Thread: JARD .17 WSM Reliability Issues

G'day fellas.

I've had a Jard J72 in .17 wsm for around 9 months and it's given me nothing but problems. Its had around 4-500 rounds through it to date so not really wearing in any more.
I've snapped 3 firing pins so far. All while firing, not dry firing it.

And it fails to fire roughly 4 out of every 10 rounds. Primer strikes on the unfired rounds look perfectly fine to me and plenty deep.
No different from the ones that do go bang. No difference between Winchester and Hornady ammo.

The only thing that makes sense is that the hammer doesn't have enough oomph to reliably fire the ammo.

Has anyone got one of these and had similar issues? Its a Jard Gen. 2 Upper and Lower not a Kriss Lower.
Or has anyone had similar issues with the .17 wsm ammo in other rifles?

If anyone would like to buy it cheap and have there own go at making it work shoot me a message because I'm getting sick or it.

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
