So my LWRCI DI gun that I bought about 4 years ago started keyholing. It was about 3 in every 10 rounds fired. I’m running range safe (non-bimetal bullet) Tula steel cased and PPU brass cased Ammo. I noticed it while testing my POA/POI at 50 and 25 yards preping for my first 2 gun match.
A friend suggested I use Hoppes copper remover which I did according to the bottle (wet dry patches, brush, wet patch overnight, wet dry patches until clean, then oil/protectant). Well that got me down to about 1 in every 10 rounds keyholing.
I’m wondering if I should contact LWRCI and have them check the gun out to see if there is an issue that needs repairing. I can’t believe the barrel is “shot out” with such a low volume of rounds through it.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Also I noticed my gas rings on my bolt were loose (didn’t pass the supporting the BCG weight test but I’m not sure if that is a factor).
