hi
reading this thread since its inception inspired me to buy my own .22 lr

IMG_0653.JPG

the problem i'm facing is that the spent casings don't eject and have to be pried loose with a screwdriver
live ammo ejects okay, so i belief the catcher is okay
so why does the ammo get stuck after it has been fired
ammo i'm using is KF
should i try with phoren ammo

regards

i tried the imported ones , they are also not ejected
so have problem is either with catcher or barrel bore is tight
the clamp spring over the catcher arms is loose and doesn't push back one of t arms
is this spring readily available or will a gunsmith have to make one

deepinder: Your problem is most likely that the rifle has a firing pin that is too long, and the rifle has been dry-fired.This will raise a burr at the chamber mouth. When fired, the case expands onto that burr, and the extractor slips off the rim. The firing pin should not extend beyond the rim of the bolt face with the bolt uncocked. That seems to be a problem with the IOF .22. The burr can be removed easily enough by a gunsmith, if you can find one; or a tool to do so can easily be made on a lathe.

recently got rifle liecense is there any .22lr rifle apart from IOF.22lr available within 60k price.? what types of .22 lr brand ammo available here,? are cci stingers ammo available in UP.? can .22lr fired from rifle can bring fox,or similar animal down in single shot?

[TwoRivers]

carbine: Bullet placement is the key, not caliber. The .22 RF is quite capable of killing something much larger than a fox with correct bullet placement. But unless I am mistaken, killing foxes will get you in trouble with the law. I don't think that they are on the list of vermin that can be killed.

apart from IOF .22LR is there any rifle within 60k. i urgently need .22lr rifle

[carbine]

is IOF.22LR has good accuracy or could be used for pliking or hunting

[TwoRivers]

is IOF.22LR has good accuracy or could be used for pliking or hunting

Accuracy depends on the individual rifle, and the particular cartridge used. Yes, .22RF can have very good accuracy at the range it is intended for. As to the second part of your question, in countries were hunting is permitted, but NOT in INDIA, it is a good cartridge for small game or varmints at short range, as long as you can place your bullet.

is there any .22lr rifle apart from IOF .22 that is available around 60k

[sa_ali]

it depends on your luck, i saw some where that the BSA tubeshot might come around that range.

[carbine]

i am getting BSA Sportsman .22LR 15 shot tubular magazine in mint condition for 45k. whether i should buy BSA or IOF.22LR Rifle .which one has better accuracy.are tubular magazine reliable

[sa_ali]

WOW, 45k, i think thats a great deal if its really mint, which i doubt.

We have bsa 15 tubeshoot for more than 30 yrs in the family, extensively used by my grandfather then my mamma, never faced any issue in firing, accuracy or maintenance. If i had to buy it, i would have bought it.

yea there is one issue, check the gun as the bsa sporter, i dont recall seing any provision for Scope mounting. So make sure to check that if you are interested in scope mounting, as the IOF has that option.

Pics would really help.
