Hi Ian, Gene814 Missouri, USA here. Last week, I purchased an AMT Backup in 22 cal, along with its original box and paperwork. Until this gun, I was not familiar with AMT. Thanks to your site, I know much more about this company and the guns it made. Cleaned the firearm according to instructions, and will go shoot it at my local shop later this week. Thanks for this fine forum. ------------- Gene814 |

Shot my AMT Backup 22 today. It ran fine for the first 40 rounds, then began having some problems. Rounds became stuck in the magazine and would not release. Rounds being released became stuck at the lip of the feed ramp. After firing, the extractor did not remove the spent shell. So it looks like I have to work on the magazine, and the feed ramp. The extractor grabbed the spent shell, but it would not release from the barrel - perhaps the need to do a more thorough cleaning of the throat of the barrel. That's the work for tomorrow. ------------- Gene814 |

Ref: IAI / AMT Weapons. Of all of the AMT/IAI that I have owned, these weapons will only function using Winchester Ammo. I owned a AMT 22 Mag Automag. W/6" barrel, this was a real fun gun.

And a IAI Skipper in 40 S&W. This is a good carry weapon, a bit heavy, but that cuts down the recoil, a good carry pistol in the winter.

Ian, are you out there? Does anyone know if Ian’s website has been shut down by the new laws in England? I have tried the site all week and get “Error 1033 Cloudflare tunnel error”. Hate to see this happen. He has been a wealth of info for us all.

Hi all, Apologies for the disruption to the website — it’s back up and running now. I was away on holiday and the server seemed to forget what it was supposed to be doing, so it needed a reboot. Ranger Jim, you make a good point. We do have issues here in the UK. The site is an old WordPress installation that’s well past its sell-by date, and I need to move it to a better service. Over the coming days, I’ll get everything back up and running, migrate the site to a static format, and host it on a more reliable server. After that, I’ll make the static site available on a service like GitHub, so it can be downloaded by anyone as a site you can keep on your own file system. That way, if the UK government decides the site needs to come down, all the information will still be accessible to the group, and anyone can contribute to it as well. Finally, we need to move the forum out of the UK and place it under new management. As I’ve mentioned in other threads, it needs a new non-UK home to secure its future. ------------- http://www.amtguns.net" rel="nofollow - Ian's AMT Information Page http://www.glossover.co.uk" rel="nofollow - A little more about me - My corner of the internet |
