I recently purchased an old but in very nice shape J.C.Higgins Model 35 .22 rimfire S.L.LR. sold by Sears and Robuck. This is a slide/pump action model that shoots very well, the problem is that if you rack the action at a normal speed
to eject and reload, the nose of the cartridge hangs up on the transition between the end of the loading ramp and the chamber.
If I rack the action slowly, I can watch the rim of the cartridge pop up off the cartridge lifter as the bolt comes forward and cleanly into the chamber.
The action has been thoroughly cleaned and the moving parts lightly lubricated.
Any help with this feeding problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug
