Ok guys so before Memorial weekend we went and picked up a Walther P22 from FD for the fiancee. That same night (Thursday) I cleaned it thoroughly and cursed thoroughly when trying to re-assemble it. Whoever has tried this knows what I'm talking about.
Anyway, Monday after returning from DC, we went to the range to try it out. We shot somewhere around 150-200 rds of Federal .22LR through it and the feeding problem was somewhere at the rate of 60%. I'd shoot it than have to cycle the slide manually. In most cases the slide is stuck in a halfway position.
It was very frustrating specially to my fiancee (it's her gun). When safely trying to rack the slide back and forth it felt like it was catching somewhere along the line (not a hard stuck catch but more like as if it was rubbing somewhere)....
I am in Toronto now but will be flying back home tomorrow and I want to see if I can fix the issue before having to call Dennis over @ FD. Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you
