Stroker and blazer problems.

Okie dokie.

I am just getting around to using a stroker that I had (PPS) rebuild last year. I have fired it a little in the back yard to the tune of about 100-150 rounds. Now after having it sit for a few months the gun wont cycle quickly at all, I am acheiving about 1-.75 rounds per second. So basically sometimes I cant even get one round a second. If I crack open the grip frame I can push the belcrank forward and the bolt snaps back shut. Is this a case where I need to dump some oil into the ASA?

Onto the BZ.

The BZ has worked flawlessly that is until last weekend. The blazer was skipping shots even if the trigger was pulled slowly. The gun would still cycle but not fire.

Thank you for your time.
Ben

Stroker sounds like a lubrication or maybe contamination/bad o-ring issue with the 3 way. Does the trigger pull normally, and it seems to just take a long time for the ram to cycle back and forth?

Yep the trigger pull is just fine. its the lack of belcrank return that puzzles me. I wanted to dope it up with oil but I know sometimes the strokers can be finicky and wanted to ask before I tried the oil bath.

Pull the bolt out and run oil in the ASA.. All of the oil will stay in the pneumatics and keep the barrel dry. I would say about 10 drops should do it.


Check for a pinched line. They can collapse on tight bends after sitting for a while.



Pull the barrel off of the Blazer.... If its a 2k Blazer you can rotate the Master link to disconnect the hammer.


PPS guns love oil. Synthetic oil is less likely to gum up.

Alrighty guys, I got them both working very well now. They both just needed oil apparently. I am a little ashamed to admit to that.

What was that quote from Glenn a few years ago? "Dry as a popcorn fart"?
