Went to the range today with my dad and brought along my brand new Ruger 10/22 and his old Jennings J-22 just for fun...Cleaned and oiled the little pistol before we left and it shot surprisingly well. Now on to the 10/22...
There was absolutely no malfunctions even with the cheap Remington brick pack ammo, every round fired and never jammed. The only thing I'm noticing is, the "Finish" is starting to peel off the receiver and I'm starting to think the entire receiver is pot metal. Gun functioned flawlessly, but the plastic parts worry me a bit, Who the heck uses a plastic barrel band on a rifle? Won't it melt? The barrel gets very hot.
Although the rifle is working great, These little issues irk me a bit and I'd like some input from other owners of the New Ruger 10/22's.
