I've put over 4000 .22 lr through this baby. Very fun, cheap and accurate gun.

Today I had half a box of CCI Blazers through it and it stopped firing.

I took it upon myself to do the (apparently) dreaded bolt-disassembly, which was a breeze with a cut washer as a firing pin retainer.

The bolt handle is loose. There is no adjustment. Everything else is optimal and clean.

How likely is it that the looseness is creating space between the round and the firing pin?

I anxiously await the Yoda-esque knowledge of the gun-toting public!!
 
Nevermind. Went back to the range and test fired a couple times while manipulating the bolt handle.

That couple thousands of an inch was keeping the firing pin away.

Damn Remlin.....
