Misfires in 22 mag, carbon buildup?

[McCraggen]

So my chiappa little badger just decided to start doing the click thing to me, I have put a fair few rounds through it, if i recock the hammer it goes off on the second strike.

Can carbon buildup cause this?

morning, try another brand, if same thing happens, have
a gun smithy clean the bolt assembly or go to the internet
for assembly and disassembly of the bolt. gbot tum

Absolutely! Rimfires are notorious for this. Try giving the bolt face(firing pin/extractors) a thorough cleaning and light lube.

Figures need cleaning and cn develop carbon rings and was build up. Clean the bore, chamber and bolt and firing pin.

I have heard of people have failures to fire caused by dry firing a rimfire.

The firing pin hammers a spot on the rim of the chamber deep enough to keep the priming compound from being squished enough to ignite.

I know the problem can be fixed. I hope this is not the problem the OP is having.

Nope its a new gun and havent dry fired it at all!

Try cleaning it thoroughly as mentioned. Start with the simple stuff first
