22 LR

My Marlin Mdl 60 22LR聽 quit cycling Subsonic ammo this morning. Over the past 3 days I have been covered up with gray squirrels. They have cost me about 3,000.00 not counting the inconveniences they have caused in getting repairs done. I have had to close my garage doors because they were attacking the inside of my garage.聽

The CCI subsonic is a little softer on the ears but mildly underpowered ammo, and I went to it for the extra quietness is has. The MDL 60 has been cycling it very well only a failure to cycle once in a few weeks. The last 3 days it will not fire 4 rounds without stoppages. I just took it down and cleaned the stuffings out of the brl and chamber and lubed it and left it wet. It seems easier and smother when cycling it by hand now. I haven't cleaned it in several months, and hope that was my problem. I probably have 800 to 1000 rounds through it over a period of 8 months since cleaning. We will see down the road.聽

Are you talking about the CCI Quiet-22 Segmented HP?聽 I've found those to be highly effective on tree rats, and in a .22 bolt gun they're quieter than my RWS Diana pellet rifle.聽 I've never tried the ammo in a semiauto but it does seem to burn dirty so I guess it's not surprising if it wouldn't cycle reliably after a while.聽 Hope the cleaning helps.

I can't even begin to count how many .22 rifles and pistols I've seen that look like they were never cleaned!聽 The little Marlin model 60 is a fine rifle, but a bear to clean properly!聽 I've scored some real bargains on .22s that looked like the bore was worn out, but were just leaded.

I shoot the CCI Quite in my old pump actions and it is super quiet. Definitely quieter than a pellet gun. With a can it鈥檚 stupid quiet.聽

Your picture is quite funny. I felt the same as the red squirrel looks in the picture. My thought was dang Pop Pop, get it together!

I have 2 pairs of fox squirrels that never bother anything. My problem is the little gray squirrels. Them little rats with long bushy tails are swarming sometimes. Got to thin them down a tad.聽

The more of em I shoot, the more shows up. They chew the wires and fuel lines on my trucks. They lack everything full of nuts. They are a general nuisance, and have costed me some significant money the last couple of years.

I used Break Free CLP. If I spray lube I use Remington Graphite based spray lube. it is dry also. This time I just used Gun Oil. The rifle is cycling now. Just needed a good cleaning. The operator needs to watch the trigger jerk. Can't blame that on the Model 60 Marlin.聽
