The Galloway cleared mine up, even though I barely had any issues which could be Ammo related. Actually shot 200rds of the 333 pack last week and still was 100%...Blazer has wax on it and builds up after 100 or so rounds.

that's pretty normal if your running it that wet and using that ammo.
I think they changed the way the take down lever holds. Made it stiffer.
The new gun works great and haven't had any issues. But i'm not shooting Blazers through it.
But I shoot everything else. Even the cheep 1400 pcs tub of bullets.
it wasn't even that wet. Just a little bit of factory lube on it still and I added some tw25b grease (white stuff in the pic). I just think by nature .22lr is just filthy stuff. But yea makes it easier for fouling to stick to.
Ammo was CCI, also picked from FS.
I don't like using grease.
It traps too much crap that causes more ware .
Mini Mags, or something else? Mine likes Mini Mags. Could also try changing out the recoil spring and guide rod to see if that smooths things out.
Kind of funny that I'm about to congratulate you on your gun working without a problem..
But here goes, "Congratulations!"
I know how you feel though. When I first had problems with my SR22 it sucked. And now that mine works great I always wonder if I'm going to have problems again.

Blazer ammo was pretty much making my SR22 explode. The take down lever would pop open and then the next round fired would eject the slide and spring rod down range.
Sent it back to Ruger twice before they finally destroyed and gave me a new one.

Mine blew up for 2nd time yesterday. 1st time with CCI MM. 2nd time Thunderbolts. The rim blows and separates from the case leaving the destroyed rim brass on the ramp and the remaining case brass stuck in the breach. Powder burns out and fouls the entire inside of gun and hands. This one is going back to Ruger. I bought it new in December 2018.
Same with mine. CCI is the way to go.My SR22 is picky on ammo. I have had problems with PMC. CCI and Remington no problems. I have some Federal and Winchester but I have not tried them yet.
