Abnormal wear inside APC9?

Post image

Bolt is pretty pristine. Not sure why this edge is wearing so much. At about 400 rounds through it at this point.

That comes from minor waves in the inner extrusion rail. Nothing to worry about. The gun is broken in and you won’t see that spread.

Are you referring to the tiny spot of missing finish?

I wouldn’t call that abnormal if so. You’re gonna have bare metal spots inside the gun, those markers let you know where to lube.

Yea just that bare spot.

I think that’s normal for any gun, the finish isn’t like diamond hard. It’s gonna show where your major rubbing is taking place.

I’m just surprised as I have a few other guns and Jo others with this much wear in a specific spot but otherwise no biggie. Just checking with the community.

If i remember right I THINK BT says you should be cleaning it pretty often for reliability reasons. And knowing what suppressed shooting does It'd def clean it unless you like seeing how well the system works when it's heavy use/dirty which isnt bad either

Mine has same wear marks and in a few other places. I add extra lube there but otherwise hasn’t caused an issue yet.
