I have a question to the CZ45x owners.
Took my 455 American to shoot the other day while it was cold. It had less than 50% light to no primer strikes. The ammo fired fine in a pistol. I was thinking the pin was held up by too much lube and it being cold (45 deg) was exacerbating the condition. Last time it was used the temp was 80 deg or so with no issues.
Today, I had a chance to take the bolt apart for a cleaning. The pin had a bit more lube on it than 'normal' but not a lot, cleaned it anyways. Upon assembly I noticed while sliding the pin into the bolt the pin was binding the last 1/8". Not bad but enough so it would seem to be a problem. After another solvent cleaning, with pipe cleaners, brushes, same deal. There is no wear on any section of the pin indicating binding, no burrs. The bolt has never been dropped.
Is this 'normal' for a CZ bolt/pin movement??
