CGN came through for me once again!
I bought a MkIII Target about 6 months ago. I also picked up a box of 525 federal bulk 22 for hours of plinking goodness. This box went well...probably 1 FTE/FTF in 200rnds. I figured bulk ammo, that's acceptable. Fast forward 3 months and about 1000 rnds, I decided to give her a cleaning. Struggled for a while to get the thing apart and back together, but overall not a terrible experience. Next range trip was when the issues started. bought a few boxes of Wildcat, Dynapoint GT and Winchester 333/555. Nothing would cycle. At least 3 jams per magazine. Since this little pistol gets such rave reviews, the new ailment frustrated me to no end. I thought it was me at first, so I disassembled it and watched several videos about how to break these down and put them together, however my next range trip was the same. I felt defeated and disgusted, so into the safe she went until last weekend.
Browsing the CGN forums, I found some threads on the MkIII and gave them a read. Someone suggested removing the LCI (loaded chamber indicator), as that was known for causing issues for loading/extracting. So, I decided to give it a shot. Last night i got my trusty telescoping magnet out and removed the LCI, as well as gave the moving parts a little oil for good measure. I put 280 rounds through the little bugger this morning (mix of all manufacturers) and only had 3 failures, 2 of which seem like bad rounds(large strike on the primer, but no ignition) and 1 stove pipe. It would appear my issues are no more!
Just wanted to say thanks to all the knowledgeable members on here for the good advice, and also leave a tag in the title for those with similar issues to find.
Cheers,
John

Find some ammo that it likes and stick with that.
