i dont have one, but do know that they apparently can absorb oil, making them swell. im pretty sure u'll be fine without oiling it, but i dnno what users do.
delrin bolts do not need oiled. if however it is of the type that still has o rings (belts & braces) then these i spose should be kept supple in the norml mannerOriginally posted by lavenm
I have just got the Delrin bolt for my evo cocker but i have heard
conflicting stories as it should be run dry or oiled as normal.
How do you guys run yours
they don't need oiling, but unless the bolt is plastic it can't possibly swell, as metal is non-porous!!!
most dont need oiling unless you have o-rings
most dont need oiling unless you have o-rings
last time i checked DELRIN was plastic mate
right.
theres 2 types of delrin bolt out there, some have no o-rings, some have the groves so can be used with or without o-rings.
o-ringless = no need to oil, BUT as the bore size varies slightly from batch to batch of cocker bodies, unless its a near enouph perfect fit you will get gas blowing up the feed tube, which as we all know will not help you paint feed
o-ringed = YES you will need to oil the bolt as smartecosse says to help keep rings supple and not causeing major bolt stick. good thing about these type is u can test without rings or with, having the groves there wont make any difference other than giving you the option
as for the swelling, alot of people are thinking of how the old nylon bolts used to swell ( and the did swell like a b*tch
)delrin dosnt seem to swell, or swell enouph to be measured.
have a look here for more on this .link
