Picked up a new WASR-10 at the gun show this weekend. It had a rough bolt, but I've read that's common. I dismantled it and cleaned out all of the cosmoline and have reassembled and lubed it. However, the bolt hangs like crazy and will not close without assistance. It stops about an inch before closing completely. A good shove on the handle will close it.
-I am not riding the handle. I pull it back and let it fly.
-I have oiled the rails, bolt, bolt carrier, back of the hammer, gas piston, recoil spring, and gas tube. Depending on the spot, I used Hoppe's Oil, Breakfree, or aerosol Lithium Grease swabbed with a Q-Tip.
-The gas block is not canted.
-I have manually cycled the action, with and without the recoil spring in place a good 4-5 dozen times. It doesn't feel any smoother.
-It has a G2 trigger group installed by Century.
-It hangs EVERY time I pull the bolt back.
-It looks like it might be hitting the dust cover, but it still does it with the dust cover off.
Thoughts? I don't want to go to the range with a jam-o-matic. Thanks in advance!
