Update. I tore down the action, and the barrel has bevel cuts for 2 weirdly placed grub screws that set the barrel into the action. One of the screws had backed out a bit, so I noticed the barrel had maybe a millimeter walk forward. I torqued it to 40 inlb and it sucked in the barrel, so i added some locktite and retorqued to 40.
Took it to the range, and ignition improved, but I still had a few fail to fire. I tried the sk ammo in a old CIL semi and it ran perfect in that. So the xocet still has maybe either bad headspace or weak firing pin spring strength. The bolt handle sleeve is where it locks up on which is the headspace I assume and that is made of cast metal and is now a mess from the hardened steel firing pin dragging on it.
On top of that, the xocet's extractor is not working poorly. The Sk ammo has that wax on it and the cases don't extract well. It may be damaged, but I doubt I have 1k rounds on this.
I guess I'm in the market for replacement firing pin springs for an xocet and mk2 as well as a replacement bolt nob sleeve and extractor and probably extractor spring. Super. I don't recall where I got the xocet. Anyone know who deals with the warranty on these?
The xocet is shooting 1inch groups at 50M though. Just wish these parts failures were less problematic.
I'd post pictures, but... reasons.
