No problem RG...Hope it helps. Hey Dan034 those posts from Eric are SUPER. Thanks for the post.
I had a similar type problem with a Winchester 9422, .22LR. It would jam and misfire with the Remington Brass Jacketed, Hollow Points, and two or three times out of 100 rounds, a round would get caught internally in the lever mechanism, and require a breakdown to retrieve it.

I appreciate all of te tips you posted. If I cannot get this thing to run well in the mext few days, I will begin to systematically apply each of hte steps.
I fired several hundred more rounds today and it is running better.
Here is what I did. I used Carb Cleaner to blow out any grease, oil, gunk. Once cleaned, I applied only a small amount of motor oil to the slide rails of the Ciener.
The unit ran better, but it failied to lock up on some round. Federal .22
I added a dab of Militec grease to the recoil spring. The first shot after that jammed.
After clearing the jam, I ran about 20 more rounds through the unti before I ran out of ammo.
No more jams.
I took it back out of the unit and wiped it clean. I did NOT removethe grease from the recoil spring. I added a small amount of 'honing oil' from a knife sharpening kit, instead of gun oil to the slides.
I just test fired 15 rounds.
I am low on .22 and it is getting dark, so I will continue to test tomorrow evening if I have time.
I have learned that the unit wants NO grease anywhere except hte recoil spring. If there is grease anywhere else, I have jammed cases on the bolt face, and spent cases jumping the bolt.
