Question Romanian Model 1969 .22 Trainer-Feed Issues

Does anyone out there have experience with the cheap .22 Romanian training rifles that were imported about 5-10 years ago. I was at a show, and snapped one up for the unbelievably cheap price. It's got pretty nice sights for a .22. But it doesn't feed worth a damn.

I've tried different brands of ammo, bullet weights, etc. I tried taking apart the mag and cleaning it. Nothing seems to help. I may try one of the newly manufactured Triple K mags.

Any suggestions?

hard to tell without seeing, or a more detailed explanation of the problem, but the first thing to look at if you are having trouble feeding from diffrent mags would be the feed ramp.

We had one for a while and finally gave up. I think that there is a design flaw in the rifle or mag. Two trips to a very good gunsmith produced about 90% reliablity. Neat rifle but everybody seems to have some feed problem. Also maybe a difference in the ammo?
