Mauser "2-digit"?

alvin · 12-15-2013, 08:35 AM

I only shoot Serbian made PPU 7,63mm ammo. The gun is expensive, no reason to cut corner on shooting incorrect Tokarev to save a few cents per round. My ammo consumption is not huge anyway.

The gun works marginally. The first two shots worked, because the very small amount of residual oil in chamber. Later it failed due to chamber was dry -- the bolt could only extract the empty case out half way, or case extracted out but the bolt lost steam to go back further. So, I polished 10 rounds with a thin layer grease to guarantee the chamber being "wet" on every shot, and that worked.

I bet this type of issue is common on C&R, regardless of gun type. Quite a few videos on youtube.com showed people met similar issue -- hammer dropped, no bang, open the bolt manually, empty case dropped out. If they have no solution yet, then, lubricate the ammo may help
