M2 springfield misfires

[Mike Haas]

I'd start with another brand of ammo or two first. The one thing I can tell you for sure is .22 ammo has gone way down hill over the years. More misfires and less consistency than ever before. Try a few better brands of ammo...?

I agree completely with Jims statement. Modern .22 ammo have thinner rims which essentialy changes headspace. Either change ammo to correct function or, since the M2 bolt can be adjusted to improve headspace ( correcting misfire issues ). Your choice. I seriously doubt you have a mechanical problem as long as the bolt is clean & lubed properly.
