Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I have 3K both suppressed and standard bbl. IF they are not cleaned and lubed you will have issues. My best investment was buying an ultra sonic cleaner, especially running suppressed rimfire.
Fed bulk pack, brown box fed Auto Match, white box, the 335 boxes of remington. CCI blaser and remington sub sonics all work well in the 2 i have. YMMV
i only have problems after about 500 rounds or so (when it is dirty). i have all walther mags, some have the finger grip and some dont, can use remington ammo or anything else, no issues. I just have to keep it clean.
+1 Remington bulk pack
Unreliable ammo + unreliable gun = bang every time
I just don't get it
Ok... I have a P22 and the kids shoot it a lot. I shoot federal bulk pack hollow points and CCI mini mag ammo. Both have worked fine for me.
rem 22 LR is netorious for too much wax on the bullet and loose fitting bullets. I have seen a lot of guns puke on those things. If you have any wax built up in the chamber or feed ramp, it will puke.
The last bulk pack of Win 22 HPs I looked at were pretty waxie and had fairly inconsistent hollow points. I sell ammo at walmart 5 times a week. I see a LOT of 22 rounds.
Lastly, clean and lube the gun. It wants lube on the rails. Don't put that sissy rem oil, CLP or other thin garbage on it. Put motor oil or ATF fluid on the rails. I'm partial to synthetic 10w30 myself. DON'T get lube into the safety selector or hammber block mechanisms. Too much oil in it and the safety can flip to safe during the recoil of shooting. Keep it dry and it will work fine.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Not every gun and not every box of factory ammo are made equal. There are variances in manufacture, especially in the arena of 22LR firearms.Originally Posted by villageidiot
BTW, karma is a bitch. Careful what you throw out there. Next thing you know, your gun will help you 'get it'.

good advice from all
If you try to fix america politically, you will be dead before you step up to the microphone.
It is amazing the cost of syn motor oil vs. " firearm specific" oil and how well the syn works. I'm about out of my qt after who knows how long.
All my 22 pistols work well using it as a lube, just a light drop on each rail keeps them going.
I'm surprised to hear about these being finicky. Walther did have to revamp their mags several years ago, so if you have the old mags that could be part of it. You should be able to google it and get the part number for the improved mags. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll get into my safe and get the info to you. I've owned 4 of these and other than the first which had the old mags, they have all functioned great with all ammo from CCI to any bulk to Remington subsonic.

the one I had had a definite liking for Stingers, clean or dirty, but my old standard model eats about anything
