    There was a recall several years ago to install the upgrade blue springs. I had an OOB shortly after buying my 15-22 & sent it right in. Haven't had a single problem since. It sounds like these rifles were never upgraded.

    The only trouble I have is the magazines are always empty....

    When was the recall? I have a 15-22 and have never had any issues with it but am wondering if it was bought after they did the recall.

    The recall was maybe a year after the rifle hit the streets. (Long enough ago that I can't remember when). Pop it open and check the recoil spring. If it's blue you have the upgraded parts.
