Fix my gun Adler rf 224
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.

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.
