that is a lot of parts for a 22. how many rounds can you shoot before cleaning and do you have to break it down to get it clean enough for the next shoot?
In the owners manual it recommends using ammo that reaches muzzle velocity of 1300+ fps, jams or ff/fe may happen without it. My drum mag also works better when i use ammo in which the bullets don't have the checkering/belt around it. Cleaning all the factory grease out of the mechanism and then oiling it might help too as suggested here. From what i've read it seems that these guns also work better after you shoot 200-250 rnds thru them first to break it in.
@coltt218 ive shot several hundred rounds thru it now and seldom have any trouble. its more accurate than my colt (umarex) ar-15/22. its also a hell of alot easier to clean.
It just needed cleaning. Those two failure to feeds that you got after cleaning were due to the ammo most likely. It didnt like the feed profile of those. Sometimes you can keep shooting something that it doesnt like at first, then thats new profile can sometimes polish a place on the feed ramp and a few other spots and it will start working. Its like breaking in to a new shaped round.
im having the exact same problem with mine with the 30 stick mag. the 10 feeds flawlessly. i didnt strip it before firing. i jam every 3 or 4 rounds. accuracy is better than the m&p .22
@bctruck When i tore mine down i found that the spring for the extractor was exposed in the bolt. Thats where u could be getting the metal flakes. Not to mention the carbon thats going to build up on and in the extractor spring
@feedmewaffels no worrys about lead contamination. i got some sand bags around my well that i got from the mercury factory after they left town and went to china to open a new factory. i think they branched out into making toys as well.
@darkgt03 I can only speak from my experience with this gun. It's turned out to be very reliable and it's accuracy has actually surprised me. It's beenma blast but I would recommend a thorough and complete stripping and removing all factory grease before firing.
Had simular trouble but a failure to eject 98% or (48 out of 50 rnds jam) all tested with diffrent ammos (even fedral, all reccomended). Ive broken it down and cleaned it way too many time. Its not getting any better. They're is no breaking in period. 2 other people on my range are experincing the same. callled legacy now 5 times
well i got my ruger 10/22 put together about 3 weeks ago and i added a tapco generation 1 interfuse stock with a tapco front grip and tapco bipod added a midwest industries picatinny rail instead of the weaver mount that comes with it also i added a john mason muzzle brake doesnt do anything but sure is cool looking lol
i was about to say yeah if both are brand new it will take some break in time lol but for the most part you got it brother. love the puma wildcat to me its got to be the best looking factory 22 ive seen by far enjoy cant wait to see whats next
@skoal22005 Yeah I'm kinda surprised my self. I think in this case it was a combination of a brand new gun and crappy factory grease on everything. When I cleaned it all up I had a feeling that would make a difference.
@bctruck After you took apart the weapon, re-oiled it, and started to use the right magazines and ammunition, how reliable is this rifle? Im looking into buying one of these
@Scooter768 the rifle is reliable. i am still experiencing an occasional jam but with a high cap drum mag,a jam every now and then is acceptable in my opinion.they say the 30 round stick mags are flawless in feeding but as i said the occasional jam is infrequent enough that its worth it to get the drum mag. the gun is a blast to shoot and more accurate than i expected it to be. have fun!!!

OVERPRICED AND FULL OF NASTY GREASE, NOT A GOOD COMBINATION. SIG-522 CHEAPER AND ULTRA RELIABLE.

@TOMMYSURIA it only cost a little more than my colt ar 15/22 but it is twice the gun. much easier to do a full cleanup as well. nice caps by the way.
