Your very lucky it takes some hunters years before they find out about Tikka’s! I am a gun collector and have been collecting Sako’s for many years and saw on a form about how good the Tikka’s are and the rest is history! I have owned about 50 or so Tika’s and close to that in Sako’s and for the price they are one of if not the best and are my favorite if the truth be told! I have 7 guns in at the gunsmiths right now and only one is a Sako but finding good buys on Sako’s and Tikka’s is not as easy since so many know about them now!

    Thanks for the information, it's very helpful. Are you planning to make a video about how humidity affects the storage of weapons and ammunition? I recently experienced a "delayed" shot from ammo stored in wet conditions (1 year humidity 70%). Could high humidity be the cause of the problem?

  • @paramounttactical

    @paramounttactical

    Жыл бұрын

    That’s known as a hang fire. I mean… it could be humidity but it could have just been a bad round. Once assembled, modern ammunition is pretty weather proof. If it was a hand load it’s more likely the powder was stored in bad conditions before being assembled. Same could happen at an ammo manufacturer or they just got bad powder. Could also be a bad primer. Typically when that happens it’s due to really old ammo or really old powder. I don’t think storage conditions were the problem. Thanks for watching! -Gary

    @@KM-xo7py well you’re kind of jumping topics on me a little bit or maybe I focused on the wrong part of your question. I don’t think 70% humidity (which is relatively low and 65-70% is recommended as ideal for health in a home) caused a hang fire. You should store ammunition in a relatively climate controlled environment. Drastic swings in temp have an equally deleterious effect on ammo as moisture does. Do I think you need to store ammo in airtight container in the avg home? No. Are you storing your ammo in an outdoor shed or conex? Airtight container may help but the swings in temp aren’t good either. Store in a cool relatively dry place. 70% humidity is still relatively dry. 90% and you might have issues. My point was I don’t believe the conditions you described contributed to a hang fire. Especially if it was only one round out of a box/lot of ammo. Hope that clarifies. Thanks, Gary

    Because you don’t need any lubricants there and if you start getting grease on the cocking piece, you run the potential of slam fires. Bolt guns are not high friction operating mechanisms. They don’t need lubricants and lube causes more problems than it fixes. Really the only potential problem is galling at the bolt chamber interfaces, which is why we use grease at those points.

    @mrcbrrr7484 ok. 🤷‍♂️ I have gone 20+ years shooting bolt guns and have kept every part of the bolt degreased and dry except the bolt lugs. A lot of that time was operational overseas where we had rifles operating in adverse conditions and getting more rounds through them than 99% of all civilians would ever see. There have been certain rifles in certain conditions, typically due to coatings or poor machining that ran smoother with a bit of lube. Those were exceptions. Between that time in the military and my time as an instructor, I’ve had the opportunity to be exposed to a lot of different rifles and seeing those rifles operate in a lot of different conditions. I’ve seen dozens of times a student or client’s rifle that isn’t cycling properly that has lubricants inside and outside of the bolt where I pull it apart, degrease everything and reassemble and now it’s running perfectly. So that’s how I’ve always ran all of my rifles both personal and assigned, and that’s what I know works. I’m also aware that rifles all have their own characteristics and some will run better using unconventional methods. Ultimately, your rifle is your rifle. You do what you like and what works for you. Do your own testing. See if your rifle works better with the cocking assembly lubed or unlubed. All mine are completely degreased and I have student guns that the action has 5+ thousand cycles and they work perfect with zero signs of wear or run flawlessly. I have never seen an issue with a bolt gun and said, oh it’s because there wasn’t lube on the bolt or on some part of the firing pin and cocking assembly. Never. There’s just not enough friction and heat for it to be. You’re welcome to disagree and do what you want with your rifles. Thanks, Gary

    I use as little as lube as possible. I’m going for no lube if possible. If the conditions are such that my action is running smooth without lube, I don’t use any. All that said, I never lube my raceways. Just a very light coat on bolt. More lube = more dirt/carbon build up. If you’re shouting with other people and your action is lubed up and open, muzzle blast dirt will just stick inside your action. But, every rifle/action is different. Some require a fair amount of lube to run smoothly. The better the action, typically the less lube needed. Thanks for watching! -Gary

    Nothing wrong with that and i've used brake cleaner in the past quite a bit myself but it will damage the finish on some part and plastics. Been there and done that on several occasions. Never had that problem with Lucas.

    @@paramounttactical 😂 In all seriousness though, after cleaning just apply a bit of synthetic motor oil to a patch wipe down your bolt. Go over any hard to reach areas with an acid brush. Add a tiny bit of white lithium to the higher friction areas if needed and you're golden. I do this with all my firearms and they handle like butter. Never had any issues.

    @@andresmalo254 well you made a generalized statement that in many situations isn’t true. The point of adding lubrication is to reduce the friction coefficient which in turn reduces heat and wear. With a bolt gun that doesn’t have high friction to begin with and the moving parts aren’t operating in a closed system, adding lube in many circumstances will attract dust and debris and will cause a dramatic increase in the friction coefficient. As I discuss in this video, there are times and conditions adding the the right lube in the right circumstances may give added benefit to function. Generally speaking when I see students with bolt actions that are chattering or just aren’t cycling smoothly, the first thing I do is pull the bolt and hit it with a degreaser that removes all the lube they put on it and suddenly it works perfectly again. With the initial push into iraq, the first dust storm that we hit completely changed how we lube even full auto guns. We went from soaking them down to making sure the gun was clean, applying a light amount of lubricant and then wiping any and all excess off. So the point here is to assess the situation and the application of lubricants (how much, which kind, or using at all) is highly dependent on the weapon and the conditions in which they are operating.

    Dude, I constantly research, review, and test products and once I decide on what I like, I carry them in our store where I have to look people in the eye and say this is IMO the best for a particular application. We’re a Boretech dealer but there’s several products they have that you’ll never see on here or in my store bc theres better options. That goes with every brand we’re dealers for. How about ask a question instead of automatically challenging my integrity. That’s a POS move on your part. I’m not a KZreadr that just does paid reviews and throws up an affiliate link. We’re first and foremost a training company. We just happen to have a KZread channel bc we want to provide information backed by experience.

    Please explain to me what I’m not being transparent about? Do you know what I get the most emails about? “Which product for this? Best product AND process for this?” I do extensive research, tons of time and money wasted weeding out products, time on the range testing products so that I can give good recommendations to clients and viewers based on my over 20yrs if experience, most of which in Special Operations. If you didn’t get anything out of this or appreciate the 8hrs plus I put into shooting and editing this video… that’s on you. Thumbs down back at ya for being a complete douche. Shoot some videos, share your knowledge FOR ABSOLUTELY FREE… you’ll too experience the joys of ungrateful, ignorant assholes that if they don’t like the content, they can’t bring themselves to just move to another video. Oh no… they have to let you know that you are some sinister person with some wildly ulterior motive and question your integrity before they’ve move along, even though all you’re doing is trying to contribute to the community and share your experience and knowledge and MAYBE, just MAYBE eek out a living and feed your family while doing it. You should try it. It’s fun. Please, do not subscribe, do not like, do not watch my videos. You’re not Paramount Family material. Sincerely, Gary Melton

    A bolt action will not 'slam fire'. 870 shotguns, SKS and AR15 rifles can due to a free floating firing pin. The bolt rifle won't just go off because the there is a massive amount of oil. People should not give gun advice if they aren't educated in gunsmithing.
