Title: Rifle Jam
Post by: Badlands Walker on September 19, 2005, 06:56:22 PM
I took my two new Hartford guns out Sunday & did some shootin'.  The EMF Winchester Carbine jammed on me twice in about 30 rounds.  Is this normal for a new gun, cuz it is very stiff & I did try some rapid fire with the lever action & thought perhaps I didn't get the cycle complete before pullin' the trigger, thus causing the jam.  Is this possible or should I have the carbine looked at?

Much obliged.

Both times, the shell got caught going into the chamber when I quick checked the lever.

A '92 has to be treated like a hard-ta-please woman.  Ya gottah slam it 'round.

Ya look at the one I used ta use yer gonna see the lever is bent.  I retired the thing.  Others are easier to get along with..

So it's typical of this model?  Should I have it looked at at a gunsmith or just break it in first?

Shoot a few more boxes thru it before ya take it to a smith.  Work it like ya mean it.

Winchester Rifle Jam is the best with the most flavor.  Colt and Remington are ok, but Winchester is much gooder!

Never tried beatin' on one with a skillet, Annie.  Might werk but I'm thinkin' it could be hard on the wood.  That'll be a shame 'cuz they're prolly the best lookin' rifles out there.

I agree!  I think the 92' is the finest lookin' cowboy rifle there is! ;)

CK, I'd try running that thing a little more. Short stroking a '92 will result in a jam. Try to get used to the works a little more and see if it doesn't work in a little. If not, Nate isn't too far away from you..........Buck 8) ::) ;)

I'd prefer the Pistol Preserves.

Ah Yes!  Pistol Preserves.  I've heard of those, but have never tried them!  May I presume that .45 would have a stronger flavor than say a .32-20?

Well...There's that old joke about this: 

Private Perkins:  "Sergeant...what do I do if my parachute malfunctions?"
Sergeant Rock:  "Turn it into Supply and get another one!"
