I am still trying to take it apart for cleaning, though.

AK-47? Just hose it down...

youtube is great for finding out how to field strip guns. I've never not been able to find a gun on there.

We're shooting those Remington Golden Bullets in our Colt 1911-22 and M&P15-22 and only have a problem about every 100-200 rounds. Even then all we do is clear it manually and go on. We did have fewer problems with the Winchester M22 stuff, but the Remington GBs haven't been a nuisance.

Was this recently, or a while back? I've heard that the GB is "new and improved", but have yet to see/shoot it. Maybe they've made a turn for the better.

I bought it about a month or so ago.

why did they go & make one of the simplest semi auto guns ever (the AK) so complicated by trying to make it work even more simply?

I've always found Remington Golden Bullets to be absolute garbage. They've got a horrible online reputation as well.

I don't know, they work great in my Henry Lever Action. Of course, I've never had any problem with any ammo in the Henry. I love semi-autos but some of the older "manual" actions can't be beat for reliability with various ammo types.

They won't shoot well in your computer?

I have about 2-1/2 boxes of that Remington gold. You're right....it is kind of crappy ammo. My Ruger 22/45 digests it mostly OK, and actually, so does my M&P15-22. I've had an occasional failure to ignite with it, and an occasional failure to feed, but probably something like 98 out of 100 go bang. I'm not using either gun in self-defense, so I'm not real worried about it; but the next time I stock up on .22LR after prices come down, I'll spend a little more and get the Federal blue box with which I've had very good results in both guns.

My S&W model 622 pistol eats the Golden Bullet with no problem but it seems to spray me with a lot of hot gun powder. Every few shots I feel little "stings". My S&W eats everything though. Great shooter. Too bad they d/c that line.

I have been able to snag a few bricks in the last few months. Almost no difficulties with them now. They've improved to the level of the Federal I shot pre Obama Bullet Bubble II.
