long shot but figured i'd ask

Like the title says, i know this upfront.

I'm going to the desert unit to hunt yotes and picked up some .22LR shot shell ammo for the rattlers (you know just in case i wanna grill one up and gross out the kids). Problem is they won't cycle in my Marlin semi auto. anyone out there willing to let me borrow their single shot/bolt action/revolver .22 or maybe do a trade for mine? I'm heading over on the 16th so i don't need this tomorrow or anything and it's not the most important part of the trip what so ever but would be a nice to have.

FUNNY THING,  I WAS CAMPING THIS WEEKEND, AND MY SEMI AUTO STOPPED CYCLEING THE AMMO.  (DIRTY)    WELL KEPT SHOOTING,  AND HAD TO PULL BACK THE ACTION EVERY TIME,    SO WHY GET A BOLT ACTION WHEN YOU CAN JUST PULL BACK THE ACTION ON THE SEMI AUTO, (WOULD BE ALMOST THE SAME THING AS A BOLT ACTION)     JUST MY

If something else doesn't work out, just use it as a single shot.   RARELY, unless you are standing in the middle of a den, do you need to shoot multiple times, especially if you plan on tanning/taxidermy/or eating.  Good luck.

Tried it out at the range this past weekend and they would partially eject and then jam so i had to drop the mag then clear it. I can't really complain though the box did say that the ammo may not function in semi autos.

OH,  THAT EXPLAINS THAT,  I WOULD LET YOU BORROW MINE IF I HAD ONE.  I ONLY HAVE A SEMI-AUTO

yeah just load a shell in the chamber and then drop the mag and shoot it like a single shot if the mag is still in when it part ejects then it will be a pain just drop the mag and use as single shot. and as you prob know the shells just are not hot enough to cycle the gun. good luck!

i have several bolt action single shots and bolt action tube feed 22 rifles and also a 22 revolver. all are in decent to really nice condition. be glad to trade if you want to come down to tacoma. they are all late 1930's-1960's except the revolver it's newer.

They can only get you from half their body length away...just make sure it's a long handled shovel and you'll be fine.

 :)Shovel will reach as far as 22 bird shot. the stuff is worthless. 357 bird shot aint much better. carry a .410 if ya want something that will work, I mean a shot gun not that Taurus pistol, but the pistol is prolly better than any shot cartridge.
