Ruger 10/22 Modders/Owners Thread

Did it do the same with the factory extractor?

 

Yep. It didnt do it when it had the factory barrel. I have tried a couple different mags too. One old and one new. I cleaned the old one and still is doing it.

 

What about the factory extractor?

 

handled a new 10/22 takedown i like it...think i might sell my 10/22 stainless and pick one up i the future

 

Yes, it did do it with the factory extractor after the AB barrel was installed.

 

tighter chamber will result in better groups but also result in making it harder to feed and extract. You just have to find a happy medium.

there is a write-up on rimfirecentral.com on how to fix the feeding/extracting issues.

 

Thanks! I have been looking on that website for some suggestions on how to resolve the issue. I want to try using better quality ammo first before I start making more modifications.

 

From everything ive read CCI is about the cleanest, most consistent ammo you can run in your gun. I think it was the mini mags.

 

Finally got a new stock for the Charger. It feels so much better and went together in about 5 minutes.

 

I bet thats fun!

 

I think I'll throw a red dot back on it. Messed around yesterday just eyeballing over the top rail and it's super easy to plink cans and the .22 catch can from 25-35 yds. Or maybe a set of flip up iron sights....

 

a cheap red dot would probably work really well

 

I went with a bushnell cheapo red dot on top and a 45 degree offset apeture sight. Then underneath I have a cheap light lazer combo (ebay from hong kong). Great from the single point sling to shoot from the hip. Red dot makes it great to shoot with both eyes open as well. I shoot while hiking more than from a bench. Just more fun to shoot on the go and this little package is one even my 5yo can shoot.

 

Here's what I have laying around. BSA red dot UAG red/green dot and then the nc star 2-7x32 long eye relief scope that I had mounted before I switched stocks. I'm thinking about going with the BSA for now.

 

I installed a weaver rail and put leupold rings on mine.

 

What kind of stock were you thinking of? one for a heavy barrel?

Now that I built my current .22 with a heavy barrel im wanting one with a regular barrel again. This one is too damn heavy to haul around the deer lease

 

Yep, this. Bull barrel was the first I built, after a few squirrel hunts, I was like to hell with this, I need a light sporter for a carry gun. Seems I've even posted this somewhere in this thread.

 

Im almost positive me and you had this exact conversation before

 

Are you gonna just do a whole other build, or revert back to factory? Only a couple folks that make sporter profile barrels. Someone over on RFC (can't recall username) is reworking factory tubes, making them shoot/group as well as the heavy target barrels. I'll see if I can find the link.

 

I'll keep my heavy build but Ive been thinking about getting a cheap bolt action 22lr for pest control. Wal Mart sells a savage bolt with a 7rd mag for around $127.

Ive been using some Aguilla super quiet stuff, it has like a 22gr bullet. this stuff is retarded quiet but wont feed or cycle in my 10/22 and im tired of having to pull the bolt back and contortion my hand to get a round in the chamber.

Ive tried the CCI quiet as well but its not nearly as quiet as the Aguilla
