hi guys, new here, not new on the internet, know of Stick well, interesting guy thats for sure...
so here is the deal that i have...
i put together a 10/22 a couple years ago, and its always had this issue... sometimes it will jam (it has done it with the stock barrel as well) coming forward... the "jam", is the bolt will hang up about 95% of the way to full battery, and usually i will just get a "click" then nothing...
well a few weeks ago, i was at Ft Lewis, and i pulled the trigger, and it was like a musket went off... sh!t hit me in the face, blew the magazine out and down the side of the shooting lanes, generally wasnt fun...
i thought it was the ammo so i contacted CCI (was using mini mags at the time), and they determined that it fired out of battery, which i then went and checked because i thought he was wrong, i let the bolt all the way forward, pulled it back about 1/8 of an inch, and pulled the trigger, and it definitely slammed the hammer forward...
i dont know if that is supposed to happen, or what, but what i do know, is i want to get the jamming issue fixed...
what could be causing it? a bent charging handle rod? grittyness in the receiver? should i take a wire brush on a drill and try and clean it out? buffing compound and wheel? new handle and bolt?
anyways, this is it, its a Ruger 10/22, Green Mountain 20 inch .920 bull barrel, C and A Tactical bench rest trigger (Power Customs parts), cant remember but its either 9 or 13 ounces, Hogue skeleton stock, and a sh!tty Firefield 4-16X that actually works pretty well on a .22 rifle...
the target pictures are about 60-70 yards away, using Norma Elite Match and Tac .22...
im trying to figure this out without having to take it to a gunsmith.. ive done everything else to the rifle myself, so this should be able to be done as well... should i start with the charging handle? i have noticed, not sure if its supposed to be normal, but its sometimes a pain to put the bolt back in and get it all back together, everything is pretty tight in there, which is leading me to think that theres something up front that is slowing/catching it before it goes to lock/loaded.. anyone dealt with this?
there is a KIDD bolt on Ebay for 99 bucks, Volq's are 225, Power Customs are 140, and a Ruger stock one is under 30... but if im going to spend money, i may as well upgrade it... unless i dont have to...
advice?
