This seems to be fairly common with Zastava to have tight chambers. I have one of the 7.62x39 rifles and tried a few different types of non corrosive i had and anything steel cased or lacquered surplus type of ammo was tight getting in and out. What worked best for me was some Tula soft points i had.
I have 2 of the Zastava m70 commercial Mausers. They are of totally different levels of fit and finish, as if made by 2 entirely different manufacturers. When I read conflicting reviews on them now, I believe BOTH reviewers because I have experienced each.
I think if a guy could either handle before buying or else get good detailed pics, he could get one and be satisfied with it. That being said, even my rougher one is not a regret and I’m happily keeping it.
Thread revival: Just bought a used MP22... Brought it at the range today to zero the scope. Very accurate little rifle.
User Manual: Rule #12
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE-SHOOTING GLASSES. There’s always a chance that gun powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles, or other debris that may blow back and injure eyes of the shooter. Injury in such circumstances can be severe, including the possible loss of vision. ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR SAFETY GLASSES TOO!
I must be really lucky because mine blows back particles at every rounds and because I'm left handed. My right cheeks gets them all. It's annoying enough I think I'll sell it quick.
From what I see, if I were right handed I wouldn't have noticed.

Has anyone dealt with the chambering/feeding issues with this rifles.
Apparently there are problems and it's being sold as is.
What is warranty on these Zastava rifles? Seems like they are sending out pos with full knowledge of existing problems.
