Hi Guys,

Here is an update to the .22lr story.

Went to Springvale last night, all going well around 70 rounds through and then I had a jam.

Bloody pill just would not come out of the action and it eventually went behind a plate and that was that.

I took it to the shop they have there and the guy said " wow that's not supposed to happen", "better take that back to where you got it from".

Well took it back to the LGS today and I was not in a good mood, (a bit concerned that a live round was stuck in the action.

I handed over the gun and it was promptly taken out the back to be fixed.

When it returned I was told, not one but two round were rammed in the action, (NOT HAPPY JAN), I new about one but the other one must of jammed earlier and I had been cycling the action with a live round jammed in there.

I was not happy to take the gun back and I told him so, so he said would you like you'r money back or a credit, no arguing, no hassle, no problems.

I was stoked so I exchanged it for a Marlin XT22 LR Synthetic stock and Stainless barrel.

I know it is not done to name and shame on here but a huge shout out to Miall's Gun Shop in Frankston they were great and deserve more business.

Nice outcome after the jam.

Back to the range today with the Marlin now?

I wish, had to put in a new PTA, lever action to a bolt action, , and as it was near closing time on Friday I will have to wait till Monday.

Will try and get out on Monday to Springvale.

That's a serious effort to get 2 stuck in the pipe Muddy.

You kicking the bolt closed with your feet, or what's the story?

I was minding my own business popping and few rounds in the paper.
I had one dud round but no jams. The had a spend cartridge chambered and one in the tube, I opened the tube to load a round and when I opened the action to load the next round it named. I backed the lever slightly and the next round also entered the breach, this caused the first round to go over the internal plate and fall to the bottom of the action.
I was aware of all this happening, I was not aware that somehow another round had fallen earlier in the session, I had been cycling and firing the gun with a round jammed in the bottom of the action. (VERY FRIGHTENING). I am so happy to exchange it for the Marlin XT-22.
