Ejection woes

[GP100man]

Fellers ,I bought a 22 revolver & it shoots good just 1 problem ,ya can`t hardly eject the spent cases !!

Chambers are ruff ,I tried polishing with Flitz & a patch wrapped around a brush but made very little head way .

Tried making a flapper wheel , but can`t get the paper to stay.

Pointers & suggestions welcomed on polishing those little chambers welcomed.

Valve grinding compound with oil, on a patch using one of those slotted tips. I prefer to dip the whole patch in the compound, get it really soaked in it.

From a wheeler engineering kit, I have 200 and 300 grit. Local Napa, 500 grit Clover brand.

Good Luck,
Ron

Maybe chambers too large? Too much brass expansion. The .22 has pretty high pressures.
I don't know if I would lap them larger.
Might be a case of selling it off.

EVERY 22 LR revolver I've owned--esp. the swing-out double-actions--have had extraction/ejection issues after 6-8 cylinders-full. I just brush out the chambers after every box of 50 rounds, and this seems to manage the problem pretty well. I've avoided the ten-shot S&W Model 617 for just this reason--my six-shot variant is trouble enough in this respect.

Some ammo types/makes shoot cleaner or dirtier than others, as alluded to above. 44 Man is right, high-velocity 22 LR runs at some impressive pressures. A friend's Marlin Model 60 had a chamber discharge with the bolt partially open, and THAT was one very loud BANG. I was maybe 20 years old when that happened, and still immortal--we brushed out the partial case from its chamber, wiped the brass dust out of the action with Hoppe's, and went right on shooting. That was 37 years ago, and I remember the incident--its players--and its location to this day.

Use a split dowel or rod and a strip of 400 or finer grit wet or dry (black) sandpaper
in a drill. Be careful not to funnel the chamber. don't use coarser than 400, you are
polishing, not removing material.

I tend to agree with Al, brush the chambers every so often. I have similar issues, worse
with some guns.

I had the same issues with several colt and S&W 22 revolvers over the years and sold them all off due to it being a pain. Then I bought a much despised Taurus tracker 9 shot revolver and it does not have this problem. I bought two other Taurus 22 revolvers with similar results shooting all sorts of ammo and no sticky shell casings. I really do not know why but they work for me and are some of my favorite shooters.
