22lr gunsmith

[Erni]

Any recommendations for a GS that can tune a 22/45? Local preferred, Denver and north ideal.
I can?t get it to run without chocking on at least one round every magazine or two.
Or if there are kits that can help tune it up let me know. It?s stock so far and extremely frustrating.

Try different ammunitions- they can be finicky.

I agree with BP.

I had my MKIII out this week. It ran like crap with cheap Browning junk ammo. I switched to Stingers and 100 rounds with no problems.

[Erni]

I did. I went through a few different brands and agree that they are finicky. But best it went was 1 ftf/fte in 2 mags.
I will try some mini mags next time and see if that cures it. But I hate unreliable guns.

Browning 22LR seems to be especially crappy

Mini mags definitely runs better in my MKII, MKIII, and 22/45.

If you really want to try and "tune" it, Volquartsen has a number of parts available for 22/45's. I have no personal experience with them, but I have run Volquartsen parts in 10/22's with good success.

Might inspect the feed ramp for burrs rough spots and buy a couple new mags. I have a mark ii and 22/45 with the volq parts kits they are a step above assembling an ar but not bad

Contact Ruger. Ship it on their dime.

My issue was purely FTF due to ammo hanging up in mags.

Have since run a couple thousand of the bulk Federal and Automatch without any issue.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

[Erni]

That?s good info.

Found my notes on ammo from that session

Obama era bulk pack, failure drills, did not ignite or low power
RIA yellow box, 2 failed per mag
Win super X some issues 1300fps?
Remington high velocity good.

But still Rem had an issue every couple of mags. Super X is my usual go to but it doesn?t work here.

[earplug]

Remington .22 is garbage

36, or 40 gr?

1) after market mags are mostly junk
2) polish the mag feed lips to remove any burrs. I use steel wool. Disassemble and clean the track where the button slides.
3)Try cci copper washed. The cci ar or mini mags are great choices.
4) volquartsen and tandemkross make great after market parts.

[Erni]

Soooo?. I broke the gun down and the slide was caked on. Honestly I don?t remember cleaning it last. Clean slide and the thing ran excellent with hi vel. And ok with bulk Remington 1200 fps standard ammo. Some of the Rem bullets liked to jam against the feed ramp. It?s like they made the ramp a smidge too short. Or the mags got grimy. The Remington is junky but 300 rounds and was still going well.
The mag disconnect is another story though.
