I think it is asking you if your bolt is getting scratched up. After so many shots the stock bolt looks like it has "hair" from the strands of delrin. So like an oil-reminder it probably came up after a few thousand shots.

No positive of this but it seems the most likely thing.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

...you´re right! it reminds the owner to have a look at the bolt.

but i don´t think the first post is meant to be serious... ;)

What exactly are you looking for? My bolt looks scratched, but other then that it works fine...

[Gernot]

...you look exactly for those scratches (and maybe a few other rarely problems)

...if you often play in "sandy-conditions" you´re getting very deep scratches in your bolt. the result is that the bolt doesnt glide through your breech like a new one. so have a look! :)

I had quite a few grooves on my bolt after the first couple of times playing. I just ended up sanding it down a little with some 1000 grit.

[Gernot]

thats ok, but you can´t do it very often. every time you sand you sand the grooves down you took a little bit material off the bolt too. the results could be bad efficiency etc. or bolt-sticks instead of a "simple chop"...

PS: after doing that check if your bolts fits tight but glide easily through your breech...
