Taurus TX22 competion model

[CoJhny]

I was looking for a nice, high capacity 22. I have friends who were using the standard model Taurus TX22 and loved them. Since my eyes are not as good as they use to be, I chose the Taurus TX22 completion model and installed a Weaver classic series 1x 25mm red dot.

The accuracy is all I hoped for. However, it is jamming the round going into the barrel. The first session was 200 rounds of CCI mini mags. Had 28 jams. 2nd session was a mixture of 150 rounds of CCI, Federal premium and Winchhester super X. Had 20 jams. 3rd session was a mixture of 200 rounds of CCI, Federal premium, Remington hollow points and Winchester Wildcats. Had 14 jams. Winchester wildcats only had 1 stove pipe jam. All other jams was cartridge going into the barrel.

On line research turned up a lot of people having jamming problems with this model. Any members have any experience with this model and similar problems?

Have contacted Taurus and am waiting for a response.

While I haven't had issues as severe as you describe, I do see issues on occasion.
It helps to separate extraction issues from magazine feeding issues.

some troubleshooting steps I use are:
Occasionally the feed ramp needs some buffing

Recommend marking your mags and see if the problem follows a particular mag.

Double Stack 22LR mags can get unevenly loaded.
When this happens to me, I empty the mag and load one round at a time making sure the follower is pushing each round up to the top and the mag is filling evenly. My Sig P322 has this issue every so often.

Some guns need breaking in. Takedown clean and lubricate as needed. Check for burrs or tool marks

Plated or lubed bullets tend to cycle better than dry lead.
I quit shooting Remington Thunderbolt after a host of problems including a lead ring in the bore of my Ruger MKII after one box

Finally, 22LR ammo is incredibly dirty, clean often. Hornady one shot gun cleaner works great on 22LR residue, and leaves a dry lubricant that is a proven rust preventative. Coupled with a bore snake, you can keep things clean and not spend a lot of time doing it.

Thanks for the input.

Problems occurring with all 3 mags. At first, was loading by hand and that may contributed to the problem. Loading more carefully with the loading tool supplied and made sure each round went in the way it was suppose to.

Although I have polished 1911 feed ramps in the past, I have never tackled a .22 ramp. I do not want to do this one yet as I am concerned about the warranty.

I have shot approximately 500 rounds through it to-date. I hope it will not take too many more to get it functioning properly.

You are well on your way to breaking in this pistol, maybe the problems start to get fewer from here.

Just tossing out ideas. Have you tried it without the optics plate mounted? Not just the optic but the plate off the barrel?

Could also be possible that all three mags are bad as well.

That would be terribly bad luck. Perhaps there is an issue with the manufacturing of the mags though?
