Yeah its not a Remington exclusive problem... It is newer guns period, at least the lower end ones, I bought both my boys Ruger 10/22’s about 10 years ago. It took us awhile to figure out it was crappy clips not functioning correctly and not the guns... We tossed the clips that kept jamming up and now those seem alright. I just prefer to go find used older guns, they seem much better quality... That said, I LOVE my new Henry! My now young adult sons just got old but very well maintained .243 and 300 win mag after their grandfather passed away... Older than they are and you cant even tell, except for the OLD scopes on them... now they know what quality feels like at least.
I bought my daughter a 10/22 a year or so ago, and it seems to be working fine. Maybe they fixed the problem.
Really like to have a Henry, but until the tragic boat accident I had a Tika 308 with a killer scope, a semi-auto AK with 30 and 40 round mags, a somewhat functional 12 gauge, and a sidearm.
Unless they legalize the sale of machine guns, grenades, and claymores, that covers all my real-world needs. Anything else I buy would just be a toy.
