Thoughts-Opinions on Jennings JA-22 semi-auto

[puma guy]

We all know AndyC has shot just about everything so his denying it is futile........

I was forced! Forced at gunpoint, I tell you!

Well if it was a Jennings you were apparently in little danger

Well, I'll come clean. I still have a Jennings .22 bought way back when I was college-kid-broke. Mac and cheese broke. Working a part time job pouring concrete for $2.60 and hour - if that give a clue as to the age of this trot line weight. It shot OK for a while but for many years has been retired with the firing pin stuck in the forward position. Can anyone spell slamfire?!! I keep it around to sometimes pull out of the safe before classes to use as an example of what not to risk one's life on. And it's "safe queen" companion: An RG .22 with 2" barrel. Which last time, I tried it, actually went bang 4 times out of 6.

We carried Rohm RG's back in the sixties and I tried my best to NOT sell them but there was always someone with $11.88 that wanted one. Your experience is what I was after. As in how long would it last. I think some of them were made of Zamack, so it's not surprising. A lot of RG's spit shaved lead from poor cylinder alignment.

how dare you insult my daily carry!

Eh, I've shot a friend's and it wasn't bad. Pretty accurate and decently reliable with CCI MiniMags (1 or 2 FTFeed in ~100rds). I wouldn't buy one, but wouldn't turn down a free one either.
