    Weird level 10 problem still

    I posted a while back under a practically same title about how my mag shot beautifully a couple of games then I cleaned the bold really good and oiled lightly and left it alone for about a week or two. Then next game I oiled like usual through the ASA and then had nothing but bolt stick and such that I rectified by using the silver spring (red was original one) to let the bolt reset harder which kind of fixed it with some periodic sticking that required degas/regas occassionaly.

    A few suggestions were to try and get a 2.0 carrier and try retuning with the bigger carrier or swap out the bolt oring and retune again.

    Well through my laziness slightly and lack of time to order more orings and money, I kind of let it slide. In between this past weekend and the problems before, I used the mag once to show my gf and grandpa how it shot and I pretty much covered to bolt stem in oil and simulated firing it a few times to work the oil around as I was only going to put about 40 rounds through it and figured the heavy oil would stop bolt stick for that short time.

    I left it like that after for about a month until this past saturday. I oiled it up by ASA like usual and started to dryfire it to get the excess out and discovered that it magically no longer stuck. I didnt even have to touch the velocity as it was perfect like last time. Any idea on why I was having so much bolt stick before but now it magically fired beautifully all day with no hiccups at all? Did the colder 55 degree weather have something to do compared to last time where it was probably 80's or the heavy oiling just sitting there do something?

    Any input is appreciated as it drives me up a wall when it does this and according to what I've read and understood it should otherwise work flawlessly. Thanks!

        Not first time I've put lots of oil in to fix it, though when the problem happened it start up again as soon as the excess oil thinned out from use.

        I dont think it was the thumb screw as I keep it pretty much the same everytime and I remembered the problems about it being too tight.

          Unfortunately Im pretty sure the level 10 is affected by temperature extremes, a good coat of oil on the moving parts will help mitigate this.
