a few a nights ago i found myself under the largest flock of canadas you ever did see, sadly my trustly baikal semi misfired.to be honest lately it's done it a few times, and i thought i had some dud cartriges.
after every outing shes cleaned mathodically and the pin is free from any dirt i just don't understand.
shes three years old and in better than average cond,
has any one any ideas as to what steps to take, is there anything i can do.

Try another cartidge or twenty to make sure you dont have a dud batch. If this doesn't work then the next bit may sound really silly. You may be cleaning it too much. Yes I did say that, I know because I have been guilty. If you use any form of grease as I do on moving parts then my rule is feel it but dont see it. Sparing application is the way forward. The .22 played up one night but at least you can field strip the bolt in lamplight and cure the problem. Is it ejecting etc and which cartridge is it misfiring on. The first suggests a manual cocking fault then on could be a gas charge not operating well enough.
Firstly I would try other cartridges, I have suffered recently and know others who have in the past. Even expensive caps do it, youknow the ones securicor deliver them individually. I think they are Bismuth or something like that, mind you lead is going the same way.
Good luck

I agree with James, some loads just wont let go or recycle in a semi-auto, although I have had the same issue in both sbs and o/u with one particular brand (el-crappo I think they were)
I hear the Hatsan semi's are good value and work very well. At a touch under £400 brand new with lots of options included - inc the ability to mount a scope(!!??) They are good value for money.

thanks for the heads up. basically i think it,s the second cartrige that miss fires.i've been using remington steel with not much success.
i hav'nt had any luck with these but the winchester dry locks are my top steel cartrige. i think the baikal cost £450 new in 3.5' synthetic, so the escort price range is in the right place. my local gun shop have been selling them like hot cakes i know of al least 10 people who use one, possibbly it's worth investing in.
many thanks.

Had the same problem with my Baikal auto,you can adjust the amount of Gas flow to eject the spent shell,with the double ended choke key.if you are using 3.5 steel you will need to open the adjuster outwards to allow more gas through the ports and cycle the cartridge.
Good luck hope this helps. A cracking Gun for the money.I managed to get mine to cycle 30gr loads right through to 66gr loads
