22LR cases sticking!

[dogdoc]

Purchased a reamer and fixed mine. Did several. Smith 22 are notorious for this. Most to the point they are not fun to use as is.

So I was shooting a buddies 43c and my 63 snub. After only 2-3 cylinders the cases became impossible to eject . Any solutions to stop this ? I guess polishing the cylinder throats? I don't know! Any help would be appreciated.

Buy a Korth, this problem never happens with them in .22.

Hmmm, maybe I'll grab a few of those.

I would try J B bore paste for the cylinder sticking.

If the OP is still experiencing sticky extraction after three years, he should just rent a reamer and fix the problem.

I leave a very light film of oil in the chamber.

I bought one for $50.

Keep cylinders dry. Oil can make a hydraulic effect. And before any reaming I would try a bunch of different ammo. My 17 hated some, others ejected like 007s car seat.

I have reamed all my 22 revolvers and can fire any ammo I want, box after box without cleaning and eject with light thumb pressure.

Life is to short to put up with a finicky 22

Earlier this year, I ordered directly from Mason Precision their 22 cylinder reamer and received in less than a week. To date, I have reamed the charge holes on my 22/32 Target model and 17-3. After reaming, both are a joy to shoot. Ammo is effortlessly loaded and emptied easily extracted. Interestingly, my K-22 shipped in 1953 did not require reaming.

I have lent the reamer to two other shooters for reaming of a k-22 and a Model 17 and they are equally pleased with the results. I highly recommend the Mason Precision reamer.

Marlin57M, I think you meant Manson, not Mason.

I'm glad I'm on pg 2 so I won't catch as much heck for my post.
I cut off a cleaning rod for a 22 rifle at about a foot.
I put a brush on the rod and chuck it up in an old battery powered drill.
When the cylinder gets sticky I run the high speed cleaning rod though all 6 and reload.

Fixed the problem.
