NEW From Zermatt Arms - RimX Actions

[chrome]

You’ve probably mentioned this already, but which ammo?

I had same failures across Center X, SK, and M22

May I ask what the previous barrel was/who made it?

Chrome, my bet is you had a tight chamber. When the case stuck was it difficult to extract by hand also? I played around with chamber size years ago with a different action but it was very drastic what a super small change made…

You may have mentioned it, but did you ever try to polish the chamber of the problem barrel?

My guess as well. I do not think the smith did anything new to the chamber when I sent it in to have it set back. At the time when I was having the malfunctions I didn't have the nifty .22lr tools to easily pop the rounds out of the chamber so I had to cleaning rod them out from the muzzle.

I did not try to polish anything myself on the problematic barrel

It was a bartlein CF barrel from a SH group buy a few years ago

I know what your problem was/is. But I'm not going to start anything.

Can you say what the problem was without implicating anyone? Just curious, but I understand why you may not want to say.

Let me just say that Chrome PM'd me and we seem to have agreed what the problem was.

Campers I could use some help getting my RimX bolt back together. I disassembled/cleaned/lubed/re-assembled the bolt and experienced a number of ignition failures after re-assembly; more failures with Eley than with SK Match which makes me think I screwed the firing pin bolt too far back?

PrimalRights YT Video references a divot on the fp rod that needs to be timed with the port housing two set screws. I do see a slight divot on the fp rod threads but I'm not sure if it's from the factory or from my prior re-assembly with the set screws. I'm having a difficult time seeing that divot through the port housing the two set screws.

Anyone have tips/tricks/guidance on a framework to ensure successful re-install of the fp rod/spring into the cocking piece?

This might be helpful.

Yes, there has been a significant amount of documentation and reporting over the last couple pages of this thread concerning the bolt fix. Everyone seems to be issue free with the current round of replacement bolts.

Amazing what happens when you switch back to 4140 steel.
