Beth, do all the above and use SBGO and don't forget a very light coat in the feed tube. Don't just pour it in, use a very small patch on a cleaning rod. Then try it out at the range. Tube fed rifles can get finicky and the tubes are susceptable to damage. If not just dirty or poorly lubed, the malfunction is most likely due to a damaged feed tube or a worn extractor.

Excellent advice, but remember to use a loop jag, not a spear tip. A loop jag will ensure the patch comes back out when you remove the rod from the mag tube and tube assembly. Only real PITA is getting a patch stuck in the mag tube assembly, then you gotta drift out the cap pin and fight the 20" spring and plunger to get the patch out.. Save the trouble and use a loop on your cleaning rod.

Hahahaha! Amen, to that! Talk about turning an easy afternoon cleaning into a full on project!

BETH · 11-11-2011, 02:20 PM

Josh i have a rod with a slit at end that i put patch in is that what u are talking about

Chinook · 11-11-2011, 04:45 PM

Yup! You got it Beth.

The spear tip have a little "pin" on the end, and basically all they are good for is pushing patches thru a bore. You can't effectively pull with a spear tip is all.

Loop, and Spear Jags

Hawg · 11-11-2011, 05:47 PM

Get some CCI Mini Mags. If it won't work with those it won't work with anything.

fuzebox40 · 11-11-2011, 10:09 PM

Buy that sucker Beth, it's worth the experience. And if it never runs again you've got more than $50 worth of parts there. And just because someone knows guns doesn't necessarily mean they know how to work on them, so it could be something simple.
I tink u kon du it!

StoneChimney · 11-12-2011, 06:12 AM

Tell you what, buy it for the $50 and if you can't make it work I will buy it from you for the $50 and arrange for shipping from Naugahyde CT to good old Texas.

permafrost · 11-12-2011, 06:44 AM

Luckily, you don't have that gene that guys do that keep them from asking questions.(macho thing) I've seen you do this stuff before . You'll do it easy! My money is on you! Go Girl!

BETH · 11-12-2011, 01:30 PM

ok i am going to give it a try let u know when i get it. chinook that is the cleaning rod i use thanks for the picture. So stand by if i need help

BETH · 11-12-2011, 05:14 PM

how can i get some SBGO

fuzebox40 · 11-12-2011, 05:58 PM

Look in the sponsors and storefront link Beth.

BETH · 11-12-2011, 08:41 PM

you talking about sponsers banner at top

todd51 · 11-12-2011, 08:41 PM

Fuzebox steered you right. It is CW Grips better known here as Woodnut. He is an outlet for SBGO products.

BETH · 11-12-2011, 10:11 PM

ok Todd i see youre back again to see what i'm doing huh-never know with me

todd51 · 11-12-2011, 10:50 PM

I was checking to see if there were pictures of the initial tear down or the big clean up with the carb or break cleaner. I don't want to see a picture of the finished product till I have seen a pile of parts

BETH · 11-12-2011, 11:20 PM

This coming week he said he would get it to me i really want to tear it down to see if this guy just didn't clean it he just does not seam the type not to clean a firearm?

Hawg · 11-13-2011, 07:15 AM

A lot of experienced shooters rarely clean .22's. I let mine go until accuracy starts to fall off or I start getting malfunctions. Once you start having problems a good thorough cleaning is usually the first thing done.

mr.t7024 · 11-13-2011, 09:34 AM

I am with dustydog,after 1000 rounds, it needs a cleaning!

jim brady · 11-13-2011, 09:54 AM

Fellerette - I'm hangin' onto this thread like my Ex used to hang onto her daily soap operas. I'd bet that a good cleaning will restore that .22. I've seen folks bring .22 semi-autos to our Gun Club range so gunked-up that the bolt would hardly move, and then they'd wonder why 'ole reliable' wasn't working.

Some shooters will clean their .22s every other year whether they need to or not. I clean my .22s after every outing. Maybe it's just my military training, but I can't put a firearm away dirty. Besides, if you like to shoot and enjoy firearms, why not spend the time caring for them? They will stay in better shape and last much longer. But that's just my humble opinion - Jim.

BETH · 11-13-2011, 11:55 AM

Time will tell Jim

fuzebox40 · 11-13-2011, 12:16 PM

I'm thinkin a missguided cross-eyed possum made his nest up in there. I mean that happens all the time...right?...right?
