Adler rf 224

[u/Accomplished-Bake510]

Hey, I bought an Adler rf 224 the other day (I am aware it has some mixed reviews, I just wanted a cheap 22 to shoot) I put maybe 20 rounds threw it, and it proceeded to have a bunch of issues, from not extracting the casing properly and then it started just refusing to feed a new round in. It seemed to me like the bolt wasn't coming back far enough to pickup the next round. I took it apart and found the bolt spring wasn't in its seat. I'm just curious what you guys think, to me it looks like the corner of the seat is knocked off , so there's nothing keeping the spring from going to the side. But I didn't find any debris or that chunk that I think is missing. Am I correct in guessing that the seat is broken? Or am I over thinking it? First picture is how I believe it should sit, second one was how I found it, 3rd is with the spring removed. Sorry if this sounds dumb lol, never taken a firearm apart/worked on one before.

Yeah when you said you wanted a cheap 22lr to shoot i was like wait theyre like 450 now thats not even that cheap anymore. Cause the wood 10/22s are like 430-450 depending where ya look.

Being 8 months wiser, 10/22 first choice 100%, and TM-22 if you gotta. Their reputation for working properly out of the box is up and down like a toilet seat. I got lucky there. Mine works great.

I'm curious to see how the plastic receivers are holding up after the Feather's been out for a year and a bit, and they're leaning into the Flash. I don't think shooting through a plastic receiver is a problem. It's repeatedly disassembling and reassembling them. It's so much easier to be ham-handed with plastic stuff.

Im honestly not super impressed with the new derya's. The 16" version was ok but they changed the stock from the ones that o'dell used on their 18" aluminium ones and the new stocks were cheaper and not as nice.

The hockey stick stock on my RIA Compact was a bit of a travesty but a printed mil-spec tube and a spare butt stock off of a Feather put that right.

Are the recent Magpul clone butt stocks (full closed triangle) that cheezy?

Yeah still not a huge fan, its hard to like any of the other ones when the OG felt so comfy lol.
