I decided no more 22lr ammo fo me

Jobbass:

Two pages of comments and not a bit of useful information given by you to help you diagnose the problem. Just that you get mis-fires.

What do the firing print strikes look like on the cartridges that failed to fire? Light, normal, non-existent, does the rim appear bent on both sides?

Have you been dry firing the gun and caused an indent in the chamber face that has removed the anvil effect? It can be repaired if you've done this.

Perhaps you do just have a bad lot of ammo but we will never have a clue unless you provide more info.

Stocker is bang on. Ammo is not the problem . Describe the problem starting with the indent or lack of on the cartridge rim.
 
x3 on looking at your spent brass for the primer strikes.the rem and xpert .22 are filthy.the dynapoints are not consistent in their powder loading--sometimes sub-sonic and sometimes supersonic.i like the fed bulk or american eagle.the cci and eley have soft aluminum/brass but the eley smell TERRIBLE imho...cci should go bang every time.the eley have such soft brass that they can get crushed in a semi...

Hi,

I have never dry fired this gun, not even once.

The dent on the primer is exactly the same between the one that goes bang and the other one that doesn't fire.

tried different lot not better unless it is cci no misfire yet.

Thanks

Would you Remington be a 597? One of the poorest performing rifles Reminton has ever produced, maybe, just maybe the worst ever. Perhaps many of the 597 users on Rimfire central can tell you what the trouble with your rifle is. FS

How many 597's have you owned,did yours always Jam
 
The S&W Model 41 is known to be very fussy as to what ammo it will digest. I have done a lot reading on some bullseye forums & newsgroups and found that no two 41's are alike. The advice I got was to try a box of everything you can find, and see what works. My particular gun uses Win T22's foe everyday plinking without any problems. Ammo is the problem - not the gun.

I agree, and I believe that it will get worse. Especially given your description of identical primer markings and the failure is not indicative to any particular brand of ammo. CCI not withstanding - that stuff is pretty hot.

The firing pin has become worn (or peened) after a zillion rounds and the associated impacts with various rim thickness against a steel chamber. You don't need to dry fire to cause wear, it just happens. I am willing to be that if you were to mic' you firing pin against a new one, yours would easily be a few thousand of an inch shorter.

Take to to a gunsmith or venture to source a new firing pin from the likes of Western Gun Parts
 
i've shot many thousands of cheap 22lr's, and only seem to remember a very few misfires. could be the proportions mixing me up, but i'd say around 10-15 max!

Thank you guys for the input.

my next question is can i change myself the firing pin on the smith-wesson 41
I have the exploded picture but how i remove the outside pin so the firing pin come out.

Thank you.
 
Have the extractor checked.The Model 41 not infrequently jams because the extractor is a different shape from the groove into which it recesses.It can be filed into shape by a smith.Yours isn't jamming but I wonder if the extractor is somehow not 'bottoming' out thereby preventing the striker from hitting the rim hard enough.

Hello,

I have found the solution to my problem.

It is not the extractor, it is not the firing pin,

I have bought 1500 rounds of cci regular velocity, and shot every one of them(I did not even cleanned the gun) , absolutly no misfire. As soon as I loaded my gun with remington 22lr , on the first shot nothing, beleive me first shot .

So the new title of the thread will be

NO MORE REMINGTON 22 LR FOR ME

Thanks.:)
 
I shoot a lot of Federal and American Eagle Bulk Packs, never had any issues aside from the odd round not feeding or extracting properly. I shoot them all from a Winchester 490 Semi that's ~30 years old.

I also shoot Stinger's, those are mint rounds for the .22 LR.
 
I came to the same conclusion about Remington 22lr ammo last year. My 597 (the worst gun ever made according to the resident expert Fassteel :rolleyes:) does not like the golden bullets at all, or any remington ammo, with the exception of the subsonic's, they have always gone bang... :confused:

I switched over to a steady diet of dynapoints, and federal bulk packs, and never looked back. I have fired 25 bricks through in the last year with very, very few misfires. Perhaps 2 or 3? With the golden bullets, I was averaging about 25%. Some packs were a lot worse than others.
