44terryberry Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 I take it to the range every week,using different ammo. Sometimes it functions great..the next time, with same ammo,it has FTF all the time. BTW, I clean it flawlessly each time. Its like a woman-I never know what to expect!
rodent.22 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Posted July 12, 2011 make sure the firing pin is clean, and remember that touch of oil. How many rounds thru it?
techmike Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Hey 44TB, sorry to hear about your problems. I would suggest getting a few bulk boxes of Federal at WalMart, I have found that ammo to be reliable and accurate in my Colt. (with the exception of one box that Federal offered to replace) Adjust your mainspring in 4 complete turns from flush. Make sure the rifle is clean and lubed, and don't forget Rodent's advice of cleaning the firing pin. Get 500 to a 1000 rounds of that ammo through it and see if that settles it down.TM
Cgood311 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Posted July 15, 2011 fired 250 rounds of Federal in mine yesterday for the first time. Not a single miss fire or issue of any kind.
M4rk Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 44terryb. i know wut u mean. this happens when u clean the rifle.. sometimes, sumthing isnt in the right place.. or sumthing wasnt tight enuff... or in my case.. i didnt oil it "good" enuff, but after u sort evrything out and u take ur time and redo the cleaning and make sure everythings right, tight, and oiled up... u can go the whole afternoon with no failures. just like i did today.
