[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 2940851, member: 5316"] Out of the box, mine sucked. My go-to ammo for .22s has always been mini-mags. It was a problem with this gun. The pin comes out if the rear sight. The rail and front sight screws need locktite. I hate the magazine trigger disconnect. It had ejection issues. I threw a bunch of Volquartsen parts at it and I love it now. It works great suppressed. I've shot steel challenge and a bowling pin shoot with it. I honestly don't know anything better in the class and bought this one knowing I would likely have to make some mods to it. 1) replace the front sight 2) Stake the pin in the rear sight 3) remove the loaded chamber indicator and install a filler plate 4) replace the extractor 5) remove the magazine trigger disconnect and install a bushing in its place. 6) remove the bolt release detent and spring (or replace it with the VQ release 7) de-burr and polish the factory firing pin or replace That should make it function. Other enhancements. VQ sear by itself will really help the feel of the trigger. I installed a complete trigger, hammer, disconnector, and sear package. The trigger in mine is now fantastic! Disassemble the magazines and polish them. There are several videos on it. I would not recommend modifying the feed lips like some show however. Extended base pads make engaging the mag much easier. I used the VQ units within the spring ejection feature. A bit overkill with the polishing and disconnect mod, but some insurance.[IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/uploads.tapatalk_cdn.com_20170101_da00e44de5b8a07e744e026b6440eaaf.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
