Hello,
I hope everyone has had or is having a safe and happy Independance Day.
I took out a Ruger 77/22 in 22lr earlier today for my Independance Day celebration and noticed that it had trouble ejecting the empty casings. I put a little more oil on the bolt where the bolt holds onto the cartridge rim and it did improve somewhat.
Any suggestions on if anything is mechanically wrong or could it be that the ejector was stiff because I hadn't shot the rifle in quite a while?
Thank you for your help.
