Here is a neat little revolver I jist picked up a 22 wmr mag with 8 rounds and 9 rounds in 22lr. It didn't like the double action in 22 wmr but it fired off the 22 lr just fine. I wonder if the brass is too tough on the 22 magnum ammo. A second hit with every shot worked as did double action.

Any 22 magnum with soft brass? Anyway its a cheap little gun that looks like its well build. Definitely not a Smith 22 but 1/2 the cost. A great little shooter in 22lr to teach my daughter how to shoot a revolver.

Have a look a my vid if you have time.

Nice video review. How did you fine the cylinder change? Do you think the screw head will wear out form changes? Do you think the change is easy enough to do at the range. Hope the misfires were due to the Winchester ammo. I know that some of the 22lr ammo they put out (M22) misfire quite a bit in my Marlin rifle and Advantage Arms 22lr conversion for the Glock 17 gen 3. They do work ok in my Beretta M71 though. Wish you could fire some other brands.

The cylinder changes are straight forward and I don't see any damage to the screw. I've done the change at home and the range in less than ideal conditions and its smooth. Yeah I hope to try some different 22 mag ammo and find something that will go off every time in double action. 22 lr is very reliable. Touch wood no clicks all booms.

Did some looking into it and that 22wmr ammo from Winchester is prone to misfires in most rifles so I suspect that is your misfire issue and not your gun.

I will make myself more clear. I was wondering if the crane is aluminum. I also found out that the Winchester 22wmr ammo you used misfires in most guns.
