Sears Ted Williams Model 34

[hags]

I've recently done a repair and restoration job on a Ted Williams Model 34. I don't have anything to compare it to function wise so I figured I'd ask here.

First off the rifle fuctions perfectly with a variety of ammo. Couldn't be happier with the accuracy either, I was surprised.

One issue is bothering me though. The rifle will not fully eject live rounds. If I load 5 rounds in the magazine and cycle the action a round will chamber. When I cycle the action again it will only extract the round out of the chamber but drop it into the open action. With the next round up and ready to load this ties up the gun at the most and is a PITA at the least. Dangerous either way.

I can see that the extractor is not holding the round tight to the breechface. There is probably about .040 to .050" of free space between the breechface and extractor hooks with a round against the breechface. Everything looks fine, no excessive wear, no bent extractor hooks, etc...........
Can someone tell me if they Model 34 does the same thing???????
It seems like this is how it's going to be no matter what I do. I don't know if it came from the factory like this or not.
Thanks!!!!!!

Is the Ted Williams 34 actually a Marlin 336 with Sears-Roebuck markiings?

If so, then it sounds like it operates just like my 336 and 1894. Unless you very forcefully work the lever, loaded rounds do not exit, and just drop down into the action. You then do the "invert and jiggle" to get them out.

I believe the Ted Williams (Sears) model 34 is a .22 semi-auto made by High-Standard.

Exactly!

Yep, I've posted on some other forums, rimfirecentral.com as well. Via PMs, I guess that's the way they're supposed to work.

I guess I'm good to go now.

Thanks!
