Was shooting my Marlin 795 when something sketchy happened my guess is a little to much powder in that one. Shooting Aguila have shot lots of them never had this happen.

almost looks like it went off slightly out of battery

maybe due to all that carbon buildup preventing the case from seating?

this is almost certainly what has happened . probably a good thing it was only a 22 . whoever taught this fellow its ok to run it that dirty did him a disservice . yikes .

One could say they did him dirty...

You think that's bad, you should see my 44 black powder after two cylinders. I don't know how they could shoot it reliably back in the 1870's after a couple of goes. I guess that's why Jose Wales carried 12 of them.

I can believe it , Ive seen my Glock get pretty gross after 50 rounds of 'light' loaded handloads - which I made to spec (CFEpistol) pow just didn't want to burn - I switched to titegroup and never had that issue again.
This guys chamber looks like it had mud pumped into it. He says it was clean when they started - I know im never buying aguila ammo thats for sure .

Others can jump in, but I’ve had the wildest variety with Aguila.

75% is so bad every second round jams, sticks or is a dud even in forgiving guns.

Then I’ll get the occasional box that might as well be that nice Eley.

They didn't. When muskets were the primary weapon on the battlefield they would only get maybe a dozen or so shots before it fouled up and they'd have to give it the soldier's fix. Which at 4-5 shots per minute for a good line battalion, it wouldn't take long.

u/Killerkirk88 May 03 '26

That’s what we where thinking believe it or not gun was not that dirty before the shoot.

u/DryF1re May 03 '26

i believe it. its so easy to suddenly go through several hundred .22 rounds.

i feel like even the 'clean' .22 rounds are still quite dirty.

u/Halfbloodjap May 03 '26

I had to switch to a bolt gun from my semi auto .22 because even with .22 range sessions were getting expensive.

u/DryF1re May 04 '26

ya we only buy .22 in bulk and when its on sale.

u/No_Promise_9803 May 03 '26

Either this ammo is loaded with exploding dirt or the rifle has never been cleaned once.

22

u/Arctelis May 03 '26

It’s Aguila, I’ve had cleaner hands after degreasing an excavator than cleaning my .22 after a day at the range with that stuff.

u/gspotcowboy May 03 '26

I've shot lots of Aquila and it is dirty but my 10/22 has never looked like that even after a brick. It looks like OPs marlin was soaked in gun oil prior to the range day?

Mine gets sooty but not wet like that idk

u/dirkdiggler2011 May 03 '26 edited May 04 '26

Yeah. It's very apparent you shot "lots of them".

u/Nice-Background890 May 03 '26

You drop that gun in the mud or something? Goddamn.

u/preferablyoutside May 03 '26

Comment explains all, with the exception of the Remington Bucket O Jams I’ve never shot worse .22 ammo than Aguila

u/coiine May 03 '26

Sing it, but the fact is most people want a) the cheapest thing that b) runs their .22 reliably. Aguila fits that bill. Most don’t make the connection between residue and carbon and malfunctions for some reason.

u/prosper_0 May 04 '26

Yeah, I'd bet that a REAL large chunk of 'FTF/FTE' complaints are from guys to whom 'cleaning' is a foreign concept.

Even shooting some of the most-maligned ammo out there - like the Winchester 555 or various bulk Remington ammos - I very rarely have issues. (555, actually, works really well in most of my guns)

u/sounoriginal13 May 03 '26

I dont mind it, better than winchester whote box too

u/funkybandman69 May 03 '26

Hahaha I was just gonna say “ what kind of gun oil you use? Mud?”

u/Even-Translator-2374 May 03 '26

Brother clean ur rifle fukkkkkkkkk. Maintenance is important yk🥶

u/jaraxel_arabani May 03 '26

Holy carbon build up batman

3

u/wljw69 May 03 '26

I know it's just a 22 but it isn't illegal to clean your rifle from time to time. That looks like the round went off when a bit out of battery due to carbon buildup

5

u/ItchYouCannotReach May 03 '26

maybe consider shooting something better then aguila. That shit is some of the filthiest 22 available on the Canadian market and it looks like you don't clean your rifle much to begin with.

u/Killerkirk88 May 03 '26

Ya thats what I’ll be doing gun was not that dirty before the shoot.

2

u/Whispersfine May 04 '26

Man Aguila is dirty. It stinks like a fucking skunk too.

1

u/Ravens_beak224 May 03 '26

You need to clean your gun dude.

1

u/yayaqwerty69 May 03 '26

I’m cleaning my 10/22 after seeing this, I’m shocked this hasn’t happened to me yet 😅😅😅

2

u/dgod40 May 03 '26

Haha...I just thought the same thing. I shot a whole bunch of Aguila last week and haven't cleaned my rifle

1

u/Boomstick1812 May 04 '26

It did this because that thing is filthy. Neglected.

u/Agitated_Tourist7844 May 04 '26

u/Successful_man_797 May 04 '26

Damn! Clean that gun!

u/walebrush May 06 '26

Holy shit dude. That looks like an out of battery discharge. Clean you damn gun
