is, there are no signs of pressure on the brass, the bolt lifts perfectly fine and easy until the very last bit, and I have to lift it hard to get it to release….I’ve cleaned the chamber and made sure I have no lube on my brass, but the bolt still does this sticking action almost every cycle….sometimes it works just fine though.
Any thoughts? I’d appreciate a fresh set of brains to help me make sure I’m not missing something.
I will say that my brass is older and likely in need of replacing. I plan to shoot some factory ammunition today to see if it replicates.
Thanks boys!!!
