The bolt is not coming back far enough to cock the hammer. The trigger is dead.

The trigger frequently fails to reset when using Aguila ammo. It ejects the previous round and feeds the next round with no problem. I have thoroughly inspected, cleaned and lubed everything. Today, it failed 5 out of 25 rounds with Aguila Super Extra 40gr 1255 fps copper plated round nose. I...

Criteria The feed ramp had surface scratches that I wanted to eliminate. I also smoothed the edges between the feed ramp and the chamber. The barrel nut wasn't quite as tight as I expected. If it was a little loose, I can see it causing some feed and accuracy issues.

Update I got the barrel wrench and polished the feed ramp and chamber with felt tipped Dremel bits and polishing compound. The whole process took less than an hour and was very easy to do. I went to the range today and got the rifle sighted in. Windage was good, but the elevation was off low by...

I have been having occasional failures to feed, with the bullet jammed into the edge of the chamber. The bullet is damaged, with a line cut in the nose and the bullet is loose and angled in the brass. It seems to be worse with hollow point ammo. It happens with CCI SV and Minimags, Aguila and...

Update I clean my guns after each use with CLP, a bore brush and a bore snake. The chamber and barrel were clean. The rounds appear to be seating properly in the chamber. I don't think it was out of battery. The piece missing from the head is 90 degrees from the firing pin mark, which is...

I was plinking with my 15-22 today and had an interesting experience. I shot one full mag of CCI standard velocity with no problems. On the third to the last round in the 2nd magazine, the back of the casing blew off. Smoke came out all around the receiver. When I removed the magazine, the back...

My wife and I went to the range and shot about 150 rounds of Federal Black Pack through the 15-22. We had two failure to fires. I reloaded the two rounds and one of them failed a second time and the other fired. We were shooting at 75 feet. See the attached photos showing shots take using iron...

Try cleaning the mag well My magazines were not dropping freely. I wiped out the mag well with a very small amount of CLP on a paper towel and it fixed it.

Holosun HS503R I put the Holosun HS503R circle dot sight on my 15-22 and I am very happy with it. You can run it with the dot only if you want to. The dot is 2 MOA, which works better for me because I have an astigmatism that makes larger dots look like a distorted starburst or comma. The...

I am fed up with this gun. The front and rear sights will not stay in place. I have to push the rear sight all the way to the right to be able to hit my target at 15 feet. After adjusting the rear sight, I tightened the set screw VERY tight. When I disassembled the gun for cleaning, the rear...

I shot 100 rounds of the Federal Black Pack ammo with my Ruger 10/22 and 40 rounds with my Ruger SR22 today. With the 10/22, I had 3 failures to fire, 2 failure to feeds, with bent/grooved casings, and one failure to eject, with the spent casing jammed in the closed bolt. I had two failures to...

Opinions? I had two employees at the range tell me that "The EZ is a defensive gun" and that "I am expecting too much from it" when I was discussing my concerns about the inconsistency, inaccuracy and problems maintaining zero with this gun. I get that this is not a competition gun and that I...

Update I saw another post where I guy was saying that the front sight on his EZ will rotate a small amount. I checked mine and he is right. You can easily shift it quite a bit. I estimate that it could easily change the POI by 1-2 inches at 15 feet. It is held in place by a clip so it can't be...
