| Hi, I just bought my first AR15, a Del-ton Rifle kit. Its brand new, only 50 rounds through it. I went to clean it and the cam pin would barely turn. I had to put a pair of pliers around it to turn it enough to pull it out. Yes, I did take the firing pin out first lol. My question is, has anyone else had this tight of a bolt? My only other experience with AR's/M4's was my uncles DPMS carbine as well as the National Guards' rifles in Camp Ripley. When my uncles DPMS was brand new I could flick the BCG and the bolt would extend no problem. This is definitely not the case with my rifle. Will just firing the rifle more and cleaning of course help, or should I call Del-ton? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
| Curious how this works out for you. I have a Del-Ton mid length, factory built. I got it a few years ago but I have had absolutely zero problems with it. Not one malfunction in at least a couple thousand rounds of various ammo. I love it. I sure hope their quality control is not going down. |

For me it could be the nickle boron coating is too much and the so rings are creating too much friction causing a jam. In your case you could try another completed BCG and see what happens. Impala |
| well I Just Got OfF The Phone With Delton And They Said It Was Normal To Be That tight But Would Loosen Up The More I Shoot It.. I've Had One MisFeed, First Round I Actually Put In The Chamber. My Guess Is The Round Was a Little OfF In The Mag. But Other Than That It Functioned FinE So We'll See. By The Way Sorry For All The Caps. I Guess The Forum Doesn't Like My Phone Too Much. |
