| heres, it will load a new unfired round and close the bolt with no problem but the same thing happens again after the next round is fired. After this pain in the neck happens the chamber is cleaned with a new military chamber brush and you are good to rock and roll for a whopping 20-40 rounds if your lucky. Can someone please wave their magic wand over my bushy!!!! |

Bushmaster chambers their barrels on the tighter side to promote accuracy. Until you get at least 1K of brass case rounds through the rifle to self polish/loosen the chamber through live fire, don't even attempt to run coated ammo in the rifle. If/when you get to that point and want to retry the coated ammo, run the upper bearing area, including the buffer and spring, on the wetter lubed side with CLP. Also, you are going to find that you will need to relube around the 300 round marks as well to help combat the powderized fouling from the bullet being scrapped in/out of the chamber to keep the rifle running for the most part. Don't get me wrong, you still going to need a chamber brush since you will stick a case now and again even then (just not as often as now). P.S. Welcome to the site!!! |
| I have had this happen when I shot a lot of rounds of wolf and followed up with a round of M193. The M193 case gets stuck in the chamber when fired, and has to be tapped out with a cleaning rod. The entire side of the brass case had carbon caked to it. Stick to all wolf or all brass, but mixing them is a bad thing. |
| All of the previous advice is correct. My Bushy will cycle through just about any 'brass' cased ammo, but when I load a magazine with Wolf, I experience the exact problem that you describe. I have tried all of the tricks in an effort to take advantage of the cheaper Wolf ammo, but nothing worked. I have decided that if I want a single shot rifle I will buy an old Sharp-50. When I go to the range I want to have fun--I do not want to struggle with stuck rounds and FTF issues. |
