Title: 22 mag mini revolver
Post by: EDT on February 19, 2013, 07:59:39 PM: Does anyone know why some boxes of ammo say "Not for use with North American Arms firearms?" I fugure it is because of bullet weight. Is it bullet weight?

Actually NAA mini revolvers are well made. Very well made compared to anything else similar.

If its PMC .22 WRF its because of repoerted cases of "double discharge" . Where the round in the chamber and another round in the cylinder go off at the same time.
