This is an update on the issue. With careful resetting the safety trigger by a extra push on the finger on the safety trigger for about a thousand shots, somehow the miss-firing went away. Now the rifle is operating fine without any miss-firing even without extra push on the safety trigger. Nevertheless, I am extra careful in keeping this rifle clean to prevent dirt built-up, especially in the trigger area. Somehow, I have a feeling that the problem may come back. I did contact Xisico, USA on the issue, and they did call me back and expressed concerns on the issues. At the same time, the rep told me the he has assigned engineers to check the safety mechanism. I obtain a XS46u .177 and have tried it, and this rifle is shooting fine with excellent accuracy, even during the break-in period. Of the .22 and .177 versions, I like the .22 more. My note here is not to discourage or encourage anyone to buy or not to buy the rifle, but to make sure people don't get hurt. I own about 20 good air rifles, and some dated back 25 years ago. This miss-firing incidence scares me, and it reminds me of Remington 700 as shown on CNBC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-44524118234856783832011-01-09T18:05:44.206-05:002011-01-09T18:05:44.206-05:00Thanks for your comments.

If you have not already done so, I would strongly suggest that you report this problem to Xisico USA - the US importers of this model - and ask for their support in resolving the issue. <br /><br />Please email me directly at "sales@archerairguns.com" if you feel there's something I can do to help.Stephen Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543155589352079608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-75955289685330314402011-01-08T17:55:11.553-05:002011-01-08T17:55:11.553-05:00I have purchased the XS46u .22 and tried it. The r...I have purchased the XS46u .22 and tried it. The rifle is pretty powerful, about the same power as the B21 .22. However, in less than 100 shots, I started having problem with the trigger safety resetting after the barrel is cranked. When the trigger is fully reset, the rifle fires with a very slight pull single stage. When the trigger safety is not fully reset, somehow it causes the trigger release, sear, and the piston, not in proper position. So, when the trigger safety is not fully reset, the release of the safety trigger would actually fires the rifle, which can cause serious injuries. So be very careful when you get a chance to buy one of the XS46u. I am not sure if my rifle is typical to all the other XS46u. However, it better to be safe than to be sorry. When I check the trigger system, it does not seem damaged. Now, I am concerned if the safety trigger missed firing is a design flaw. Just be very careful with the rifle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186681188953339980.post-10312826437475943652010-01-31T10:16:38.335-05:002010-01-31T10:16:38.335-05:00I'm not so sure that it LOOKS like an M-1 Carb...I'm not so sure that it LOOKS like an M-1 Carbine, but it FEELS like one to me from the perspective of size and handling.
