Rifle Jam

[Badlands Walker]

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.

[Slim Silver]

In what way did it jam?

[Badlands Walker]

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

[Arcey]

Ya talkin' a '92?



..

[Badlands Walker]

Yes Sir.  It's an EMF Hartford 1892 Carbine in .45LC

[Arcey]

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..

[Badlands Walker]

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

[Arcey]

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

Ah yes!  Rifle Jam!  It's great on toast in the morning!

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

[Badlands Walker]

  You said it pard!

Have a Winchester in 357 da 92 likes to cycle at a certain speed any faster or slower it jambs.

Arcey didn't really say that, did he? Did he?

[Arcey]

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.

[Badlands Walker]

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

[Four-Eyed Buck]

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
