[SFRC] Chiappa LA322 Bandit Bootleg 22 LR Lever-Action, 12" Barrel, Wood on theammosource.com

Hi everyone. These have arrived and are being shipped out as I type this....they were loading a big stack of them into the truck when I just went to check on the shipping progress. Our apologies for these taking longer to get out than usually...sometimes there are hick-ups in the the gun world. Marcie is starting to process credits for the Bandit's purchased before the sale so that the Pre Black Friday Sale price is reflected on them. We don't usually back date sales but these took a little longer to get out than usual. We'll be processing them today and tomorrow so don't be alarmed if you don't get an email right away.

It seemed to have cycling issues especially with ejection, wonder if it's the case with this one though
 
Mine's extracting and ejecting fine as well but I have only fired about 100 rounds.

When the action is open and the bolt fully to the rear the extractor spring and the end of the extractor is clearly visible, it's not hard to imagine some dirt and debris getting in there at some point but should be easy enough to clean out.

I've read some reports of chamber damage from dry firing causing issues, not sure if it's true but it's easy to avoid unnecessary dry firing impacts on the firing pin with this gun and a disposable foam ear plug for any dry firing break in and trigger practice.

I dry fired mine before I read the caution.

It’s working fine still tho. I have pulled the trigger on an empty chamber while shooting too.

It's hard to avoid the occasional drop when your shooting and loose count. I would hope that would not be enough to cause issues!

For dry fire training getting used to the trigger and breaking things I found a disposable foam ear plug works great at catching the hammer and it's lasting quite well. A small chuck got pinched off and when I removed it the smaller remaining chunk was low enough to allow the action to cycle.... :).
