bolt sticks in barrel

[mcdseven]

i have a x valve and a new custom products .685 two piece barrel. when i fire the gun the bolt sticks in the barrel and will not return to fire again. i noticed on the bolt that it is slightly fatter at the end. can i shave this down like a normal bolt to make it fit in the barrel? i also have a custom products one piece barrel that is .685 and the bolt doesnt stick. I have used it for about a year. what are my options to get the bolt to work with the two piece barrel?

The bolt tip's measure .686"

Your barrel is .685"

That just doesn't work out...your best bet is to get a bigger barrel, rather than turning the tip of the bolt down.

Get some sand-paper or emery cloth and lightly sand the bolt down until it doesn't stick anymore.

If you do sand your bolt down, you'll get more blow-back if you ever back swtich to a larger barrel.

its not enough to worry about though......I use my CP .689 barrel all the time.......that would be .003" over the size of the bolt. that is with a no-rise body. if blowback was going to be a problem, it would be on that body.

you shouldn't need to sand much. I bet it is only like .0005 out.

What I did was sand a tid bit off of each. A little of the bolt and a little off the inside of the barrel. Works great for that small bore paint! And no problems with my other bigger barrels!
