I own a Winchester Model 9422M XTR lever action .22 magnum. I bought the gun new around 1990 and have been using it every hunting season since.
The problem is this: When I fill the tube fed magazine to the max with shells, the first .22 mag shell will not make in into the chamber with a slow, gentle feed. If I give a quick "Rifleman" lever action it feeds fine. When I fill the tube with only take for instance, 5 shells, the round will not enter the chamber unless I give it a quick, no nonsense lever throw. When new, you could make a easy, quiet, lever cock to put a shell in the chamber. What is the problem and what needs to be fixed. Thanks
