Yeah, that's all well and good. But these guns seem to pretty much eat anything they are fed. Now it certainly is possible that you got a bad batch of Golden's, but I would be on the edge of it going back to S&W or dumping itand getting another if this continues. I have shot a couple thousand rounds through my first 15/22 and I haven't had a total of 15 FTF and never any stovepiping.... Shot at least 10 different brands and they all run beautifully. Accuracy is a different story, but they all go bang and cycle.
