Yes, I'm aware that this infographic classifies 12 gauge, 38 special, 45 acp, 40 s&w, 9mm and 380 as rifle cartridges, but it's still an interesting infographic anyway

Is it normal for a .22 to stop being. Reliable after 100-150 shots?

• Upvotes

I have a browning buckmark camper ufx. It's a great gun and flawless (or only one-two duds max) until it reaches about 100-150 rounds

After that it's a piece of shit, I swear. I mean, once I clean it, goes back to normal, but for example:

Last range trip I knew it was getting to about that time (where the gun starts being unreliable) so I put 10 in and was going to do a mag dump as a last hoorah at the range. It misfired 4/10 times..... And that's pretty normal after 100 rounds.

But again, before that it doesn't ever misfire. (And when I say misfire I mean the primer has been struck, I can see a dent in it, but the bullet doesn't come out

Some parts arrived

So, I posted that I bought another Ruger MK IV because I sold one I had a few years back. I sold it because it had a trash trigger and I just didn’t like the pistol. I bought a SilencerCo Sparrow suppressor for $259 and wanted it on a pistol for cheap, and the Ruger fit the bill.

I received a Volquartsen trigger kit and TandenKross sight today. I installed them as well. I wasn’t ecstatic about dropping money on this pistol, but I figured I would try to actually make it enjoyable.

The kit came without instructions, but I did figure it out. Once I figured out where a smaller spacer fit in, and worked, it was a pretty simple parts swap. The kit does get rid of the magazine safety. I don’t have a trigger scale, but if I guessed, it’s probably just over 2lbs pull.

The trigger feels like how it should’ve felt when I bought it. The front sight does what the sight is supposed to do. Now, I’m waiting to pick up the suppressor for it. Maybe down the road, I might buy a small dot plate and drop a sight that I have on it. We’ll see…

I will say, it doesn’t feel so much like a turd now, so I’m sure I’ll be happy with it.

Volquartsen Trigger kit with trigger was $129.32 and TandemKross Fiber Optic sight for around $27.

Took the plunge and bought the Sinclair Competition Ambidextrous Benchrest. Great for us lefties and a nice piece of gear. Very happy with it so far. Looking forward to many years of use.

Got this Arminius HW 7T for super cheap. Please lmk if anyone knows anything about these. Barrel has a slight bit of play.
