New Tikka T3X .270 Bolt Noise

[Hunter270Win]

Hey everyone I just got a new T3X and have cleaned it (not shot it yet) and it’s making a weird almost like an empty spray bottle noise when I close the bolt. I’ve posted a link below. Anyone else have this?

Try a little lube on the back of the bolt lugs.

Tried that, sound still persists.

Look at the groves the lugs lock into. Rough machining chatter maybe?

Jesus hates you because you’re a 270 guy. Only explanation I can muster.

Can you tell if the noise is coming from the back near the shroud? If so the firing pin may need lube where it passes through the guide bushing that holds the handle in place. Remove the shroud and place a drop of oil on the firing pin in between the cocking piece and the bushing in the bolt.

Grease the cocking cam while you’re at it.

Could it be coming from the firing pin or spring inside the bolt? Or the cocking piece? Take the bolt apart.

Just took it apart and greased both areas, still makes the spray bottle sound.

With a light oil, oil the pin and bushing, grease won’t penetrate down in between the pin and bushing.

I should have said that I used Rem Oil to do down in there my bad
