.22LR barrel plugged up!

[7.62Surgeon]

Hey CmanT, you ever get your barrel cleared? I went to Guns Galore today and picked up 100 rounds of Super Colibri. Never got stuck in my barrel, not one. I did, however, notice that about 60% of the casings would not eject when tried to cycle the action. For some reason, the ejector is not holding on to the rim so i gotta send a rod down to push it out of my chamber after basically every shot.

Hey bro, nah I ain't had time to mess with it. Meant to bring it with me when I came up there a few weeks ago and take it over there to guns galore and forgot it, and have been busy down here every since. I'm gonna try and take it to one hole ace works out by the lake next time i'm up your way. glad you didn't have any problems with it. I shot it out of my ruger just fine for what it's worth.

Maybe so, but I am working on my second brick of them right now.

In over 600 rounds, through many old & new rifles, I have yet to have one stick in a barrel.

On my 2nd brick, too. No problems here, either. I will say that the Super Colibris seem to have some sort of coating on the bullet that accumulates in the barrel, though. I think too many people take it for granted that since there's no powder, there's no need for cleaning. I clean mine regularly just like every other gun I own and haven't had any problems.

Hey umm, you guys don't use hearing protection when you're shooting those things, right?

Super Colibris and CB Caps - Love 'em!

Pretty satisfying sitting on the back deck on a summer afternoon chasing a soda can. I usually do so with an old tube-mag Stevens bolt gun. It's quieter and more accurate than my springer air guns. The only noise you hear is the firing pin (tink) and the can when you hit it.
24" barrel. Never stuck one yet.
