RE: my gun missfired
 

Halcon- they were not reloads they are factory, i havent had a chance to try them in a different gun, someone i know suggested bad primers as well.

since i posted my problem i have taken the bolt apart and used brake clean to clean all the part, i oiled the firing pin and wiped all the excess off, and put one drop of oil on the back of the bolt where the moving parts/saftey is, unfortunatly is hasnt been cold here now to try it out. allthough i believe it wasnt bad primers because on the primers there was a slight indent by the pin compared to the ones that fired.

Thanks for all your guys help and suggestions, i appreciate it alot.

I strip my bolt apart degrease everything and apply dry graghite.
But I live inthe interior of British Columbia, Can. and we get extreme weather conditins.Hot very hot in summer and cold winters.
If you ask me too much grease in that bolt shouldn"t have misfired
that cartridge in that temp.Very few people here "winterize" their guns.Hunters up here hunt in -20to -40 and and I've never heard of anyone complaining of that problem(execpt in one magazine article I read
and I just think he wanted something new to talk about.
I'm not saying this this is the case with yours, too much grease could have very possibly caused the gun to misfire but more than likely I think it was probably something else.
Good luck

i live in the interior of BC as well, prince george in fact, and two weeks ago is when i had this happen, it was -15 out, so if you are saying that the grease is not the problem, then what is, the only other thing it can be is the primers but like i said there was a slight indent on the primers, and i dont know how much of a hit they need to fire. the gun is brand new, the guy i bought it from bought it off the shelf and shot 8 shots total from it and then never used it again, so it looks like i just bought it off the shelf too. the spring has to be good.
