Posted a question about my Ruger 10/22 a week or so ago, to which I received several great answers, and hopefully I can trouble some of yall for more help.
Experienced several failure to feeds with my 10/22 a couple days ago, and figured it was probably from improper cleaning/dirty mag's. Cleaned both thoroughly, and yet the ftf's persisted.
Found on a different thread that the ftf could be the bolt, and a dirty firing pin. So, upon examining the bolt in an attempt at disassembly (you too can examine it in the attached thumbnail), I saw a hole right through the bolt. A look at the manual told me that a pin (the "firing pin stop pin," part B-13) is supposed to be there. No clue how long this has been missing, but I'll replace it.
The main question is, could that pin be responsible for my ftf's? I just don't see how the firing pin helps chamber the next round.
Additionally, even though the "firing pin stop pin" is removed (missing), I still can't remove the actual firing pin. Anyone know some tricks on getting it out? I can feel that it's still on some sort of spring, so the part is generally in order, I think.
