Jennings J22.... - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

I filed a slot in this one for the extractor to fully seat in the barrel breach, and also filed the chamber opening flat to increase headspace. I just took it out and shot about 10 clips full through it. With high velocity ammo it shot very well and many clips with no jams. The standard velocity ammo had some jams, i.e. the ammo with the black/blue colored lead tips. The ammo with the yellow or orange lead tips worked well.

At least it's a shootable gun now. Before it was basically a single shot with a 6 round clip, and I had to dig out the shells after each shot with a pocket knife.

Thats like the Jennings I had. $50 in 1986 at a flea market here in Florida when cash talked and IDs were not checked. I am getting another when I find one on the cheap. MIne only worked when a bit dirty. OTT it was a fun .22.
