Metal on metal works well if both faces are very smooth.


An unexpected benefit of the restoration of a Brno Mod 2 that I did was that the polishing of the bolt components eliminated the occasional misfires that it suffered from before. It's amazing how much energy gets freed up when metal to metal contact areas are flat and as smooth as possible.

Go to a Lock Smith buy some dry lube - try for the mix, not just the graphite type or buy some powder you use to recharge your neck size dry lube beads.  Polish up the bolt and apply it (Polish the bolt on a mechanical wheel using the dry lube as a polish agent  after all other steps).]]> General Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-discussion/smoothing-up-your-rimfire-bolt/#post-7430 Re: Smoothing up your rimfire bolt https://systemz.online/general-discussion/smoothing-up-your-rimfire-bolt/#post-7429 Sun, 11 Jan 2026 10:25:54 +0000 Metal on metal works well if both faces are very smooth.

My Krico .22LR has consistently given light strikes that do not set off the priming compound - this was especially true with Swartklip ammo. A remedy was to stretch the spring. I am now going to try and slick up the action. Any oil is not the answer as that becomes sticky over time and retards the firing pin. Metal on metal works well if both faces are very smooth.

Really the most pleasing of all rifles the lil .22. I
They funeee lil things .22 guns.

Go to a top tier .22 rimfire competition
Wait until you see a tricked out .. COMPETITION .22 rifle
Costs more than most top end centre fires
.22 Rimfire competition very popular now - due to costs
Cheaper ammo NO reloading .. :)

Had a pump action that liked to be held real tight, forcing the pump back or forwards (cant recall which) for best grouping.
