I finally got out to shoot my Ranger II EB #117. I shot 50 rounds of Speer Gold Dots 22 Mags thru it and had no problems. Ejector worked fine and no lock ups, cylinder stayed in place and no miss fires. Fired 50 rounds of CCI 22 LR thru it also with no problems. The nuts on cylinders still look tight. I do notice a very little wobble in it at the pivot point, but don't know how much is acceptable. It does not wobble as much as Joe had shown on his video. If someone gets to talk too the factory, maybe they can post what amount of wobble is within specs, or do we need to send back for adjustment. Joe will probably know when he gets his back. I also noticed a little bit of lead spray when some of the rounds fired. A friend of mine has a Ranger I and said his does the same, sprays some lead around cylinder. I'm probably using the wrong term in lead spray, but it sometimes has very little fragments hit your hand when you fire. All in all, I trust it enough to carry it, just would like clarification on the wobble. Maybe NAA will read some of these reports and let use know about it (Wobble at pivot point).

Wobble? When I received mine it had ZERO wabble... it sounds like it happens after some rounds have been fired thru it... I would send it back. For the cost, this gun should be as all their other products have been. If we let the quality control go down, it's our problem....

You have a defective product. I had a defective product... mine has been sent back already. I was not able to fire my gun, if I get to shoot it and develop a wobble it will go back.
Not sure why, but Dad always said "Shoot Straight" before every hunt

I agree if its not up to your standard send it back. This gun is very expensive compared to some others. I know I can find 38 snubi's for 200 and they work perfect. I understand the challenges of making a breaktop but really want it to work right.

Thanks guys, I will contact NAA to send in for repair. Agree with the cost of this gun, I want it working and functioning as it is suppose to be.
