I got about 20 rounds through it, and the pin started slipping again. I'll get a replacement pin from Walther and see what happens.

This is one of the older ones that has the stepped chamber. There is a noticeable rim/edge, where the chamber ends and the rifling starts. Walther said it's a feature that allows the gun to shoot any 22lr ammo. It does eat anything I ran through it. Problem is, I put 100/200 rounds through it, and that edge gunks up quickly with powder and lead fouling. Rounds will not seat all the way in the chamber, I get an FTF, and the live round won't get picked up by the extractor. Can that edge be smoothed out? Is there an advantage to smoothing it out?

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It is difficult only for the others. It is the same when you are stupid.
