It also includes a firing pin spring. Clean out the extractor also. Can't hurt!

Yes, it is the same recoil spring as the Colt Junior. Here's a link for the recoil spring: https://www.gunsprings.com/COLT/JUNIOR%20(ASTRA)/cID1/mID1/dID76

I'd clean out the firing pin channel and inspect the firing pin for chips, uneven wear, etc. The firing pin spring could be the wrong one but it being weak would not cause it to not fire. If it jams after firing then I'd bet it's the recoil spring or a bad extractor. Remove the extractor and see...

Misfired as in? No ignition? Didn't load? Didn't extract? Didn't eject? Stovepipe? We can help with a little more info, hopefully.

The only difference I am aware of is many thought the other chambering, .25ACP, would work for the .22 Short. That is not true. The 2 different calibers do not interchange. So make sure you buy a .22 Short magazine and you should be good to go.

The first thing I would do is change the recoil spring. I can't see all of his mags going bad at one time.

I found it easy, and cheap, to change out the screws for a better look. Not worth frothing at the mouth over.... I thought it was the "Taurus" bull stamp, actually.

I believe that circular mark on the top is a proof mark, not a staking mark. I've never seen a staked Llama firing pin pin.

I have a Colt AR22 (made by Walther) that looks like an AR but is really just a look-a-like. It functions well and does what it is meant to do which is shoot 22LR and create some fun. I purchased a dedicated 22LR upper from PSA which I put on a standard AR lower and that thing is accurate and...

Sell the Sistema and get a real 1911. If you get the HK you will eventually buy another 1911 anyways. You can get a nice 1911 for the same $700.

OP, you mentioned an original Hi Power. Does that mean an older model with the external extractor or an original HI Power with the internal extractor? My Hi Power is the Inglis model from 1944. It was redone to a more modern look but kept the original design. It has terrible sights and the...

I love my .22s. Besides being cheap trigger time, they are just fun to shoot!

I'm betting it is a serial# issue as stated. Perhaps the serial# was not logged into the system or someone with dyslexia entered it in wrong. It may not have shown up 'in stock' when scanned or shown 'sold' yet it was sitting on the counter. The serial# on the box may not have matched the gun...

Does this schematic from Numrich explain anything?
