ready to give up Well the CCI's still jammed up. Had better luck with Winchesters, but I cannot extract the spent shells. As an added bonus: the new gun makes an annoying rattling noise. Contacted S&W again; they are sending another return envelope. Said the rattling noise is hammer block...

S&W Exchanged my 317 for a new gun Been out of the country but S&W shipped me a new 317. I'll report back on how it works when I get a chance to get out to the range.

@one-eye-joe : What do you mean? :)

@FRAN: Will do, thanks for the tip. Sorry, but what does "roll it out" mean? @cjWils: very interesting observations re rimfile and residual powder, but the Winchester's *seem* to fire ok (but they get stuck when it comes to extraction) . Please let us know what your test with the q-tip...

@TSquared: no, I have not shot the ammo through another gun, this is the only gun that I have, so was not sure what to expect or what is normal. @Roca: I'm wondering the same, there was a nice review written up on the 317 awhile back where I believe the reviewer said that he had shot several...

Called S&W and they are sending another pre-paid envelope to send the gun back to the factory. They implied that it should not jam up nor get so sticky after so few rounds and they seemed kind of dumb-founded at the extractor rod jamming up and that not all of the ammo sinks into the chambers...

Update: just got the gun back from S&W. They swapped out the cylinder. I can now shoot a few cycles (full 8 rounds) with the Federals and Winchesters but the CCI's jam. After about 100 rounds, the Federals jam and the extraction of the Winchesters becomes very difficult (I have to pull them...

Quote from an engineer friend of mine when he saw the photos: "Yikes! Two bad things jump out at me from the picture…the powder burns around the firing pin indicate the casings are actually rupturing…not just distorting…there should be little to no powder burns there, especially in a .22 using...

317 jamming - photos posted Yah, two guns with the same problem is weird. I posted a few photos of the spent Federal shells, the breech of the gun, and the cylinder with the clogged Winchesters. They are also posted at Flickr: cobinrox's Photostream spent_federals_bulge | Flickr - Photo...

317 Jamming Howdy -- I had heard good things about the 317 too. Here are the answers to your questions: a) yes, I cleaned the gun before firing b) yes the gun was clean and shiny c) yes the extractor worked fine when empty and before shooting anything d) I'll post a photo of the bulging cases...

Hi folks -- just got a brand new 317 revolver and it jams up after firing one or two rounds. It looks like the bullets "bulge" and jam up the cylinder. SW replaced the cylinder but it still reacted the same way: jam after one or two rounds fired. The dealer replaced the gun with a different...

317 .22 Jamming Problems Branta, Crosse : did either of you get your issues resolved? I recently purchased a 317, had jamming problems, had the cylinder replaced, still jammed, got a replacement 317, same thing happened. Going to call S&W again about the second gun's problem, but just...
