Picked up a really nice Walther Model 1 semi auto/bolt action rifle for a great price. Most I've seen are overpriced and possibly broken. I ran 2 boxes of Norma Tac-22 through it Sunday. Had some dud rounds [Norma seems to be hit and miss depending on the lot #]. Had problems in semi auto, only got 2 shots in a row out of 50 rounds. Didn't effect function in bolt action. I hope it's not the mag, they cost more the I paid for the rifle! I think it might be an ammo issue. I know high velocity ammo will break the rifle, the Norma is within spec. Would subsonic ammo be a better choice?      ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

I would give CCI Standard Velocity a go in it. If you have issues then I would say the gun/magazine it the issue. I presumed you cleaned it super well. I have a Marlin that gums up something wicked on occasion and the action just needs a really good soaking. The rest of the time it runs like a top. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

I cleaned the barrel & bolt head. Bought an owner's manual which hasn't arrived yet. Only manual I could find online is in Italian [Beretta sold these as Olympia rifles postwar]. I'll try shooting with some RWS Rifle 22lr I have laying around after I clean it more thoroughly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

My first step would be a complete disassembly and cleaning. It's probably just dirty. It would be cheap enough to try another ammo as well. | |||
