I have a family heirloom 22 ruger. I believe it is an original Mark. If I do a serial number search some.45 comes up.

Anywho, cleaned and took to range last trip. Jammed every other round. Ejecting brass would catch on loading round which would only make it 1/3 of the way into barrel.

Also had a few times pulling trigger and nothing fired.

If you shake it...it rattles, the barrel is not a tight fit on the assembly.

Finish is rusted as well.

Are there any Smith's in lafayette,or can I have Ruger fix and refinish?

Thoughts?

If you know how, take the gun and the magazine apart, clean and lube.

Sometime a sticky chamber will cause ejection/chambering issues on a .22. I had a Mark II that required a periodic scrub of the chamber with a bristle and cleaning solution to keep it running well.

Doesn’t hurt to clean old mags. The springs can get dirty and sticky with dust/dirt, which prevents smooth feeding.
