Sent a message and will call. I do not want a quick fix. I want to know why it is happening and a permeant solution!
And here am waiting for my brand new Rim-X to hit my FFL…..fudge
I'm waiting on a build. Action was ordered by the Smith in September and it hasn't shown up yet. I'm guessing this is why.
Wonder what serial number Zermätt and the current Rimx is on? I recently purchased a new 035**, just working the action in my hand everything seems to be ok.
Time will tell! I’m going to shoot it and cycle it like I’m oblivious………huh what gouging issue?!

If you have the issue, you’ll know it. Bolt will stick on close. Mine is also new. 3500’s as well. This is my first rimfire build so I thought there was some kind of break in period, until it kept happening. Other than that, it has fed and shot flawless so far. Had 4 lots of Tenex yesterday and all shot extremely well thru the PVA barrel. Finally settled on the lot that shot best at 100.
Did you grease your lugs at all? I smeared just a little bit on there. May be giving me false hope. I won’t know the rest of the story till later in the week when I get my barrel and actually put it to the test.

that the one I purchased was new old stock.Have two that are over 3500, one is like 35XX the other is 36XX. The 35XX after the first 10rds
I talked to Eric, they said they are working on a fix not a patch. He told me they were shooting for this month. I'm good with that, my issue at this point. Why put out the action if you know you have a problem. I'm 3 RimX rifles in. One is in the 15XX, that one is safe.
Yeah. Lugs were cleaned and greased prior to use.Did you grease your lugs at all? I smeared just a little bit on there. May be giving me false hope. I won’t know the rest of the story till later in the week when I get my barrel and actually put it to the test.

Report your findings once u get the chance to take it out !
I wouldn’t have any remorse. Ray has replied to me and the solution is forthcoming! Damn thing shoots lasers.
Did you purchase it online from a retailer, or RimX? Just wondering b/c mine was ordered in Sept and zero comms from RimX on when/where it is or when it will show up.
I emailed Zermatt yesterday, they replied today that they will send the replacement fixed parts.
I get being upset that they may have known this was not a fluke, I think that’s a reasonable reaction. At the same time I don’t know what the rate of the problem is or even that cause and I was not overly concerned. I am satisfied with the service so far, as well as the accuracy. Hopefully the service is an indicator of their standards.

Make sure you clean the action REAL good if you don’t get all the shavings out of the action/lugs it will happen again…ask me how I know this lol…if you have the means I’d suggest you pull the barrel to clean the action.
Good call! I have the tools and means but I probably would have forgotten about the recesses in the action.
Spoke with Ray yesterday - He is a stand up guy! Fix is in the works.
Report back after live fire cycling. That’s when I noticed.
Out of curiosity, what trigger are you running?
Exactly my story! Feels ok with the grease on it but I can see the wear/damage to the lugs already. I’m going to shoot it this weekend and see how bad it gets.
Zermatt told me it was fine to use it how it is until new bolt is available and shipped to me.
I’m a big Rimx fan so the issue doesn’t bitter me towards them, things happen!
Other than talking with them, where have they posted or written about the problem? I purchased two action before I knew the problem existed. January 8th when I ordered my action from a shop (a well known shop), i asked if they had seen any issues. They told me they had not and thought someone could be stirring the pot. The above results are what you see. I called the same day I discovered the problem.
I'm not going tontake it for granted a fix is happening. So, called them up. They apologize for the problem, said they will make it right, (I believe they will). If we don't let them know, they really have no way to qualify how big the problem is.
It sounds like some still have no issues. Which is very weird to me. Why some do and some don't, if it a material issue. Has me wondering.
Maybe some highly biased people will step up and respond and answer those questions.
I was warned to tread carefully for merely asking questions.
Just fyi grease stays in place and oil runs off.
Enough with the grease…. JD I understand what you’re saying and I’m not in denial that we have a problem. Zermatt is going to make it right! Should a mass recall been done? Maybe so! But that’s not up to the consumer it’s up to the manufacturer. Realistically, recall or not we would still be at the same place we are now. Waiting on a resolution and a superior replacement part.

Just saying if grease helps the keep the action running then just keep shooting until there's a fix and replacement part.
Everyone should just calm down and chill out. If Ray says there is a fix coming very soon and everyone will be taken care of, it will happen! All the water over the Dam issues and all the bitching will not help!
Am not worried about it, am sure they'll make it right. Was just contributing to the thread as I purchased one off a distributor and not DPG.
I just ordered the SAP AMC mag carriers. They are pretty popular and I bought them specifically for my RimX and AICS center fire mags.
got 2 of them and cannot sell them due to this bs
owner needs to make a public statement
will sell them this summer and never go back to them
does he want to buy my rifles or pay me out?
nonsense his silence, how anyone can support his operation now is beyond me
