Been looking one over and it has several issues. Previously I had disassembled the entire thing and cleaned it. Not impressed by the zinc receiver. Even aluminium would have been better. Took the entire bolt apart and cleaned it too. Using 22 LR Rem HPs that are copper coated.
First and foremost is a feeding issue. The bullets sometimes are fed at too steep of an angle, causing a three point bind between the rim, the top of the bullet and the side of the bullet. There is a big bite in the side of the lead. BTW, when I switch to Federal Target Grade Performance 22 LR (they're LRN), it'll feed one shot, fire but won't extract.
Second, sometimes on recoil the magazine unlocks. I may have to replace the magazine catch spring with a stronger spring. Either that or deepen the notch in the magazine catch where it engages the spring.
Thoughts and comments.
