I realize this little pistol has both good and horribly bad reputations, but I have one that works quite well. I have two magazines and have barely shot it. Still, I'd like to order a few parts for it and wanted to know which parts are worth buying. I have two mags, which is plenty.
I'm thinking three firing pins, three firing pin springs, two mainsprings, all of which are fairly modest in cost. I won't be buying another magazine for twenty dollars, though. But how about an extractor and an extractor spring? Would I likely need those or not? I think the part that breaks the most on the Jennings is firing pin.
Also, has anyone left a Jennings loaded for a long period and then tried to shoot it? I don't know whether I should load it for extended periods. I know it's okay to do this with quality magazines, but don't know about Jennings.
As for overall reliability, mine shoots flawlessly for about five clips, then it begins jamming. But if I clean it, it just fires as fast as I pull the trigger. I really wish I had bought ten of them when I had the chance. I love cheap little .22s that work.
