Is is normal for a TC G2 Contender in .22lr to have a barrel that clogs with propellant after every shot?

I bought it last October and the gun is a work of art. I bought it as a complete gun and it has a .22lr MATCH 12%26quot; Bbl qith Adj. sight. I noticed with good .22lr ammo the barrel gets clogged with propellant and one breath down the tube blows it out. I am wondering if anyone has experience with this in other TC Contender guns.

I too would recommend you change ammo brands to correct the problem.


Sounds like inferior powder or the manufacture is using a slow rate of burn powder exclusively for rifles.


Where as due to the relevance of a shorter barrel commonly incorporated in pistols.


Pistols usually perform best with a much faster burning powder, so as to utilize all the powder before the projectile leaves the barrel.


Which in turn is referred to as a clean burn.


What you describe sounds as thou the powder is still in the process of burning after the projectile has exited the barrel which can result in , pour performance as in lower muzzle velocity, heavy to excessive residue in the weapon ect ect ect.


You described a single shot but the same effect is also found commonly in the action and barrel of auto pistol’s and rifles that operate on the Blow Back Design.


Many calibers operate on the blow back design.


TC G2 is a nice set up
Reply:Sounds like a bad lot of cartridges. Try some different brands and not the economy shells either to see if they do the same thing.





I said nothing about bad shells. I said a bad lot. Snafus happen in the manufacturing process that quality control does not find sometimes. That is why we have ammunition recalls, the consumer is the one that found the problem.
