I just received one of those captured Nazi K98's, the one with all the markings ground off of it. It's in pretty good shape, well, after I got all the cosmoline off of it. Anyway, I cleaned it good like 5 times and then went to the range. The first 15 rounds went without a hitch. Then after the gun heated up a little, the bolt started to stick...
I was shooting some mil surp Turkish ammo, and if I let the rifle cool a while it didn't do it for about 10 rounds. I was sighting in my 22-250 and would let the K98 sit for 20-30 minutes at a time. So here's my question, did I not get all the cosmoline out or is there something wrong with the bolt? The guy I got the gun from is a gunsmith and he just shrugged his shoulder's like he had never heard of such a situation. But one of my shooting buddy's that has a K98 said his did the same thing until he shot and cleaned all the cosmoline out... What do Ya'll think???
