04 bko- walk on

[collier-666]

just bought a bko from bobs and im gonna be using it this sunday at the walk on.my question is,do i use lubricant before i use it or will the manufacturer have already done it? also,what lube to use? cheers boys

If you know how to lube it then theres no harm in checking? If its there fine, if not do it. I'd recomend spart parts shocker lube. I use dow 33 on my bolt and regs and 55 on my Ram (i have a timmy btw, dont know bout internals of a bko). Its the ONLY thing id EVER use by smart parts. Whatever you use, just be sure what u use is the right kind other wise it'll eat your o-rings and cause more probs than it solves.

Collier, meol' chum, No. It won't need any lubing just yet. The bolt is self lubricating & the hammer runs in a grease bath.


That'd be all the moving parts then. !!!;)

Most bolts all claim to be self lubricating, but how many of them have 3 o-rings on them? can u say DDDRRRRAAAAAAAGGGG. Not sure if its a point here, but in general is something that really gets my goat :D

[robtattoo]

Nope, it's not a point here.
The BKO has NO 'o'rings on the bolt what with it being Delrin and all. That'd be a bit pointless now, wouldn't it.

Delrin is a silicon impregnated plastic polymer, that releases tiny amounts of silicon when it moves. ie:- self lubricating.

i pm'd you earlyer in week about my gun,dont know if you got it or not?is the hammer where i drop the the pin through the bolt.behind it,so my bolt doesnt move freely? the technical side of pb is rackin my tiny brain,i should have gone to skool instead on bunkin in the park.dont forget,you said you would sort my gun out ready to use at the walk.im setting off at 7:30 so shoud be there for 8:30.if i can get that lazy tw@%s arse out of bed. how much is paint on the day?foxy hasnt got his yet. sorry about the essay. P.S luv your gun (s)

Yeah thats the point i was making, it is stupid, but timmy's and e-blades all have delrin bolts, and they all have 2/3 o-rings on them :S go figure...

It's to make sure the bolt is properly sealing the breech. Delrin bolts with o-rings still need to be lubed, but they are still lighter (thus tend to cycle faster) than steel / alu bolts.
