Can someone help me with my Striker.
Its an AS01, I've gotten it off a friend of mine as he didn't get on with it.
The thing feels like I'm dragging a small piano back as I have to use some serious elbow grease to pull the bolt back. I've tried silicon oil and greasing the gun which made no noticeable difference.
I've tried the stock spring and an M130 and found that the bolt pull is extremely tough.
Between him and Me we've both put less than 100 bbs through it.
I'm just not sure what needs to be replaced or done to correct this, I've also noticed the plastic "sleeve" that the bolt moves fore and back in also seems to slip back a little bit before moving forward. The Plastic sleeve surrounding the bolt looks a little bit gnarled up on the bottom near the pin from the sear.
After looking at the photos I'd love an opinion, can I get this working smoothly with some sanding, do I need to get a new bolt/upgraded bolt, replace the piston with an upgraded one or do I just throw my hands up and throw money at a different gun ?
