If a rimfire pistol fails to function flawlessly, there are four things to check in seeking a remedy for the situation. First, make sure that the action is clean and properly (but not overly!) lubricated. During firing, autoloaders have unburned powder deposited in the action that can result in enough gunk so that the bolt does not cycle smoothly. Second, check the loading ramp that leads into the chamber. It should be smooth and correctly shaped. Third, check the lips on the magazine. If a magazine is dropped on a hard surface, it is possible for the lips to become bent. Since this is the area from which the cartridges are fed into the chamber, the bent magazine may not allow the pistol to function correctly. Fourth, try different ammunition. Some variation in dimensions between types of ammunition is inevitable, and different types of lubricant may make a difference in feeding. If these simple factors do not solve the problem, have the pistol checked by a competent pistolsmith.
