What would make a bolt “sticky”. Seems like it started after it got left out in snow /sleet at a match.
Have cleaned and recleabed. Tried oil grease hornady one shot etc. Doesn’t look like the bolt stop is mushroomed.

Bought a second atx used. One serial number away from being consecutive. Much much much smoother. First one has a pile of rounds through it so don’t think it’s about being broken in.

Thoughts ?

Something (brass shaving, etc) stuck in the lugs of the locking ring?
Got a borescope to look?

Have you swapped the sticky bolt into the second rifle to confirm it's the bolt itself, and not the action or locking ring of the first rifle?

Is it sticky with the firing pin assembly removed?

What does sticky mean? Is it dragging when you cycle it?

Yes feels “gummy” sliding it back and forth.

I’ve been cleaning with gun scrubber before trying various oils or dry Maybe I need to use something different

Hit the action and bolt with brake cleaner and then relube and see

Try acetone. Might have some paint residue in there.

@BurtG just got off the phone. AI sez to not store your Bazooka or Hubba Bubba in your chamber

Chiclets are ok, however.

Probably something else

Clean your chamber properly. Description says 6,5 creedmoor only though

I have had this happen

Clean the inside of the action and the chamber with a carbon remover. Go through the magwell and use a soft cloth. I use a 410 shotgun mop for the chamber. It will remove a ton of carbon.

I then clean and dry the bolt with carbon cleaner and use a good grease on the rear of each of the 6 lugs. Put a light film of grease in the grooves of the bolt body. Finally I put a thin film of grease on the bottom area of the shroud housing that slides across the rear of the action.

Grease not oil. Will run like new.

Am I the only one who wet patches molybdenum in his barrel & firing chamber so he doesn't have to carbon scrub?

I hope so. Man the moly fad ended like 15 years ago. I didn’t know you could even buy it anymore.

I'm quite the fan of it, as someone who uses it in his sports cars as well. I don't see it as a fad. And I've had positive results with it.

Oil analysis and science says otherwise. If it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid.

I would say the new to me one is like KY or Wet

And the ok’d o s is like no lube no fore play no nothing

I would bet the carbon build up somewhere is what causes it. Moisture causes that blue/green crap to build especially when shooting suppressed in high humidity and temp swings.

Assuming it’s doing this with no round in it? Just the travel of the bolt?

My next guess would be the mag if it’s in the rifle

I guess AI didn’t develop the AI that bombproof

Burt managed to break it

I think that deserves an award right there

PVA is doing one rn. Not as good as their bf sale was, but the ospreys Ive had are pretty nice barrels.

 

[SpeedDrop]

Hey all,

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for custom made barrels for the post-2014 AI AXMC? I have a long action currently with a 6.5CM barrel, but was looking at the possibility of a 6.5 x 47 or 25 x 47 Lapua barrel if those are possible.

Thanks.

Did you shave down the reptilia diving board to fit the GII razor objective bell?

Unfortunately, that's me bombing that (and most of) the stages.

Yes I took the dremel to the underside of the diving board. It was a learning experience as my first dremel project but it works

Made a first round impact at 1000yds but I knew better than to try and follow it up.

Amazing rifle, where did you get that very nice barrel decal ?

 

[DDGKunia]

Hey guys has anyone found axsr kadex mag holders? Looks like there was a company making them but just make soft ones now

 

[austino775]

Happy 4th people.

 

[BurtG]

The rust is. Thick. $75 308 barrel was doing well till the 5th shot.

My AXSR’s participation trophy for taking second at a pistol match. And by participation, I mean participating in being home during the UPS delivery guy’s visit after getting home from the match. Time to see what all the hubbub is about.

Didn’t you just “upgrade” from NF ATACR to a ZCO like a month or two ago?

I’m in my sleep around phase right now…have to pick a partner before I bust out the rattle cans in December.

Anything against the ZCO, or you just wanted to compare?

Nothing against it. Was trying to sell it to buy and try the SB636 with the TR2ID, but a guy on here offered this as a 1:1 trade so I said sure.

Just bouncing around scopes before picking one to live on the AXSR before I paint it.
