You think it's the ammo???
+1, Bill.
If the problem goes away when you change ammo, don't use that ammo. I've had problems with Remington .22's myself.
Here's a refresher:
If it goes click and nothing happens, that's a
misfire. Wait a while, keeping the barrel pointed in a safe direction (in case it's really a hang fire). This could be the gun or the ammo. If a firing pin mark shows clearly on the primer or rim (not as clear as a fired case, but clearly), it's very likely the ammo. If the problem goes away when you change ammo…
The definition of a
hangfire is the momentary delay in ignition. If you hear the hammer fall, "click", then the report, "bang", you experienced a hangfire. The delay could be milliseconds or seconds, but it's noticeable. This is most likely an ammo problem and if it happened twice, I'd stop shooting that ammo and try something else. If the problem goes away when you change ammo…
If it goes "pop" instead of "bang" (like other cartridges from the same lot), that's a
squib. Stop shooting immediately , open and clear the action and inspect the bore for an obstruction. Firing a second shot with a bullet in the bore is a great way to destroy a barrel. If the problem goes away when you change ammo…
Now let's see pictures of that Model 41!
Remington will give you new ammo for the bad ammo
