    Yay! It works perfectly again! Installed the Volquartsen extractor, tweaked the ejector up *just a bit*, and scrubbed the chamber clean. It's back to eating anything and shooting the wings off flies RELIABLY! Thank you VERY much to all who replied with good suggestions and took the time to do...

    Took it out again yesterday, and shot better ammo. Same thing happened, 3 to 4 failures per mag. It's definitely the gun, not the ammo or mags. Ordered the Volquartson extractor and hope this is the fix. Ejector is fine and perfect, compared it to a brand new one at the shop. Apparently we...

    Thanks, TX-Dennis! At first, it would feed and cycle *anything* I fed it, except for subsonics. Lately, I've been buying cheap and plentiful because I do love shooting it so much. The range tosses bunches of golf balls out, and it's so entertaining to watch them pop up. :) I bought some spinner...

    I have told him to be careful of the ejector from the very beginning. He's very competent with guns and mechanics, so I am trusting that is ok. Ammo has been everything, from Minimags, to Remington, to Win. This last large buy of Federal seems to be the worst. I will check the mag seams, but out...

    I have been having great fun weekly at the range with my toy! Lately though, it has started catching an empty sideways on eject, and double feeds behind it too often for my liking. My husband keeps it nice and clean for me, and says the ejector appears fine and straight. Where should I begin...

    Aftermarket mags any good?

    I just found the Search button. Apparently these are not well loved here. Sorry to bother y'all.

    Aftermarket mags any good?

    Plinker Tactical has a special on mags for the little beastie. Any good? Anybody tried them? Thank you. :)

    Greetings to all from East Texas

    My rifle shooting is bizarre. I am now left handed, but still very right-eyed. My right shoulder is very prone to dislocate from no muscle tone on that side. So far, I have been shouldering to the right, sighting right, and triggering left. Off a padded bench rest. I'm thinking .22 should be...

    Marshall, TX here. We moved here 15 years ago to get out of the rapidly encroaching leftism that ate Colorado. East Texas is beautiful, with great people.

    Greetings to all from East Texas

    Hi there! I've been shooting for 51 years, since taught initially by the Englewood Police Children's Gun Club. Yeah, that's been a while. I have collected 5 screw Smiths and Lugers for years and many other toys, but after a stroke 7 years ago, haven't had much fun at the range. Shooting left...
