I'm still pretty much a novice to this whole guns thing (but getting more knowlegeable every day thanks to you folks). I had my first feed problem on my Ruger Mk III 22/45 over the weekend. It looks like the spent round failed to eject cleanly causing the new round to fail to chamber properly. It was pretty easy to clear, and I went on to shoot another 100+ rounds without a problem.
The question is; should I be worried? Is this thing just something that happens now and then with 22LR ammo? I've put about 1000 rounds through the gun, and this is the first problem I've had.
The only thing is that when I clean my gun I tend to be a little too liberal with the lubricant that I apply after cleaning. I wonder if this could be an issue? How much lubricant should I apply?
Thanks for your advice
