I've had my SU-22 for about 4 months. Since my first trip to the range the gun has been unable to cycle CCI. The failure to feeds using cci are pretty violent and leave the rounds very bent up. These malfunctions seem to be very similiar to another user on the forum:

The violent malfunctions have caused pitting on the feed ramp and burs inside the chamber.
After learning the gun didn't like cci I switched to federal walmart ammo. Even with federal I have malfunctions where an empty shell casing gets stuck behind the bolt causing all kinds of issues. During my last trip to the range I had a [highlight]round go off outside of battery[/highlight] when a casing got stuck behind the bolt. The gun spewed hot material out of the chamber and burnt my cheek (i'm a lefty).
The force of the round exploding outside of battery also cracked my magazine so the follower wont stay seated.
I've put 2000 rounds through the gun in the last 4 months and it is a very fun gun! I just wish I could get these issues resolved. As it stands now my friends are too scared to even shoot the thing. I e-mailed kel tec last friday and havent heard anything back. What should I do?!
