looking at the mechanics of the action i started polishing things inside and greasing them thinking friction may be an issue or burrs from the newly manufactured gun, and it cycled more smoothly but still had failures.

BL-22 jamming / fail to feed/eject solution]]> 1 Thu, 10 Oct 2024 19:31:53 +0000 https://browningowners.com/forum/index.php?threads/browning-bl-22-problem.11984/ https://browningowners.com/forum/index.php?threads/browning-bl-22-problem.11984/ Howie Howie
When I pull back the bolt to load the first round the following cartridge comes through as well and jams up the procedure. The rifle cycles O.K. because the bolt is moving very quickly. I feel there is something that should hold the second cartridge back? Would appreciate if someone knows the answer.

But the BL-22's are to me just in a league all by their selves. I have a brand new Micro Midas BL-22 that fits me perfect and a great shooter and very accurate for me. But I bought this 1980 made BL-22 that was used and abused. It has...

I had a Primary arms Red Dot that I was not using. It had a Allen head bolt that it uses to keep it tight on the picatinny rail. The Browning being a...

Not sure exactly how I feel about these as of yet. You feel them with your trigger finger but they don't get in the way. These are my two BL-22's with them on.

I was more hoping for a regular longer take down screw that the saddle ring would screw onto the correct side. But this is what Beartooth Mercantile came up with instead of what I suggested. Will get better pictures when I have more time....

I also Love my BL-22's my 1980 BL is my favorite lever to shoot. It's not my best lever (that belongs to the Winchester 9422) but it is my favorite to shoot and the one I shoot far more than any other lever rifle I have.

I just purchased a new BL-22 Maple. It shoots very well (except the trigger is a little heavy but will break in with working) but compared to my old 1980 it can be chamber...

When I got there talking to the owner I told him that he never did get me a S&W Model 41 that I wanted. He got looking on the web at his distributers and noticed that he still had the Model 41 and also a BL-22 Maple on his wish list that was also never filled. I had also told him over a year ago that I wanted one of the Maples. That's why it was on his wish list. So he called three different distributers and on...
