Double feeds generally have one of two causes, or a combination of both; bad mag, or bad disconnector. I would label your mags, a piece of tape on the base with numbers is fine for testing,then test fire. If you only have one mag, get another one, then test. If you have malfunctions with only one mag and not the other, get rid of it. If it happens using both mags, on to the trigger group. Disassemble/reassemble as mentioned by F-111 John, test with both mags; If it still malfunctions, you have two choices; Send it to Ruger, or put a different trigger group in. I recommend the BX25, as mentioned, it is an upgrade and should solve your problem. I still recommend the hold-open and extended mag release I mentioned earlier.Took it back to the range today. Test fired 10 rounds through it with no problem. Started my first string of the stage, gun jammed on the 9th shot. Exact same failure mode as last week. One round half way in the chamber and another in the chamber at an angle with the bolt slammed onto both of them. We had to pry one of the rounds out with a knife.
I hope your friend can fix it for you.
