So I purchased an xvalve a while back and it always had corky moments and such. More so with bolt stick. When I'd play games and not shoot heavy or not shoot in high bursts or RT mode there wasn't a problem. But when I'd really open then thing up after several shots it would get bolt stick and almost seem like it'd have to "cool down" before it would work again...
And I'd always lube the bolt well and the internals.
So what I've concluded after getting another xvalve w/lvl 10 is that my bolt (the old one) made a metal on metal sounds against the inside of the bolt and outside of the powertube. And I've concluded that as i'm shooting the metal heats up and expands ever so slightly and causes additional friction. The bolt always has a metal on metal sounds no matter what and after i shoot it alot and it gets bolt stick the bolt is even more resistant to moving. To the best of my knowledge the lvl 10 is tuned right. If i go one carrier bigger it leaks and the orings are good...
Has anyone ever had this issue and if so any clues on how to fix it? I've tried alot of lubricants on the bolt to try to not have to happen but it always happens. And i don't wana buy a new bolt if its an easy fix, which i don't think it'll be. I think the inner diameter of the bolt needs to have just a bit more clearance, but I open to suggestions...
Thanks,
