Malfunctions with new rifles?

[Majorlk]

I also found that like Majorik said, no lube is best except for a tiny amount on the rails. I doubt if I even use a full drop on them. just enough to make them shine.

Someone wiser than I am once said that if you can see the lube, you used too much!

I'm the OP and after we got rid of the Aguila ammo we haven't had a single problem. The thing is as accurate as I need it to be and super fun to shoot too. Plus it's the easiest gun to clean ive ever owned.

My guess is that the problem was ammo related but it's possible there was a small burr somewhere that got smoothed out with use.

My experience with Remington is expect 1 per 50 round box to misfire. More if U R unlucky as many as 3. At the range using safety precautions UR good to go. New M&P 1522 do yourself a favor and don't shoot it until firearm is well broken in. That being said sometimes it is the only brick in the cabinet. I go old school with one round in the Bolt action and one in the pocket. Those were my dads rules, so usually I miser the ammo and it is 1, 25 round mag in the firearm and one in the pocket. Hunting-plinking I have come to appreciate the shorty 10 rounder. Growing old I guess but it seems more comfortable to shoot.

"New M&P 1522 do yourself a favor and don't shoot it until firearm is well broken in." How does this work???
Remington GB work best in mine but only the "New and Improved" version. The older version I could see 1 FTF in 50. The "New and improved" is like 1 FTF in 700.

Decipher:

Did you thoroughly clean and lightly lubricate the firearm before taking it to the range? Many feeding problems on new rifles can be traced to a lack of initial cleaning and proper lubrication

FYI, there is no need to put any lubrication on the outside of the bolt, and only a single drop of CLP or similar on the bolt rails.

FWIW, I have purchased three 15-22s and none of them needed any monkeying with the ejector.

Yes I did. I'm super anal about my weapons and have never had a malfunction with any of my weapons before this rifle. I'm with you and a huge proponent of properly cleaning, inspecting, and lubing a new weapon.

I did the extractor mod but I didn't have time to run it yesterday. I'm on-duty today so I hope to get out on Monday to see if I've corrected the issue. I'll try several different kinds of ammo to assure it's not an ammo issue.
