Hi, I recently began messing with a 342 in .22 Hornet that has been in the family for years, it hasn't been shot in years, after cleaning I loaded a few and went to shoot, it chambers the first round, ejects fine but generally doesn't chamber the next round. My first thought was weak spring in the original magazine, so I got a new one from Numrich, but it does the same thing with that (actually it will occasionally chamber one from the old clip but not the new one.) The bolt seems to just glide on past the round. The only thing I have to compare it with is my Springfield 840 in .222 but that has a different style bolt altogether (more like a Remington), I cannot find a parts diagram so I am looking for ideas. Thanks, Pete
