Getting it fixed i hope!!!
Its goin to the gun show sat....let someone else deal with it!!!
How much you want for it?
When you say it is jamming, are you getting failure to feed, failure to eject (stovepipes or ?)
Is the magazine getting loaded correctly? Have you looked at the position of the ejector and made the ejector mod?
What Mod
SW says theres been no recall or issues with the gun...as for loading the mags...I have loaded lots of mags ...always tap on my hand or bench to seat and align....Do not hold on to the mag or rest the mag on the bench when shooting....DONT know what more to do!!!

My sights are very sturdy and strong. Sorry to hear you got a bad one. Or perhaps it was damaged in shipping or something? Thankfully, S & W stands behind their work, and you can count on them to set this situation aright.
Didn't keep the sights on long enough to notice. Went to optics right away.

i dont think he's gonna give s&w a chance to fix it, i think he said he was going to sell it at a gun show this weekend..
I got my rifle back today. The guy at the counter had no idea what S&W fixed, and S&W didn't include any paperwork explaining what was fixed. However S&W threw in a free magazine for my troubles which is a $20 value. I think both of the magazines I have are brand new. When I got the rifle home I took it apart to see if I noticed any changes to the rifle. I removed the extractor bolt and noticed it had fowling on it. I don't know if this is the old extractor bolt or S&W put in a new one, test fired it, and didn't bother to clean it.
Tomorrow I will get a chance to fire it, hopefully it works properly. Gander Mountain didn't give me any restitution for my troubles, and they didn't even bother to clean the dust off of my rifle from shipping. I have to say I am disappointed in that store. Here are some photo's:

Good you got it back. Tomorrow is test day.
Notice any difference in the location position of the ejector?
Oh, and ask GM where is the other magazine. S&W specifically states in their shipping instructions to not send any magazines with the gun. So you got 2 new magazines, now where is the 3rd one?

Good idea to call GM.
You do know the location of the ejector, correct. Not the extractor, the ejector. Just want to make sure you are looking at the ejector.

Congrads on getting your gun back!!! Shop at Academy next time!!! If you have one...we have both, Academy and GM, i dont like GM either...there always priced higher and the people never seem that helpful to me.
I am probably mixing the two terms up. I call this piece the extractor bolt:
Am I right?
I will have to go to Academy's website to see if one is in the area. The only other sporting goods store I have visited is Cabela's and they overcharge for their firearms. For now on I will probably buy ammo and targets at Wal-Mart. When I am ready to accessories my rifle I might buy off the internet.

I don't think so.
I would like to ask you a question now.
What in the heck did you do to your bolt?
That thing looks all beat to holy shell.
When you get failure to eject or feed issues, do you just keep pulling back the charger handle and let the bolt slam forward on jammed rounds ..... repeatedly, .... or something?

Yeah, because he sent it to them in that condition. He did not say S&W did that to his bolt face.
He did say, S&W sent his gun back dirty, but to his credit, he made it clear that therefore he knew they had test fired it.
Imagine if S&W sent them back clean. Then some guys guys would say .... "They probably didn't even test fire it!" whine blubber slobber waaaah .... etc.

Yes, that is the extractor you are looking at on the left side of the bolt as you face the picture. That piece is what broke off my 15-22.
The ejector can be seen when you remove the bolt and look from the magazine well up into the gun. If this ejector gets out of alignment it can start the failure to properly eject. Then stove pipes.....
