i took out my dads old ruger 22 auto, loaded up a full clip and when i racked the slide to chamber the first round it jammed. then i tried just putting half a clip in it it worked fine . whats the problem how do i fix?
 
little help

When you have a Failure to load, there could be several causes. I suspect you could have a couple of things to check. First, if you know how to pull the barrel, pull it off and check the chamber mouth. Make sure it is clean and has no burrs. Next I would check the extractor and make sure it is in place and springs out when you push on it. Then I would check the lips of the magazine and make sure they are free of burrs as well. Most likely the problem is going to be the tension on the magazine. If you know how to take it apart, retension the spring. If not, PM me and I will give you instructions on how to do it. It isn't hard to fix, just most folks get agrrevated and go buy a new magazine instead. Good luck.
