After buying a new mag cleaning everything and pulling my hair out, your video fixed my feeding issue. Thank you and hope this video helps someone else as well since it’s already seemed to help a few!
thanks for posting this video, i bought one of these several years back and always been using it as a single shot, now i'm going to pull it out and see what i can do with it! thanks again!
These are cool little rifles. I had a few back in the day when you could buy them for $50 at dunhams sports/ They probably cost a few hundo now. Great shooters and they sorta looked like a mini mauser. I had a similar problem with one of mine and all I could think to do with it was take out the firing pin and file both sides down a bit and it worked. Then I experiented, again with a file, and thos took a long time, weeks. amd made another firing pin out of a nail and it worked for a few shots but the nail was of softer metal and didnt last long. I sure wish I could find a couple of these
I was wondering if this was my problem or if the cheap mag I bought caused the problem. I checked it and there’s some buildup of grease deep in the channel that’s adding to the problem however the mag also seats so low the bottom round won’t feed unless I push up on the mag. These rifles really are picky but they shoot phenomenally.
There are several possible problems. It almost sounds like the magazine well might have wiggled loose from the rifle. It is attached with screws to the receiver. Check that it is fully seated and that the screws are reasonably tight (they don't need to be crazy tight). The next thing to check is that the magazine latch is installed correctly, it can be installed backwards and the magazine will sit lower and not feed.
On my M69 i believe i have an extractor problem. Its a very similar feed issue, though i can force the bolt to chamber. The firing pin moves freely, but when i try to manually simulate how the 22 engages the bolt (the rim of the case sliding under the extractor.) Its very tight and hangs up on the extractor.
Thank you very much indeed. Just picked one up in an action, exc. condition but I noticed the same problem. Hey! Go to RUclips and there you were. Thank you very much.

Thank you from saving me (and this rifle) from a trip to the pawn shop! I was about to give up on it.
Big Help! Pulled my bolt and realized that my firing pin is a little bound up. Need to pop the pin and do some cleaning. Thanks!
Thank you. Your video was extremely helpful
Damn man, I been beating my head trying to figure this out. Thank you so much.

I had to file a notch in my bolt release to hold the firing pin back. It would slide out on chambering and push the round sideways.

I just bought a 15 round magazine when do I get email updates about the shipment
Customer service questions should go through the website so they can find you. RUclips is public so no order information can be exchanged here anyway
Jammer to the max!!!!
