result of using a damaged or defective magazine, an accumulation of dirt, residue

or oil which impedes the operation of the mechanism of the rifle, or specific

ammunition which may have slightly different dimensions or characteristics.

A complete cleaning of a dirty or oily rifle will eliminate feeding problems gener-

ated by the accumulation of oil, dirt or powder residue. If your magazine is clean,

and in working order with no apparent damage, try other brands of 22 LR ammu-

nition. In some instances, different ammunition will perform differently.

If using other brands does not alleviate the problem, the rifle has been thor-

oughly cleaned, and “jamming” still continues, send the

unloaded rifle and

unloaded magazine (do not send ammunition with the rifle) with a letter advis-

ing us of the problem, to the attention of Thompson/Center Arms Repair Dept.,

Farmington Rd, Rochester, NH 03867

action should be opened to remove any cartridge from the chamber. Check the

bore for obstructions, and check the entire rifle for evidence of damage. If dam-
