I can't get this gun to run through a full magazine without FTE or other issues.

Common issues were



and



I was shooting Federal bullets. Any ideas how to stop this from occuring? It's frustrating after shooting two rounds to have to pull the bolt assembly out to remove a casing.

A. As above, try CCI minimags.
B. I ended up clipping a few coils off the recoil spring.

C. If all else fails, call Spikes.  Mine had some other problems and Spike's took care of it.

You can sort out your problems with just a little money and some elbow grease.

1) To cure the brass from getting caught in the charging handle: http://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/22ba596.htm

2) To improve all around reliability: http://taccom3g.com/22RF_RELIABILITY_KIT.html

These products really do work and will clear up most of your reliability issues.

I believe the TACCOM firing pin will not drop into a Spike's bolt.

 
Check with TACCOM to be sure.

I have a Spike's conversion (not a complete upper) and had the same issues.  I tried the CMMG charge handle, and no improvement.  I finally got the Taccom extractor and used a new extractor spring from the CMMG Survival Spring kit and then it ran great!

My experience with Spikes uppers is if it doesn't run from the factory, it never will.

I had to do a bunch of polishing on the feed ramp on the Spikes Collar and barrel.  If it wasn't for the freakish accuracy of the Spikes Lother Walther barrel, I would have dumped the upper years ago.

I used that same Spikes Bolt but with a TACCOM Barrel/Collar and I have ZERO issues with no polishing, etc.

I put the taccom firing pin in my spikes bolt, Just needed a small amount of filing.

Thanks for the replies. I actually sold my .22 conversion to help fund this a while back. I figured get the accuracy of a dedicated barrel...I never shot this much since it didn't run all that great.
