Grey stuff on my bolt ???

[fatale chick]

I was just wondering if it is normal for my bolt to have like a grey grease on it...it's like not even grease really I don't even know how to explain it, my bolt is like a dark grey and for most part it will wipe off and so far has not caused me any problems.

i have a white bolt.
it was completely white when it was new out of the box.
but after playing there are blue lines on it.

it's just old grease and stuff from the bolt moving.

Most likely.

It's not uncommon for this to happen if you oil the bolt, and one of the reasons why you shouldn't oil the bolt (other than the fact that it isn't really necessary to do so). Any particles of the delrin worn off the bolt will mix with any oil to form a paste, which is most likely what you are seeing happening.

DOW 33 also turns grey when it ages.

I would say you are right for the most part right uziel gal cause I do use the shocker lube which I do believe is dow 33....but I know not to lube my bolt. Would you still say that is common even though I don't lube my bolt ??

Probably just means that a little lube is getting on to the bolt from elsewhere in the marker. From the ram shaft, to the valve, to the bolt for instance. Just wipe it off each time you remove the bolt and it shouldn't cause any problems.

Thank you for taking your time to answer my question, I appreciate it :)

mine does the same thing. I have never lubed my bolt, because it is derlin, and derlin will slightly expand if it gets wet. I just wipe it off and it is fine. :tup:
