I still have my first gun. I...think....it is the 512. It is a tube mag bolt .22 and old enough that they didn't even serial number em.

Well, I never abused it and it is still near mint. I...did...refinish the stock with hand rubbed oil and added sling swivels and it looks so fine as a "pretty" old gun.

But, it hangs up feeding cartridges from the tube. Only SOMETIMES.....aaargh. I see no galling or nicks on the carrier thingies that scissor up and down and have cleaned them and they seem to work just fine.

Any suggestions of where to look next?

Would like to give it to a grandson but really would like to get it working like new.

It seems to pick up the shell and then jam the nose back down and stick. Other times it works just fine.
