snipers eye Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 hi folks,a question to anyone that has the above .22lr,i bought one a few weeks ago,i find it very good for the price,and accurate for my needs. now the question is do any of you find that the magazine can pop out very easy with the slightest touch of the little lever,?i have almost lost the mag a few times,is there any way to combat this,i was going to tie a piece of string round the mag and trigger guard,any suggestions,thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 The reviews on this .22 lr are very poor .with a wide range of diffent problems including total failure and gun blowing up .which I take means ruptured barrel .

Ultrastu Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Yeah. I looked and virtually all the reviews were very bad .I've no personal experience so I don't know .just going on what I've read .fwiw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipers eye Posted September 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 thanks for replys,but none address my issue........reason i bought the .22lr carbon wrapped barrel version is my nephew has one,no issues with it at all,except the same issue i asked about,but he dont mind that as he does alot of target shooting,and hardly any field work,so wont worry about losing the mag.he has , i would say thousands of rounds through his,finds it very accurate with eley subs,he done his own trigger job on it,i fired from it and liked it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
