It pretty much happens like this every single time.
1: shoot 22 shots offhand, insert ECI, then 22 sitting rapid
2: insert ECI and head to the pit
3: shoot 22 shots prone rapid then insert ECI and head to the 600 for 22 more shots
4: clear rifle and toss it in its case with bolt closed, and drive home after match is over.
Get home and and bolt is stuck closed. After a good pull on charging handle the BCG frees up and moves slick and effortlessly. If I let it cool with bolt open everything operates just fine.
At first I thought it was the lube, so I went from Lucas, to clp, then to mobile1, all with the same results.
BCG is a Toolcraft NiB, and barrel is from WOA. Nothing is binding or shows any excess wear. Maybe it’s nothing or maybe I’m overlooking something very obvious.
I’ve tried cleaning it after each match and I’ve gone 5 matches without touching it. All with the same results.
