Ejection trouble

[Protocall_Design]

The reamers wear out gradually over hundreds of chambers. There are many shades of gray between "all good" and "all bad". Not just black and white.

The reason I said you could do it with or with out ejector in place is all of mine never started cutting until about a 1/3 to half way in and didn't remove metal before that. I do believe it would be best to do it as a unit.

My Model 35 Kit Gun Target was sticky, but only with regular high velocity ammo. (not Stinger type) Ejected fine with standard/target velocity. YMMV

You can rent a 22 lr reamer from 4D Reamer Rentals for $38 plus $12.85 shipping . You want a cylinder reamer, not a barrel reamer as pilots portion is different. Cylinder reamer pilot is throat size and a barrel reamer pilot rides on lands

You do not need the go/no go gauges.

Just turn in using a tap handle. Always turn clock wise with a coat of light oil until rim cutter touches recesses. Pull out using a bit of a clock wise twist. Clean with brake or carb cleaner. oil reamer and chamber and repeat on next chamber. It will only remove a very tiny amount of material in tiny tiny cuttings. You do not need extractor in place, but leaving it will not hurt anything. Place cylinder in padded vise and no need to get it real tight as not much torque is needed. After you're all done clean well with carb cleaner, make sure clean under ejector.

Lots of S&W 22 cylinders have this problem. Reaming WILL fix it.

I can fire a carton of 22lr from any of my K22s and eject with a thumb stroke.

In fact there was a reamer being passed from one member to the next on this forum for some time. I have no idea where it is now.

I recommend renting 4D's tap handle when you rent their reamer. I rented .22 Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum reamers and none of the tap handles I owned worked with their reamers.
