Desided to take my trusty 22LR AR-7 explorer to the range to sight in a new scope for it and the scope worked just fine, but the AR-7 started having ejection problems. I was using some federal ammo and switched to CCl to see if it was just getting picky on ammo and the same damn thing continued to happen. Then I tried different Mag's hoping was it. No such luck. Then I field stripped it and cleaned it again and still had the same problem.

Any Ideas?

I don't have an AR-7 but did you take apart the bolt and the ejector to see if there is gunk built up there? 22s are very dirty.
good luck.

I'd check the extractor first, then the ejector.

No not yet, but I guess that will be the next thing to do on my list.

I checked that, and saw no signs of problems or wear or breakage.

Thanks guys.

The trouble I have had with them is what has been said the mags and the extractors.

Take the bolt and soak it then blast it with compressed air.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Man it's always been a good little shooter. I hope it gets over it's sickness cuz I tend to get rid of firearms that won't funtion pretty quick.
