Chances are if you had tightened the main spring down all the way....Put a drop of oil or 2 on the internals and taken a .22 bore brush to the range all would have ended well........

.22 Smiths have tight chambers and .22's case of today are made somewhat thinner brass and .22's are dirty.....A cylinder scrub every few cylinders usually eases extraction.....BTW I have a 4" 617....never had a problem adhering to the above..........
