[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 767009, member: 39764"] Open the front of the feed lips just a bit with a pair of needle nose pliers and then burnish the front area with some fine crocous cloth. Ruger bangs the mags out so the lips are probably too tight. On the feed ramp, I use a cylindrical stone in 500 grit to polish that too. The bullets will feed better. Keep 'er oiled and give it back. Tell the owner (show) him how to pull the barrel and clean it properly. You should be good to go. The dowel pin that holds the loaded chamber indicator is a slip fit so you need to tell him to make sure it don't fall out when the barrel is pulled. All the mags insert hard because you have to overcome the spur spring pressure (thats the spring that rides the back of the mag well with the long, bent leg). I run Volks' extended mag releases on all mine. I can shoot a mag into the next shooting station if I want to.... not that I do. All the Ruger 22 semi auto pistols beg for hopping up...IMO. [/QUOTE]
