After sending it back on the recall it was a fun little gun. Mine would shoot just about anything and was surprisingly accurate. It will accept Ruger 10/22 mags so a 50 shot .22 pistol was fun. I was hurtin for cash and let it go for far below what it was worth. If you can find one reasonable and some 25 or 50 round mags for it, do it.
ammo eh?? Why is that? It fails to load just about every time first time. The older one worked before but now they both do the same thing. Still, if one of them wants to go full auto I would keep it just the way it is because someday someone will come looking for one in original condition with flaws and all and it will be worth a lot more I think . Kinda like the old rugers. Actually the second (postban) one that I got was that I bid on it and actually won it. Didn't really need it though. How many of you who got yours to work tried to bumpfire it like in that hell fire video (with or without that spring)? Its a cool little gun I would dare say fits the definition of a so called 'saturday night special'. Special Ed maybe. Nice to have over the mantle though as a dust collector. As for the firing pin spring, here is an auction for one if you are interested: One of the worst guns I ever owned.Dang,I didn't realize how old this thread was! Well the problem is when intratec made your gun they made the ejector rod, if you will, too small. If you pull the bolt out of the gun you will see a small piece of plastic protruding from the plastic housing that has your trigger and hammer parts in it. This piece protrudes toward the magazine well. This is what knocks the empty casing off the ejecter on the bolt face throwing it clear of the ejector port..... BUT since it is too small the casing is cast out too late causing JAMS not good unless some bread is handy. SOOOOO we take a 3/16 allen wrench and cut a straight piece to .620 of an inch. drill a 3/16 hole in the end of the plastic ejector, and drill almost through but stop just short, if you punch through your screwed. Now when I say drill in I mean the hole should face the hole your bullet goes in, its not rocket science... Now you only want .416 sticking out of the plastic. Once you have the correct measurement you will want to bend the allen wrench piece, take it out of the ejector to do this, so that it is up against the bolt where the plastic piece would be. I suggest taking the plastic insert out and putting the bolt on top so you can see where they line up, the hammer will have to be removed so you can set them on top of each other. Do NOT let the allen wrench drag on the bolt. NOW this only works right off for Butler Creek HOT LIPS magazines. For other magazines such as the Steel Lips you will have to take a dremel grinder and do the following..... open top, remove bolt, STARE at the allen protruding from ejector, while STARING stick your magazine in until it hits the allen wrench. This is where you need to take your grinder and grind where the wrench hits. Grind ONLY where the wrench hits until you can stick the magazine in WITHOUT moving the wrench. Take care in your grind as too much to the right will cause the bullets to no longer be held down. NOW the steel lips + the wrench = PERFECTION. Intratec simply made the ejector too short. Oh and as for bullets go the MINI MAG CCI are the best to load. However with the ejector problems fixed I have been able to feed the new federal semi auto load .22 LR MADE for reliable feeding(so the box says) with no problem and they are about $15 for 325 as opposed to $21 for 300 Mini mag.
