problem with feeding and extracting

[Mr.bonkers]

having this issue sometimes when I send the bolt forward, will also occasionally happen on extraction. 

Is this a cleaning issue? I clean everytime I go to the range but have never taken it apart and done a deep clean. Thanks

I had this problem pretty often with my sbe3 a couple years ago. A wise friend told me taking the hardware apart fully and soaking in gasoline would possibly help this issue, then to wipe down, and re oil after all gasoline is off. Worked well for me, but to each their own. Hope this may help.

I would very strongly advise against the use of gasoline as a solvent for gun cleaning purposes. There are other solvents available that are not nearly as hazardous to one's health (fire, inhalation), e.g. something made specifically for gun cleaning purposes such as Gun Scrubber.

secret of the pros I guess.

For those on a budget looking for an economical homebrew gun cleaning solvent do a search for the recipe for Ed's Red.
