SW22 Victory not ejecting

[CAV 1SG]

I did it and am looking for the video I used when I replaced the extractor with a Volquartsen. As soon as I find it I'll post the link.

After about 1500 rounds through mine the TAC-22 now works fine. So I added them to the list of usable rounds.

Not the ideal instruction video when he's disassembling with a few Oooopses and Let's see if this works. However his re-assembly of the firing pin (which I won't be touching) and the re-installation of the extractor is clear.)
Thanks for the link.

I have found the TK video.
The title or name of the video is NOT a helpful clue.

I have to concur. For anyone who had feed issues, check the ejector first. Mine was of just a tick and a little TLC with needle nose pliers fixed mine. The ejector absolutely has to be in a sweet spot to push the spent case out properly.

Bought SW22 Victory from BGS KY about 4/29/16 for my YL (young Lady). Cleaned and lubed, took out to the range first time 5/19/16. Was expecting joyful experience but instead got stovepipe every 2nd shot using Fed High Power (1260 fps) so changed to CCI minimag (1235 fps) same issues for 40-50 rounds total. Called S&W, they said shoot for another 200 rounds if the problem persists then call them again. Is this a rash of issues on 2016 SW22 Victory or know problem? Would appreciate any advise on the root cause, eg. is the Pin not bent enough or bent the wrong way or ???
Here's the solution: Bend the ejector pin into the case path by about 0.5 to 1.0 mm. Took it to the range and now the SW22 Victory will take any cartridge sub sonic or super sonic Federal or CCI - Problem solved

njsarn, thank you, very helpful.
Feel free to make a second post!

That seems to be an all too common problem. Send it back to S&W, they will cover the shipping both ways.

 

[skipsw22]

Send back for adjustments, Ha Ha

I would call S&W and let them know. They probably will send you a shipping label to send it back for adjustment.

So far that adjustment has taken 28 day since they received it! Not at all happy with this "New pistol repair time"!

SW 22 Victory

I am so disappointed with this gun. I have been to the range with it twice. Both times my Fte were ridiculous. At least 6 out of 10. I hate this gun! Both trips to the range it went back in the case and I brought out my Sig Sauer!

This was the tweak I tried (even a smaller distance) and a few hundred rounds later I had only one (1) FTF/FTE. There was no powder loaded. A dud round.

I guess that for "some" shooters, the YMMV dictum applies.

A little Loctite 242 will solve the loose thread problem. How do I know? The factory sent me a new takedown screw with that on it!

Ejection and take down screw issue

Bend the ejector a bit to engage more camming action on the empty shell. Bend it inward about 1 mm., check that it still rides in the ejector groove on the underside of the bolt body. I have repaired 4 Victories using this method. Look at the diagram posted earlier on how to bend the ejector. It works 99%of the time.

Take down screw: a little dab of locktite blue, and then use a Wheeler Fat wrench and torque to 30 inch pounds. You can still disassemble with ease, but have no loosening until you want to remove it. I have shot over 1000 rounds thru the gun without the screw loosening during shooting.

Have fun and shoot safe !!

Wonder what happened to johnny bam and his Victory issue, he went bam! on day 1 and never returned.

 

[dch80]

My Victory took 3 weeks the first time it went back. Currently at S&W again for the same problem that wasnt fixed right on first trip. Hoping for a better result when it does return to me. Been appx 2 weeks now

There is a 5 week turnaround as of 9/1/2017

Welcome to the forum.
I'd be more frustrated with heavy handed gunsmithing if I were you.

 

[S&WForum54]

Thanks for the pictures, New gun not ejecting, not a gun smith so was lost. Had attempted to make this adjustment after reading several posts and couple you tube videos. Didn't have good results, found your post and pics and at least two magazines were perfect.

 

[627Pro]

Yep, njsarn deserves a medal, or at least a "Well Done!" for posting those pics & tips. Worked like a charm on my Victory too.
