    Yes I had lubriplate on everything. My 116 is about 3-4 years old. The easiest way to tell if it's the axis bolt is to cycle it and look in the BAS. If you see the firing pin in the allen hole, it's the newer style. I'll be going to lowes with caliper in hand to get some different washers to play with. The washer I used in the above test was actually a lock washer. I put it in a vice and heated it up until it was cherry red and let it cool, turning it into a washer. Was the closest thing I could find in my spare bin.
