.22 Ross 1912

It's not chambered for shorts. Use standard velocity .22 Long Rifle. Don't use high velocity rounds in it. It is an auto-eject single shot. When you pull the trigger it will open the bolt and eject the empty, ready to load the next round. high velocity .22s will beat it up pretty quickly. With standard loads they are a ball to shoot.

Cottage Hill Bill says the 1912 is an Auto Eject. That is incorrect! It is not designed to auto eject! If you have a 1912 that is auto ejecting you should stop shooting it and have it serviced or repaired!

WERE do you get it serviced or repaired are there any gunsmiths experianced with this ..............before i knew better i shot high velocity ammo ( perhaps 15 to 20 rounds) about half auto ejected then i STOPPED i knew something couldnt be right. i have bought a box of standard velocity ammo and some .22 shorts / cb caps just havent re-shot the ross 22 again .
 
Any gunsmith can handle this (at least an evaluation of the problem). The mechanism is simple, and it's easy to see what's going on with it, as the "hook" that locks the action shut is just ahead of the trigger on the underside of the barrel. This hook sort of looks like the sear on a Cooey bolt action and should lock the bolt on forward close. You can see with the gun out of the stock that when the trigger is squeezed to fire, that even applies more pressure onto that lock to hold it in locked position. I suspect that most eject on firings are caused by those locking mating surfaces slipping due to wear and can be corrected by any smith, so parts may not be required.
