Not sure if this is the correct thread to post, but as the title says I have a Yugo m48 which has a very stiff bolt when opening and closing.
I have tried applying lubricant, in this case a very light layer of grease, to any surface which mates with another and have still been having issues. Interestingly when the safety lever is engaged the bolt will cycle very smoothly, which makes me think the threads between the bolt and bolt sleeve are binding when under pressure from the spring, but I'm not positive.
Anyone have some suggestions on possible cause and fixes for this issue?
