Had this issue a lot lately when I took the 795 out. Lots of failure to extract with Federal Bulk 525 box and CCI Mini-Mag (the good stuff). Ammo appeared to be good as no issues with 10/22. This happened on several trips to the range where the rifle was cleaned before hand. Maybe I need to oil the bolt more? or problem with the bolt? Anyone else have this problem?
This is 25rds of thunderbolts thru my 795. It eats everything and accurate. Sent from my iPhone using Marlin Forum
I was having the same problem and it was pretty bad. Did a lot of searching and couldn't find much advice except to keep shooting to break it in. In desperation I got some polishing compound and polished the bolt, and polished the bolt....etc. Next time I shot it I had no problems and after about 500 rds w/o cleaning I have one FTE.
Oh interesting. Got a picture? I've seen some in the past like that. Did you just do that until it shined? I might consider trying that.
Sorry, no pics. I polished it till I was tired of polishing it and got it smooth and shiny. Something worked for me. Either that or it just happened to get broken in at the right time. I think it was the polishing though, lol.
I have had a lot of issues mostly with federals of any kind and some cci. The Remington's have had no issues, Aquila no issues, and winchester (older box) no issues. I have shot these through my marlins and Umarex guns and had the issues. My wife has a Ruger pistol and my 10/22's don't seem to have any issues. I think the tolerance on Feds is off but I don't have anything old to mic it with. Feds have been the worst.
