Beretta28g Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Never had any problems with winnies exept a duff mag that would not allow rounds to chamber properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I had a winnie fail on me a couple of weeks ago. Guess the odd one or two is inevitable occasionally no matter which Make you shoot! GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampire Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 What a job :o its a scirocco mod,the first baffle came out ok but they then got harder and ended up making a tool to remove the remainder It took me ages to clean all the build up off,which again got worse the closer to the barrel end and the last 4 were showing signs of deforming in the shape of a ring round the centre of the baffle. Pulled a bore snake through the barrel,then set to work on the chamber with some bore cleaner and cotton buds. I now have one clean rifle that needs testing in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 in connection with misfires, remember to keep gun pointed in a safe direction and wait a while before raising the bolt and when you do raise that bolt do so in a safe manner (ie gun laid out on its side with no bady part rear of the bolt). even a rimfire has the potential to have a hang fire and blow the bolt back into your face just as you lift it. most likely your problem was crud and the issue is now resolved, just though it worth mentioning incase it was a faulty batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codling99 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 i think its down to not closing bolt firmly enough,had it happen to my cz a few times when im trying to be quiet sliding bolt forward,never happens when i just slam it forward,maybe a coincidence,i use cci s .

rtaylor Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) How often does it mis-fire? And have you tried other ammo? My 452 was mis-fireing a lot, every 4 or 5 rounds, driving me mad. Took it back to the gun shop and they replaced the striker spring. Haven't had a problem since. You can buy the springs from Yodave on ebay, about £12. I think the springs are 10% more powerful than standard. Worth a go. I've just got the trigger kit from him for mine. What a difference! I would also try cleaning the bolt out, there are videos on how to strip them on youtube. It could be some muck around the firing pin.

ian_in_the_midlands Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I once had a problem of misfiring with mine. I had caused it by greasing the spring inside the bolt. Removed the grease and replaced it with a light coating of oil and problem fixed. Probably nothing do do with your problem as it would not effect chambering a round... but may be of use to someone :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Just gave it a trial run and no problems,it is the only misfire i have had in 800 rounds,think it just needed a clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
