My friend has an older but in fabulous shape Bar in 30-06.The only trouble is it doesnt want to cycle reliably.I obtained diassembly instructions and gave it a good cleaning,which seemed to help, but not 100%.What next?It usually has a stovepipe.(fails to completely eject fired round)Anyone have any advise to offer? ****************************************************************** SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM *********** | ||

Is that with factory loads ? What bullet weights ? Do extractor and ejector look OK ? | |||

Factory federal 180 gr loads.Extractor and ejector look like new.Of course,I dont have anything to compare them to. ****************************************************************** SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM *********** | |||

How about the magazines. Check the feed lips. Rich | |||

Assuming the ammo is full strength, the action spring guide is lubed and the extractor and ejector are good to go, I would next focus my attention on the gas port. Pull the piston and check to make sure it isn't plugged. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

If it is not cycling back far enough to catch the next round, I second the advice of checking the gas port. If it is picking up the next round, check your ejector spring. | |||

Yes check the gas port, then there is an update for the action spring. Next check to make sure nothing is rubbing on the forend wood. Extreme Custom Gunsmithing LLC, ecg@wheatstate.com | |||

Be sure to remove the piston from the gas block and clean it. I've seen them so gummed up that I've had to drive them out with a punch. Once cleaned, the problem went away. Also check the vent hole in the gas regulator, it's the hex head screw on the muzzle end of the gas block. You have to remove it to take the piston out. Mark Pursell | |||

I have had the gun completetly apart as far as taking the bolt out to clean the inside of the reciever. And the gas block was very hard to remove.It went back in much easier.Hopefully,it will work fine now. mad-jack02 "then there is an update for the action spring." can you explain this further? ****************************************************************** SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM *********** | |||
