Model 12 feeding problem - help!

Post by Guest »

Hello Remington Fans-

I recently acquired a nice model 12 and promptly took it to the range to see how it'd shoot.

During the session - shooting a variety of .22 LR ammo I noted that it would tend to hang-up when cycling and fail to chamber the round. It was only 60% successful in chambering with hollow-point ammo. Using rounds that I'd put a nominal flat point on - it probably would only chamber 5% of the time. RN ammo was considerably better but was still only 90% range to chamber.

Are there any know tune-up tricks to improve the feeding for this arm? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks-

Sky C.
