Thread: Rossi Wizard 223

Recently purchased the above new as a "soft" introductory rifle option for a youth wanabe shooter.
Found that it had a misfire rate on factory bought 55gr lead tips of 1 round in 4.
They all fired eventually but on inspection of the primers found that the firing pin impacted off centre, almost on the primer edge and some primers were blown. The pin alignment is OK as the pin marks were the same on all the rounds fired.
If the barrel was a LR.22 rim fire the pin mark would be perfect..
My question is does anyone know if there are there different receiver frames for the wizard, as in rimfire and centre fire??
