This is a stainless target (bull) barrel 22/45(MK II), 1993 vintage by the serial number lookup.
The last 2 trips to the range I've had a stuck case that did not extract on firing. First time thought it was just a dirty chamber. This second time removing the case with a rod it was pretty tight. I notice 5 rings around the front half of the case. Continued shooting 30 rounds with no more FTE. I compared the length of the stuck case vs one that did not stick and found it 0.012" longer at 0.622. The "rings" remind me of jamming a too long case in a die when reloading. All ammo was Remingtion 22 Golden Bullet hollow points.
Anyone know if the target barrel 22/45 has a tight chamber similar to the 10/22 target that could not use stingers?
Just found that SuperX would not drop freely into the chamber and one did not extract (unfired). CCI minimags fell right in.
Now to the recent thread on extractors, this is the original extractor. I may consider SGW recommendation and upgrade the extractor.
Thanks for any ideas.
