1322 bolt sticking

[Raden1942]

Hey guys. Last year I build a heavily modified 1322. It has the stronger hammer spring and flat top piston and all that stuff. Anyway I used divers grease to lube the bolt but it's not working well. It's sticking hard and basically unusable. I'm going to open up the gun and sand everything smooth again but I'm wondering if there is a better lube to use that still is safe for orings. Thanks guys.

Quite often the arm will get slightly bent and will need to be turned the right direction to alleviate binding. Divers grease is not the best for metal parts. Just regular or lithium grease would werq better. The only o-ring near there is on the bolt and it is easy to replace. I usually unscrew the bolt handle and put a drop of blue locktight on the threads screw it back in to where it does not bind and let it set up overnight.

Oh so lithium doesn't hurt the oring too much? I thought it broke them down pretty fast. I can buy extras it's not a big deal I just thought once grease got on there a couple days later you got pudding for rings.

Try loosening the rear steel breech screw see if that helps. If so file the threads shorter. Could be protruding rubbing hammer spring prohibiting the spring from compressing smoothly.

Could be an after market hammer not a good fit if it's not OEM or installed upside down (hahahaa).

If those don't do it then try unscrewing the cocking handle a little. If that works then file the threads shorter. Could also be a bent handle and or probe if you tried to force it too much.

Could be the hammer spring is kinked or messed up. Try putting back the OEM factory spring then you will know if it was a bad spring.

I wouldn't use silicone to lube. FP10 or even WD40 would work better.

If my memory is not too far off, I believe hajimoto uses graphite powder.

Haven't noticed any issues so far
