Browning Md 81 BLR

[Brian Wiley]

Good day all .I would like to test the knowledge of the board members again ,I seem to have good luck with that !
I have a Browning md 81 BLR in a .358 .I was shooting factory 200 gr winchester silver tips yesterday and on or about the 6tht shot I noticed that when I used full extension to open the action ,the action sticks trying to close it back and reload again,this is a used gun to me and I'm not sure of the use it had befor me .It will still cycle and close but definately has a sticky spot just as you go to close the action .I also have the same gun in a 308 and it doesn't have this problem ,actually this gun didn't either till yesterday .Thoughts and opinions greatly welcomed .

Thanks for your time: Brian

" Clean it ",Sorry I thought this was a gunsmithing forum.Anyway I got the problem fixed.

Hey Brian, I'm curious. What was the problem?

 

[gunasauras]

Probably dirty....and yes, clean it can be a gunsmith fix. Dirt can cause all kinds of problems, and you always try the simplest fixes first....specially when you have no idea what you are doing.....

I wasn't trying to insult you Brian. I own a BLR and have worked on more then a few of them, and when they have these type of problems, 99% of the time it's because they haven't been cleaned in a long time. Sorry if my terse reply offended you. - dan
