| I went to the range to try out my .22LR conversion kit today. Every mag I fired, at least one round would fail to extract. It would just be stuck in the chamber, so I would have to remove the mag and rack the charging handle five or six times until the extractor finally pulled the spent cartridge out. I hope someone knows why this might be happening. The only thing I can think of is I might have overlubed it. . . since the instructions don't say where to put lube, I just slathered the whole damn thing down. Thanks for any help!!! |

Good news, this is an easy fix. Give the chamber a buzzing out from the muzzle end using a bore brush, section of cleaning rod and a cordless drill. This gets rid of any crud and smooths the chamber a little more. Typically, after 100 rds or so, you won't see failures of this nature very often.
As for lube, a drop on each side of the rail and you are good to go. Good luck, if that doesn't get it, let us know! |
