I have an old tube magazine Springfied 188h .22 semi auto rifle.
I have taken it to the range a couple of times and the thing refuses to push the bullets up into the chamber, after further examination I have found that there is not enough room for the bullets to get by the lifter when it is supposed to. What is my best course of action. I could maybe modify the lifter (file it down) so that the bullets can get past. Do I take it to a gunsmith? Do I just bag it and load the thing a bullet at a time like I have been. I have found the parts breakdown on the internet and can take pics if that would help any.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
