My pistol does not chamber/extract the ammunition correctly

Slide the pistol slide backwards and observe the cartridge chamber, at 12 o'clock where the ammunition collar would be positioned: is there a dimple or square mark? If present, this could be the cause, i.e. damage caused by the firing pin to the edge of the chamber through blank fire. It is the most common problem with this type of weapon. This damage must be removed by a gunsmith. Another cause could be the ammunition used: we recommend the use of quality High Velocity ammunition for the correct cycle of the product. If the problem persists, contact our customer service.

I have reassembled the pistol and now I cannot remove the magazine and/or the slide does not move

Most likely the weapon was not reassembled correctly. Pick up the gun again. When reassembling, make sure the hammer drop lever (#35 in the instruction manual exploded view) is in the rear/up position when replacing the slide. If this hangs when assembling the weapon, it is in the wrong position and must be returned to the state described above.

Little & Double Badgers

I am unable to chamber/extract the ammunition in the .22 caliber barrel

Look at the cartridge chamber, at 12 o'clock where the ammunition collar would be positioned: is there a dimple or square mark? If present, this could be the cause, i.e. damage to the firing pin at the edge of the chamber due to blank fire. It is the most common problem with this type of ammunition. This damage must be removed by a gunsmith.

The opening of the weapon feels very stiff.

There is a method that the customer can take to try to resolve the problem. There are two screws on the receiver: loosen the screw on one side until the desired slack is obtained. If this does not solve the problem, the firearm should be taken to a gunsmith or contact our customer service for assistance at [email protected]

I've fired my Double Badger before, but now it looks like the 22's firing pin is exposed even though the rifle has already been cocked

This problem is due to blank fire and the firing pin is too damaged to function properly and needs to be replaced. The weapon must be taken to a trusted gunsmith.

MFOUR-22

My shotgun does not chamber/extract the ammunition correctly

Remove the bolt from the upper and observe the cartridge chamber, at 12 o'clock where the ammunition collar would be positioned: is there a dimple or square mark? If present, this could be the cause, i.e. damage caused by the firing pin to the edge of the chamber through blank fire. It is the most common problem with this type of weapon. This damage must be removed by a gunsmith. Another cause could be the ammunition used: we recommend the use of quality High Velocity ammunition for the correct cycle of the product. If the problem persists, contact our customer service.

Does my upper damage the buffer tube?

On most lowers everything can be kept as if you were using your own .223/5.56 upper. But in the event that, using our upper, the retaining pin appears to become damaged, you can remove the shear pin, buffer and buffer spring as these are not required for the Chiappa MFOUR-22 to function properly
