Bolt wear from receiver

[Sauer_Kraut]

I noticed some binding or sticking from my the bolt. It appears the bolt is rubbing the (guide)? See attached pictures. Anybody else run into this problem?

Is it matching or a mismatched bolt?

Matching bolt, receiver, and flapper locks.

I have noticed some slight rubbing on a couple of the builds that I have done with a mismatched bolt but nothing that binds. If you shoot it do you have any failure for the bolt to close properly or bolt carrier to fully seat?

I could video a full cycle, but it's nothing crazy. Just something I noticed. The only failure I've noticed is the rare failure to feed. And that's only on one of the mags, so probs a weak spring.

In my experience this is a common feature of the G43 action.

But this is a 44 Walther, I'd expect high quality

Mine is an AC44 g block but the bolt does not look anything like yours, mine just has nice smooth wear marks on it.
Wonder if yours was shot at one time with sand or other abrasive stuff in the action?

Nope, it's for sure rubbing. I can put light pressure, pushing away, and the bolt will not touch anything. I think I should open it up and check springs.

Strictly my opinion but I am not shooting any of my G/K 43 rifles for fear of breakage / over powered and breaks parts too easily....

Try a light rub with a cloth of Mobil1 full synthetic 5W30 or 0W20 oil on it. Amazing stuff.
