It's a fun cheap rifle to spray lead with cheap ammo. Why would you want to have a fun cheap rifle to spray lead with expensive ammo? If you want to shoot 22 WMR or 17 HMR, get a rifle it deserves like a CZ 455.

CZ for accuracy at reasonable cost.

Keeping that rifle, with you now knowing it can fire more than one round with a single trigger pull, puts you in all kinds of legal, liability issues, not to mention, that something is very very wrong and could lead to darn near anything...like firing on a bump. It should be assumed to be...

I would not use non-acetone nail polish remover either. It may not have acetone, but it has something else that will equally well dissolve nail polish, and plastic. I have a damaged vinyl chair that proves it.

All it takes is a half hour and 600 grit emery paper. Finish with some rouge.

Your firing pin may be the longer style. They shortened to firing pin to prevent OOB ignition as well. With the hammer down, it should not be past the recessed face of the bolt. Only strikes the round by inertia.

Copied from another forum, another poster... Close your eyes and pick the gun up and put in the position that feels the best to you. Without moving the gun, open your eye, DO NOT TRY TO LOOK THROUGH THE SCOPE. What is your eye looking at? If you are looking at the top of the eyepiece of your...

Make sure bolt rails are not bent.

I googled correct way to mount a scope

Only thing is to modify your stock or get a different scope. I mount my scope by closing my eyes and then opening. If I don't see an even shadow around the target when the scope is forward, before tightening, I know I'm going to have a problem. I think there is a good thread on rimfire...

This is why I have an extra firing pin and ejector.

I have an idea that JB Weld will outlast the magazine, but we'll see.

Perhaps is was not a slam fire problem, but early models had OOB firing, destruction of ejector, etc., leading to the shorter pin.

In an inertial pin, the pin cannot extend past the bolt face except during the firing when the momentum is transferred to the pin. The old pins were longer and the pin was longer than the bolt and extended when the hammer was against the bolt face. The newer pin is shorter. At least that is...

Make sure it isn't parallax.
