    Default 22lr gunsmith

    Any recommendations for a GS that can tune a 22/45? Local preferred, Denver and north ideal.
    I can?t get it to run without chocking on at least one round every magazine or two.
    Or if there are kits that can help tune it up let me know. It?s stock so far and extremely frustrating.

    Try different ammunitions- they can be finicky.

    I agree with BP.

    I had my MKIII out this week. It ran like crap with cheap Browning junk ammo. I switched to Stingers and 100 rounds with no problems.

    I did. I went through a few different brands and agree that they are finicky. But best it went was 1 ftf/fte in 2 mags.
    I will try some mini mags next time and see if that cures it. But I hate unreliable guns.

    Browning 22LR seems to be especially crappy

    Mini mags definitely runs better in my MKII, MKIII, and 22/45.

    If you really want to try and "tune" it, Volquartsen has a number of parts available for 22/45's. I have no personal experience with them, but I have run Volquartsen parts in 10/22's with good success.

    Might inspect the feed ramp for burrs rough spots and buy a couple new mags. I have a mark ii and 22/45 with the volq parts kits they are a step above assembling an ar but not bad

    My issue was purely FTF due to ammo hanging up in mags.

    Have since run a couple thousand of the bulk Federal and Automatch without any issue.

    That?s good info.

    Found my notes on ammo from that session

    Obama era bulk pack, failure drills, did not ignite or low power
    RIA yellow box, 2 failed per mag
    Win super X some issues 1300fps?
    Remington high velocity good.

    But still Rem had an issue every couple of mags. Super X is my usual go to but it doesn?t work here.
