15-22 trigger failing to "reset" itself problem?

[thawarrior10]

ok, so first off, i'm fairly new to the rifle community but i do own a handgun. so i took my 15-22 to the range today for the FIRST time and after shooting 1 round, my trigger didn't work anymore! the round extracted fine and another fed fine but for some reason, my trigger wouldn't "reset" itself! very disappointed right now and a little depressed....

is there a problem with my 15-22 or am i over looking something? it just like to me that the extract assembly is extracting the round just fine, it's just going back far enough to reset the trigger. i pulled apart and looked at everything and it seems fine to me.....PLEASE HELP!!!

Using high velocity ammo?

You did clean and lube the bolt and carrier before going to the range, right? Lube with a light coat of CLP.

its either not been lubed or the ammo you are using isnt cycling the bolt, if thats not the problem then there is probably a good chance that something brokededed

Yup cleaned and lubed and using "subsonic remmington 22lr" rounds

That's why we're here!

For the record, CCI MiniMag 40GR 1200FPS shoot GREAT! I will find out tomorrow how the Fed Bulk Pack 550rounds shoot

thanks for the inputs! let me know how the Fed Bulk works out

i think phil has about 13,500 fed bulk through his.

i shoot the fed bulk almost exclusively and it works great for me.

I would have to agree with mike on this one. I have been using CCI mini mags since I got mine; however went out yesterday with a buddy and his 10-22 and some federal 550. His grouping at 75 yards was much more consistent then my CCIs. I fired a magazine full of federals and had about 4-5 inch group at 75 yards compared to being all over the board with CCIs. I will now be exclusively using Federals from here on out.

Another 100 rounds of Federal Bulk down range again today. Dime sized holes at 50' for 5-10 round groups. It's all I use in all my .22's.
