Return to “Sig Mosquito -- Guilty or Innocent?”
No problems here either with the Fiocchi or CCI MiniMags. I've since swapped in the longer spring as suggested but I haven't had a chance to try the Federal JHPs again to see if that cleared the issue. It's a great little gun... my wife has pretty much taken it over.WolfeJager wrote:One of my buddies bought one for his wife. She absolutely adores that pistol.
She ran 8 Boxes of Minimags through it the first day she had it. No feeding problems through the entire 8 boxes.
Great little 22.
This is great info and something I will definitely try. Thanks for posting!DrBillC wrote:...
From Sig Sauer:
Please try these basic trouble shooting tips before requesting service: *Please make sure the recoil spring is installed correctly. The narrow end of the spring MUST be on the guide rod first...pointing towards the rear of the gun. If it is not, this will cause feeding, extraction and firing issues. *The longer (light power – some are painted white) spring should be used with Standard or High Velocity (1000+ fps) ammo. Use the shorter (heavy) spring for Hyper-Velocity (1400+ fps) ammo. *Like many .22 LR’s, Mosquito’s can be sensitive to ammunition used and to cleanliness and lubrication. Be sure your Mosquito is cleaned and lubricated regularly and before the first use. *There is a lubrication port on the right side of the slide for the extractor, be sure you add a drop of lube in this hole every hundred rounds or so. Make sure the gun is very clean. *Some Mosquito's benefit from a break-in period. *Be sure to use factory recommend ammunition - CCI Mini-Mags. Winchester Super-X, Remington Golden Bullet, Federal High Velocity etc...also usually work well.
