Model 41 jamming on Norma ammo?
Anyone else having issues with Norma 22lr standard velocity ammo? My mod 41 (1980-81 vintage) usually eats anything and it fed t22, CCI sv, and Remington subsonic just fine but would not eject 3 out of 4 of the Norma ammo. Same ammo fed fine in my 15-22pc. They did seem a bit snug ejecting from a 617, but I've never had case swell on a 22 before. Any tips or just give up and find some CCI? Thx

The M41 is very Happy when it has the CCI SV ammo in it. Mine also fires Eley practice ammo, Wolf Orange and Black Box and Blazer on occasion not too bad. Most everything else it jams with as well. These guns have very tight tolerances and need good ammo but mostly the CCI SV. is best.

I'd feed it what it likes. My sixties era 41 functions fine with everything I've tried except Federal Auto Match. That stuff is jamtastic, and will be reserved for the Marlin 39.

Yep, I have a bit of CCI sv still, I'll save that for the 41. Norma seems easy to find but I'll leave that for the 15-22 and revolvers. Maybe the 10-22 will take it ok too, haven't tried that yet. Thx

Strange... I went back to the range with the 41 and wasn't thinking, the only standard velocity I had was Norma... It ate a box of 50 with zero issues. Excellent grouping too. Maybe it just needed a good cleaning? It started out clean last time but had sat for a while, maybe it was just sticky. ammo was from the same brick.
The 15-22pc was being fussy though, jammed on Norma and even some mini mags. Time for a better cleaning I guess.

model 41 jamming
Mine also has jamming problems when the chamber gets dirty usually after 75 -100 rounds . Two things that helped alot is putting a drop of oil on the top round in the mag and using the wolf lighter recoil spring when using standard velocity ammo.

My 1990's era model 41 seems to shoot nearly every .22 lr
that I can find. Never really had a problem, even with standard
velocity loadings. Of course I have at least 30,000 rounds through it
when of course .22 lr could be had for about $8 per 500 rounds, we
will probably never see those days again....

PSA usually has CCI SV in stock. I wait till the price drops down to $4.49 a box and usually buy two bricks. Plus their shipping is pretty cheap.
