    4-screw Model 17 spent rounds stuck in cylinder

    There are at least two possibilities,, one is : Have you fired any 22 shorts in the gun, before shooting the LR ammo? Shorts will cause a ring in the cylinder that can grab the fired cases,,, A brass brush will cure that issue. Second,, that will be a longer story, I have not done that one,,
