Yeah, had one for years...just traded it for $175 in a deal for a Saiga .308. You got a damn good buy!

 

They are made by the same folks that made the Nazi submachine guns (MP38 & 40)! They also imported .22LR (and some centerfire blowback chambered) "Lugars" -a full sized & a mini. The U.S Carbine/Erma rifle I had was reliable and shot well -I used it as a scoped .22.

 

These are no longer imported. they "book' well...and the mags are near imposssible to get under $40-$65 used...there was 10 round and a 15 round mag (possibly the heaviest .22LR mags ever made).

 

This gun was also made in .22mag -and, had a working gas system!

 

Replacement parts will be about nil. I suspect that your gun needs a good cleaning (DON'T TAKE IT APART!!!). Just flush it out wit hsome brake cleaner & lightly lube -should get it cookin'.

 

Have fun.

Just out of curiosity... why wouldnt you take it apart? collector value will drop if you do? or is there some little things in there that like to go "SPROING" when the tension is released???

 

as I said... MERELY CURIOUS....

just wanted to add

that i did

take it apart

and yes

it did have some minor sproing factors

but nothing too complicated

 

i do now know for a fact

that the firing pin tip

is busted off

and nowhere to be found

i still have the option

of giving it back and getting a refund

 

i would however

trade it for stuff

if someone was interested

 

saiga 12 stuff

ak 7.62/5.45 stuff

lemme know

 

i know this isnt the sale forum

just thought id throw that out

There are some oddities with the action (it sort of has a outter shell -and, is pretty soft zinc alloy). But, more over, MOST failure for a .22LR semiauto to function or function well is due to the EXTREME amount of RESIDUE that collects, the nature of the blow-back action...this is what needs to be removed. It flushes out BEST. Dinkering with the action does little to improve this, and sometimes makes things worse -leading to the famous gun (pieces) in a basket situation.

 

in the past, I've seen 80-90% of semi .22lr rifles, that were brought to me not working, function after flushing.

no i mean the tip

is Broken Off

like there is barely a nub left where

the pin assembly fits thru the hole in the bolt

 

other that that

i dont know whats wrong with it

im pretty sure its put back together correctly

but it obviously wont work with a detached firing pin

like i said....

 

the "tip"

of the firing pin

is snapped gone kaput

never to be seen again

there is no way someone could "work it out"

other than maybe drilling and setting a piece of steel dowel

to take the place of the broken pin

or just buying

a new pin

 

seriously the firing pin is totally non-serviceable

need a new one

i think im going to give it back to the dude

and tell him im going to wally world to buy a 10/22

I saw this rifle at a gun show for $350 which is outrageous. You got a nice deal for $50. :super:

For you it's a low cost plinking companion to the M1 Carbine, or Mini-14. If you need parts, try Numrich or Sarco.

Numerich (E-gun parts) is the man! Just got a New carcano firing pin from them. If you fit a new firing pin, check the firing pin protusion- I had to file off .025 from the new Carcane pin.
