Nope not heard of this. Mine though has issues with waxy ammo like S&B . Otherwise great ��
same here, no loading issues at all, only some extraction problems with certain ammo.
mine has a very tight chamber that is great for accuracy but with wrong ammo or once it becomes dirty (i.e. waxy) gives some grief.
no pos in my opinion, hard to find a 22 rifle in that price range with all steel and walnut construction, even all metal mags (only exception is plastic butt pad) and beautiful dark blueing.
did i mention the great (adjustable) trigger?

Registration leads to confiscation!
Yes, there is extraction issues and feeding the last round in the mag is almost impossible.
Tried to tweak the mag lips, shortened the spring but no go.
The trigger is adjustable to a certain degree and has lots of sideways play. Far from a great trigger...
I had the Remington Model 5 bolt action 22LR which is basically a Zastava MP22 with the Remington markings and a nice laminate stock. Sold it for $300.00 on a face to face deal to a friend.
It shot like a laser beam, extremely accurate with CCI Stingers and Federal American Eagle AE22 rounds. I never had any feeding, cycling, extraction or any other concern. Just amazing accuracy, shot many grouse with this set up.
I never should have sold it, tried several times to buy it back, not a chance, he stated it's way too accurate and a lot of fun to shoot.
The only government I trust is 45-70 Government!
I used to have this rifle. It has a match (tight) chamber and weak extractors. The match chamber gives it excellent accuracy, but is prone to being gummed up by waxed coated bullets (like CCI lead round nose). Just use copper plated ammo and it'll be fine. I used to shoot cheap Federal 36gr CPHP bulk ammo with very good results.
It's one of the most accurate rifle for the money, I got mine for $200 in rougher shape, and it shot one hole or cloverleaf groups at 25yds with a Nikon 2-7x scope and cheap bulk ammo. I regret selling this rifle.
I've noticed the same thing of tight barrel and difficulty feeding last round. However, I'll be keeping mine for the foreseeable future.

I have one in 22mag, bought it from SAIL many years ago with a few spare mags, it's the most accurate 22mag I have ever seen.
The mag feeding issues come from the followers, some are oversized, some have flashing that needs to be removed. Pretty simple fix, just remove the followers and sand them down until they don't bind all the way through the magazine travel. No issues with mine after that, prior to, it would only feed 3 rounds.
Extractors, same issue, they are stamped steel and could use a good smoothing, very easy to do and will solve extraction issues.
After getting the 22LR, I have been VERY tempted to get the 22Mag as well!
