Erma 22 M1 carbines - Anyone shot one?

[neal455]

What ammo are you using ?? THe ABSOLUTE best for these is CCI MINI MAG Hv copper coated rounds. I have found Remington thunderbolts work well too but jam a tiny bit more. Any waxed rounds will jam every other cycle. These rifles are very mag dependant too. ANY damage to the lips will cause it to miss feed. Often when a round is chambered it will flick up if those feeding lips are not 100%
I have found over loading the mag is what buggers them the quickest, you are better loading 9 rounds in a 10 or 14 in a 15 etc. . When you first clip it in if its full it flattens those lips, then it starts to feed poorly. . . Post some pics of the mags. I get mine from Numrich they will send them to me in the UK. I just picked up a .22 WMR E M1 even more fun and more like a real M1 BUT it only has a 5 round mag. Anyone know where there are any other magnum mags ??

CCI Standard..
Works fine, except that when it jams, it usually damages the bullet horribly.
As long as these rounds work perfect, I'm fine.
Not to mention my ammosafe is not large enough to contain a whole bunch of different ammo's . (aside from the fact that CCI standard are the cheapest and me being Dutch and all)

I usually shoot in rounds of 5.. Haven't even tried how many rounds would fit in the mags, but 5'll do fine.

Post some pics of the mags.

I will... After I found the USB cable of my camera.

And here, the differences between the ones on the left, and the one on the right:
