The new, long-awaited 22 cal. . . .

Are these the casings of the new, long-awaited 22 cal. rimfire?

Can anyone explain the “double base” on these shells?​

Looks more like an out of battery situation.
May be time to clean the chamber.............

That's what it looks like to me as well.

You are so right Jim, I’m ashamed to admit! I don’t know what happened many years ago when I cleaned and put the pistol away but I failed to clean the barrel. The barrel is usually the first item I clean but not this time. The gun looked great, cleaned and oiled and before loading or shooting I always check to see that no obstruction is in the barrel.

When I had the gun raised to target level I thumbed the slide stop down and “BLAM” ! ! The gun when off . . . I thought to myself “I can’t believe I had my finger on the trigger, I’ve never done that before!” The casing ejected fine and it chambered the next round. I ejected that round and eyeballed the ammo and gun and couldn’t see the trouble, so I thought I had my finger on the trigger and must have pulled it when I thumbed the slide stop down.

I should have found the ejected casing but didn’t and loaded another magazine. This time I know my trigger finger was nowhere inside the trigger guard. When I raised the gun and thumbed the slide stop down “BLAM” again! Well that was it, I new that the round was firing before the shell was completely seated so away went the gun and when I found the fired casings they were proof of the “slamfire”. The casing not seating in the chamber and the bolt slaming, crushing and firing the round.

When I went to clean the barrel I couldn’t believe that the small amount of carbon buildup had caused this. That buildup was so hard from sitting for years that it took quite a while to get rid of it, it was like cement!

I think I’ve learned my lesson, inspect more thoroughly and run a patch down the bore, it only takes a few minutes.

Wierd. What gun was it in? Just curious. Those must be the new Double Base Super Ignition Rimfire rounds!!

curlymaple42 ~ Pictured is my bullseye gun, it has been flawless as far as accuracy and dependability is concerned. The trouble I had was my fault alone, not any fault of the gun. The High Standard Supermatic Citation is a excellent competition gun and has never given me a hint of trouble over many years.

I misstated in my original post that I “thumbed” the slide stop down when I actually used the index finger of my weak hand to manipulate the slide stop.​

Well, that is interesting. I must admit, ahem, that I may know of such things through *personal* experience LOL! Actually, my M11/9 TELLS me when it is time to clean the chamber by doing that to my 9mm brass. I spoke with Gordon Ingram at Knob Creek and he verified that a dirty chamber will cause pre-ignition and OOB discharge. I have a WerBell Sionics suppressor and sometimes we get so carried away shooting that we neglect to scrub the chamber and, well, you know what happens! Heres a vid of TikTock shooting my M/11

Heres a vid of me without the suppressor

The sound sig is MUCH more pronounced in person

jim/boston ~ I didn't know 9mm could crush down to give a double base appearance like the 22 did. I'd like to see a photo of a crushed 9mm if possible. Thanks for the videos they're rather interesting. Where did you acquire the stock for that rascal, if I may ask?

 

[jim/boston]

I don't think I've ever photographed it, but it has happened on more than one occasion. I bought the stock at a gun show in the early 90's; the wire stock used to scare me that it would collapse and I (or one of my shooting buds) would have wild-assed M11/9 throwing lead around at 1000 rpm. Didja notice the 50 round Lanchester mag conversion?
I found this pic online; not mine but same situation

 

[cookingaway]

looks like a 9mm that was fired out of a 40.cal

This is a good reason to clean your guns after every range session!
Glad no one was hurt, 6hold.
