    Another Bolt Lift Thread !!


    Did an experiment at the range yesterday. With a totally clean as
    a whistle bolt, I took a cotton swab and a small tin of Imperial
    sizing wax, and did a light touch up of every rub area I could find.
    I put the bolt in, and as I was cycling, did the touch up treatment
    to the rear cam that's exposed. Cycled it about ten times then went
    to shooting. Normally I use Dry-Slide, but just wanted to try something
    different.....Using a known load that can cause harder bolt lift, I had
    "NADA". Bolt ran like a dream. Not sure how long the treatment will last
    but I guess you'll know when it does. Just another option fellas.....

    The caveat with lubricating internal bolt parts has always been when the solvents evaporate they leave behind a gunk that slows the movement of the firing pin. ISW doesn't have a solvent to evaporate that I am aware of. Interesting choice of lubricants and I am following the success of this.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    And like the top of the tin say....(Use sparingly) And It was just a light
    touch I used. You have to be cautious about any excess around the bolt
    head. Just kiss it. Too much, and as the rifle gets warm, it's going to flow
    south.
