10/22 one in a million

[wirewelder]

Last week i posted a thread to help me find out why my sons new Ruger 10/22 carbine would not feed rounds. I received a lot of feedback from all you folks, thank you. In my pursuit of the problems solution we took it into a professional local armorer and gunsmith. If you can believe it ; after complete disassemby of the rifle he found that the bolt was riding to low in the receiver and was actually not lining up with the chamber at all. He has serviced many of these type of rifles, and has never seen this before. He says it is probably one in a million. Rifle has been sent to Ruger yesterday, we'll see what their solution to the problem is. Will they have to basically rebuild the entire rifle or just change the bolt? Thats anyones guess. Have any of you ever seen or heard of this type of problem with this particular rifle. And if so what was done to repair problem. Thanks, Randy

Never heard of that type of problem before. But at least you aren't spending countless weeks trying to remedy the problem only to come up empty handed now. You'll have a 100% 10/22 back in short order I imagine.

The design on a 10/22 is bombproof

How that abortion made it through production is amazing. The only time I ever had problems with the mine was using old Ramline 25 rd banana clips. The feeding on those was atrocious.

yeah you know i think i might have the same problem. There are times that it will jam every other fired round. or it wont eject the round and the bolt with fall down on the empty, and still put a round in the chamber. wow its annoying. its a good thing they dont make the servise rifle. lol.
