Just had to add that there was a problem with the firing pin and tolerances. Marstar fixed it and sent it back very promtly. They even refunded me for the shipping to send it to them!!

Range report coming soon.

Was the firing pin oversize? Have you taken it to the range yet?

I have a terrible M93 from Lever.

I had it to the range today. Not sure what the problem with the firing pin was other than tolerances, but it was not liking a wide variety of ammo. After Marstar fixed it the little pistol is much better. I collected some info from the range today and will post it soon.
 
Got mine from Rodger (Dark Int.).
Marstar was out at the time and AFAIK Rodger tests his firearms before shipping.
It was a little more dough, but that covers about a brick of ammo.
Liked the pistol from the moment I got it. Decided to ice it a proper cleaning. There are some instructions on hot to fully disassemble the beast. Cleaning and reassembly took about 4-6 hours. Don't do it unless you have to, are masochistic or a gunsmith.
Accuracy is good. FTF can be attributed mostly to ammo.

Rodger runs a mag through each. I got mine from him as well. He is a bit slow but the extra $25 or so is worth the wait and it's nice to have someone clean the gun for you...:)

Let me guess- remington thunderbolts, 500 pack. I've had several boxes with way too many duds- same symptom, different guns: strikes with no boom. Nasty , dirty stuff, IMHO.

I had it out yesterday after repairs and guess what! Yup, I had issues with the Remington Thunderbolt 500 pack. Fail to fires was the issues on about 15% of rounds fed through the Woodsman Pistol.

I wish I wouldn't have bought the stuff. :mad:

You can still put the Thunderbolt through the single shot Cooey!:)
 
IMO, M93 is the cheapest .22 pistol on the market, but the quality is also poor, I cut my finger cleaning the gun, I will try to remember to wear rubber from now on (LOL). My review on this gun is mixed. Upon on its arrival, cleaned, lubed, took the range, American Eagle Red Box 40gr solid, 3 mags. The gun had 1 FTF and 2 mis-fire on the first mag, it fired 2nd mag without issue, then 3rd mag with couple of the slam fire and 1 FTF, I field striped the gun and noticed the firing pin screw was very loose, tighten it up, SLAM fire issue is fixed, but FTF or mis-fire still happens, it is hit and miss, 1 mag is good, 1 mag is bad, (it is not the mag as it is happens with each mag soon or later). When I shoot, it has less FTF/mis-fire, but when my son shots, mis-fire or FTF happens quite often, sometime even 5 out of 10 rounds.

Finally, I realized that there was little play in the Main Spring Housing (the back piece on the grip), when I squeeze it hard, it felt like the main spring housing moves towards the front a bit and I can shoot the whole mag without any issue. My son doesn't have the strength to squeeze it hard, so mis-fire/FTF happens. I took a piece of thin metal wire and round it up and pushed it between the Receiver and the main spring housing, and now the gun functions much better. Hopefully this will help if anyone having the same issue.

Last post by "Ganderite" might be talking about the same thing, it basically increases the spring tention in the Main Spring Housing".

""-- Mine had a lot of missfires. I increased the tension on the hammer spring and now no missfires. ""
