8 Shot M1 Super 90 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I cleaned my M1 after opening day of duck season a few days ago and decided to pull the bolt assembly apart. After wiping off and spraying in a fairly generous amount of remoil I re-assembled it and now with the bolt in the captured open position it sounds like the inertia spring is rattling. I pulled it apart and double checked myself and according to the pictures in my owners manual i have everything installed correctly. I just dont remember this sound from before, and ive had the gun since it was new almost 10 years ago, so I dont remember if it was like that when it was new. Any ideas? Could it be the fact that the gunk is gone out of it allowing it to make a little more noise than usual? This is the first time its ever been pulled apart.

Rob72 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Normal, it doesn't need much lube & it comes with more than necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom the same thing happened to me this year after 15 years of faithful service. i too never noticed the sound then when i decided to take the bolt apart and thoroughly clean the clinking sound started. i checked here and found the same thing you found...normal. but for the life of me in never heard that clinking even when new.
