| Senior Member  | I bought one for my grandson, and it's the jammingest pig I've ever seen. It jams up with an empty round several times out of each magazine. I feel sorry for Cody, it really frustrates him, and I feel like we got a p.o.s. Is this normal for 10/22's? At this point, I wouldn't buy another one. |

How often do you clean it? Are you using a factory clip or an after market? I have found that the Winchester Dyanpoints work best in my 10/22. There are some others that work well but for the price I buy the Winchester, and I have very few jams with that brand. As far as the cleaning I only do a through cleaning about once a year. I have noticed that when I strip it down and do a good cleaning it takes a number of rounds to get back into the grove. I have been told that this is because of the lubricating properties of the rim fire ammo. Most after market clips work well in my 10/22, but I have some old ones that are worn and some times they have trouble loading. But nothing that frustrates me to the point that I would call the 10/22 a P.O.S. I hope that you can figure this out for you grandson because the 10/22 is a great rifle and I would hate to see you get rid of it. Despoiler | |

| Senior Member | F.M. Jack, Ruger 10/22 rifles are quite cool and excedingly customizeable. Very truly yours, Deep13 Quote:

| Senior Member | RonDog: If I over-oil mine it will have terrible feeding issues, otherwise it feeds flawlessly. Could that be part of the problem? Only other culprit might be the magazine, but others have hit on that. Wind it to specifications after you are done cleaning it! Also, both of mine are stock and shoot excelent groups...but yes, they are as customizable as the AR-15. What do you want your 10/22 to look like today?

| Member | About the only reason a 10-22 jams repeatedly is the extractor. Replace it with a Volquartsen Exact Edge and you shouldn't have any problems. You can check to see if the factory extractor fits properly by removing the bolt and seeing if the extractor will hold a case against the boltface without falling. If it doesn't, you can heat the rear of the extractor red while the hook half is in a vise and tap the rear lug gently to reduce the distance between hook and lug. A simpler fix is the Volq. Exact Edge. PeeShooter |

| Senior Member  |  Here's the one I've worked on. I'm planning on adding a bi-pod and a longer barrel on it eventually.
