Hi,
Can anyone tell me if they've experienced Ruger 10/22 extraction problems, and the solution? I recently purchased a standard Ruger 10/22 carbine. Right out of the box, about one or two out of every 10 rounds I fired stovepipe jams. I disassembled, thoroughly cleaned the gun, and tried again with no luck. I also tried different magazines (aftermarket), and fired single shot without the magazine with the same result.
I disassembled a second time, and removed the bolt. Needless to say, I'm not too impressed with the stock extractor. I placed a round in the bolt to check extractor clearance, and the extractor hook isn't even close to the the rim. I suspect this may be causing the problem.
I've ordered an aftermarket extractor (Volquartsen) I'd like to try. Has anyone else tried this solution? If so, please let me know if it solved your problem.
