| Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance Guns are mechanical tools that require routine cleaning and maintenance to remain dependable. This is especially true for defensive weapons that must work as expected when you need them the most. This forum will cover these important areas and encourage you to ask questions before taking on an unfamiliar task. |

About hitting the bolt, I definitely hit a flat metal piece that was about half an inch square (more rectangle I guess) with curved edges. It sat at the top rear of the chamber/magazine area. It was a pretty solid whack, but not as hard as it would be moving when the gun is being fired. The bolt was locked back at the time. Should I be concerned? The action seemed to work ok after I did that. The bolt slide worked ok and 2 of the 4 dry fires were after that. One after I oiled the slide, and then one just before I put it away because I discovered I hadn't wiped away the oil good, did so, and in doing so recocked it. I have a box of 22 LR. I may take it to the range soon. Cliff |

when ever i clean any of my guns weather it be my paintball gun or my hand guns i look down the barrel now i normally take it out or look at it so it is not pointing at me that is the only way to really tell. but as one of the other guys have said that if this is not possible just make sure there is no rounds in it.

Take it down clean it , shoot it, enjoy it and repeat
I have a handgun that my dad gave me when I was a kid for my birthday that was made in 1960 Colt Python the yr before I was born that I regularly shot with no concerns, for the last 30+ yrs and other than my family is my single most precious possession because of all of the memories that it brings now that my father has passed..I wish I would have kept the single shot 22 he gave me in 2nd grade They are still selling WWI Mausers at my local gun show Yours is just a newborn relatively speaking |
