Stevens 87B at the range
« on: February 12, 2005, 03:19:43 PM »
i got off work early today so i headed up to my club to try out this little beauty. i put about 700 rounds through it and it only jammed about 11 times. 2 of those jams where feeding problems, 7 of them happened when a spent case wasn't ejected and got caught in the slots on the reciever. the other 2 happened whe i tried to fire Shorts semi auto. :oops:
 the empties stovepiped. i used mostly Winchester Wildcat, but when i switched to another brand it stopped jamming. i had one misfire with CCI Blazer, first time thats ever happened.i was firing fast and hitting pop cans at 25-125 yards. i didn't try a group test, i'll get a few different brands for next time and compare them.

So, if you restrict to 22lr cartridges, you had about 1% malfunctions, but found one brand that seemed to have none.  That seems to be pretty reliable to me.
