swamprat Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I have a S&W 61-3 22lr that will feed,fire,extract,and eject but the slide doesn't travel far enough to the rear to recock the pistol. Any suggestions on what could be the problem? I've tried several different types of ammo and it still does the same thing. I believe the recoil spring is orginal but don't know for sure as I just bought this POS. Any help deeply appreciated.

karlunity Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hello Swamp. CCI minimags may do the trick. If not there are a few things: Make sure the chamber is clean...polish and lube the rails. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called manufacture, they suggested 100 rds of Mini-Mags for a break-in and now it works so far with every brand of 22RF I've used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamprat Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks for thr advice guy's. I tried some mini-mags and they made the gun cock but it would then jam. I've read some bad reviews on this little escort so this weekend is gunshow and its going to find a new home. Swamprat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamprat Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Problem solved. I had $150.00 invested in this POS. Sold it this wekend at gunshow for a cool $300.00. Even a blind hog can find an acorn. And the Lord looks out for idiot's. It was more of God's grace than an acorn that I got out of this one.
