Spent 4 years in the 10th Mountain division putting many rounds down range with M16 A1 and A2 and found that just about every Jam was caused by the magazine. Good vid and info.
Thanks for the feedback Matt and thank you for your service.
You know it brother, tried to replace as many of the GI mags as I could with PMAGS.
Climb to Glory!
@@seanreese7805 maybe it's me, but I hate PMAGs... preferred the gi issue metal/ aluminum
Every single one of my mags must be bad because I've had nothing but problems with my 10/22. the 10. 15. & 25's, I have also tried several brands of ammo and I keep my gun clean.Maybe I got a Lemon. It's not even worth shooting.
My 10/22 works just fine with the 10 rd. rotary mags but when it jams, it's almost always with the 25 rd. mags. Now I know why. I'll try the tape trick. Thanks!!!!
The worst problem we have had with the latter model 10/22's is the painted receivers. Ruger does not anodize the receivers anymore, they are just painted. This causes the top of the bolt to start rubbing paint underneath the top of the receiver and slows the action down. We have to remove the paint from underneath where the bolt rides to get the bolt freed up to run properly. Also, nobody has ever made a magazine to work as well as the Factory 10 rounders. Bill @ Mitchell's Gunsmithing.
Thanks, this is the first video where the maker actually shows you in detail how jams are caused.
Excellent video. Probably one of the best I’ve seen, we’ll done, clear and concise. No blaring music or distractions like so many others.
Thanks K M.
I agree with you. Great shots of bolt, extractor and how they work together.
Excellent video. Thank you for explaining the ejection mechanism and reasons behind the jamming.
You are welcome Brian
The main reason for my 10/22 jamming was oil, especially oil on the extractor area. There is very little on the rimfire for anything to grab onto, and oil makes this an even greater problem. I learned to fire mine dry. What I would sometimes do is spray some brake cleaner on the extractor area and the chamber too. When I fired mine dry, all the previous problems went away. Then I can take it home, clean it and oil it if I want, but before I fire it, I have to get rid of the oil in the area of the extractor.
Thank YOU! The duck tape worked like a charm! After intense cleaning, and trying every brand of ammo I could get my hands on, I found your video and headed to the range. Testing my luck, I put the magazine in, charged, fired... Stovepipe! Cleared the firearm and promptly removed the duck tape from my range bag and followed your direction. Wow! Not one stovepipe or misfire the rest of the day! Thanks to you, I am now firing my 10/22 without the hassle/inconvenience of stovepipes. You have earned another subscriber, and I look forward to seeing what else I might learn from you. Can't thank you enough!
Thanks for the feedback Eddie
This did the trick. Taped on all mags to tighten them up. Not one jam after doing this.
Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Vinnie
When I was a kid I always wondered why my 50round mags would always jam and stovepipe in my ruger 10/22. Thanks for the vid
Well done. I've had my 10/22 for over 40 years and I learned a lot from this video. Another option: there are aftermarket (higher tension) plunger springs available that has helped my jamming issues immensely. Cheap, too.
Thanks for the feedback Eric
Who are those made by or source thank you!
Thought I knew just about everything about the 10/22. Did not know that the primary ejection was on the magazine. You should do more gun vids - appreciate your direct approach to how they function.
Thanks for the feedback.
Since when was the primary ejection on the magazine of a 10/22 ? Never heard of such a ridiculous thing. I have worked on 1022 for the last 30 years or so.
Charles,
Here is a video of Ruger identifying the ejector on the trigger assembly as the "secondary ejector". Scroll to the bottom video and watch at 2:03 ruger.com/micros/BX-Trigger/index.html
My video shows the shell ejecting with the primary ejector only on the mag and Ruger identifies the secondary ejector in their own video. If two different sources of videos don't convince you , then nothing will.
Kyle Rakestraw I stand corrected. Just goes to show you are never too old to learn something new. After all the years of working on firearms that is something I did not know. Now I feel more stupid than normal hahaha.
Charles,
Many mistake the 10/22 secondary ejector as the primary because it looks like a typical ejector. I made this video to share what I learned to help clear jams. Thanks for the feedback.
This has got to be the best information about 10/22 Jams/ Stove pipes on youtube!! Excellent job Sir. Thank you for breaking it down like you did. I'm praying that Ruger some how sees this video and fixes the issues you pointed out
Thanks for the feedback Gary
Thanks fixxed my problems. Though was modifying a 110rd drum. I had shapped the extractor bit of the mag feed lips wrongly. Your vid helped me get it 9 of ten atleast.
The first part of your video was for people who don't know one end of a gun from the other, and I was going to stop watching. But when you started talking about magazines I really started to pay attention. I was very impressed, and I learned a few things about that little gun. I've had a 10/22 since I was a kid, that's close to 50 years now, and I've also worked as a gunsmith. But you've added to my knowledge of that gun and showed me some in tricks to make it work better. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
Same here. Should re release it as two videos.
I wish I could shake your hand. The simple demonstration of how the magazine is tied into the ejection system made everything "click" together for me. Many thanks! You saved a couple of 10/22s from being expensive paperweights in my home!
Same here.
Great illustration of how the barrel, mag, and bolt work together!
4 years of learning about 10/22's and this is the best video I have seen ..Thankyou.
Thanks Mark.
Thank you very much for this video. I just bought a new 10/22 and have been very frustrated with frequent jamming on both the 10 and the 25 (more jamming when I use the 25). I look forward to trying your fix.
Good video, you taught me a couple of things. I don't have any problems with my 10-22 but I didn't know that the ejector was built into the magazine and I didn't know how important it was for the magazine to be pushed as far towards the barrel as possible. Thanks for your insight. I found that using quality parts is important. Installing shims for the trigger and hammer really seemed to help smooth out the 2 lb. trigger which helps with accuracy.
Thanks for the comments. If I can get to the range more, I may try some trigger work.
Great video, Thank You! I have had a 1022 for many years here in the UK. Shot thousands of rounds through it and mostly been very lucky with minimal feed/jam issues with most brands of ammo. However, I had never realised the mags were different sizes or has the primary ejector built onto the lip! I did pad my BX15 and BX25 mags with sniper tape, which made them run flawlessly, but had no idea that the ejector was the connected issue with any loose mag/stovepipe/jam issues! This knowledge has mad a great difference!
Thanks for the feedback Lawrence. It is good to hear from our friends over the pond. Did I speak proper english in the video ;)
@@kylerake Ha, You sure did! Thanks for the reply. (You have a great voice. I was an actor in a previous 'life' and still do the odd V/O. I can use your video to study your smooth accent!). Stay Safe in these crazy times and thanks again.
Thank you for posting your experience.
The fix for the Shield S15 magazines was to have those sit as forward as possible. Their 3rd gen mags came with dimples poking out on the mag's backside to cause them to sit more forward.
Thanks for the feedback
Awesome info. My butler creek 25s had been acting up. Glad to know there is a solution. Thanks buddy
Thank you Kyle. This was super well done video. Paced just right, no distracting music, clear and detailed video close ups, explanations of the problem followed by workable solutions, and many other good things. I now know my 10-22 so much better.
Thanks Rand
Thank you for a thorough explanation of the operation of the magazine and how it interacts with the operation!
your welcome
Also, check the feed lips on your mags.
I got my 10/22 TD from an online site and picked it up from my local FFL. Included was a bx25.
I got it home, looked it over, assembled it, loaded the magazine and tried to hand cycle through the mag to check feeding action.
1st hangup was on cartridge #2. And then 4, and then about 10 more times throughout the rest.
Looked at the carts and the bullets were dinged and dented.
Loaded a fresh set of cartridges into the mag and it all happened again, at random intervals.
I also discovered that I couldn't empty the magazine by pushing cartridges out with my thumb.
Took everything back to my ffl and explained the issue. They did everything I did and they confirmed the feed lips on the bx25 were bad since a new mag off the shelf wasn't replicating the issue.
Nice guys they are, they gave me the off the shelf mag, stuck my mag in its bag, and sent it back to Ruger as a defect.
So, reason #6, bad mag feed lips. If you've got an older mag that's been dropped and knocked around a bit, check the feed lips against one which feeds well. Or if you get a brand new one that won't feed, same thing.
P.s. Great vid. I always appreciate learning something new about my firearms.
As someone who's never even owned a 10 rd mag, I just assumed the slop in the bx25 was supposed to be there.
Now I know better.
(I would like to have a couple of 10 rounders in my bag but it just seems to be one of those things that I never think of at the gun shop and then smack my forehead over when I get home!)
Matt, Feed lips are another good one to check. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for showing how the magazine works as the primary ejector.
Your welcome David. I still get people on this channel that don't want to believe it ,even after seeing video evidence.
Really appreciate this video. Learned a lot! Grateful!
Three years later. Thank you for this very helpful/useful video. Very professionally made and presented.
Thank you
I had the same feeding issues on a brand new Ruger 10/22 takedown. I researched and found that the plunger and plunger spring that comes standard on the ruger is not stiff enough to hold the magazine in position as you shoot. Allowing a wobble of sorts and it doesn't line up right. I replaced the plunger and spring with KIDD Innovations parts for about $10-15 and haven't looked back. The spring is stiff and the plunger is stainless that comes from kidd and it was the best upgrade made. One thing to look into as well is the KIDD Auto release for the bolt catch. It takes away the need to try and find the sweet spot on the stock bolt catch. They are cheap as well no more than $11-20.
I'm going to try this upgraded plunger and spring from Kidd. I want to avoid duct taping my mags as this seems really ghetto to me.
I haven't had any problems with my bx25 magazines,but if I do I'll remember this video. Thanks
I have not had any issues with the BX-25 or the stock magazine.
I've had the same 10/22 since I was 6.
I've bought new 10/22's, 1 each time a child of mine turned 7-10, depending on the kids aptitude and maturity. Using standard 10 rnd mags that came with em, the only issues we've had is when we've failed ta clean ours.
Good video.
Thanks for the feedback Jimmy
Ive been having issue with mine a u solved them...knowledge is power and being willing to take time to share knowledge is a blessing and down right American!!
Thanks for the feedback jeff
Little j b weld on the mag seems to take care of the old magazines I also use clay to form my block well for my j b weld then once dry hit it with the drimel . Thanks for your hard work on your videos
This is what I'll use when and if the tape works. Just installed a bolt tune-up from volqartsen, and it's still jamming a lot. 😅
This worked for me ruclips.net/video/BG2icP0k1_Q/видео.html@@armstrong2052
I think you just solved a lot of my problems, Thank You!
I'm glad I could help.
Me too
I bought my first 1022 used and it had a 25 round mag and almost always had problems with the last few rounds in the mag ,
I sold it . Many years later I bought a 1022T and it came with 2 10 round mags and it feeds flawlessly . Now I think all I needed
was a factory 10 round mag for the first one , but I do like the dime to nickel sized groups at 50 yards from the 1022T . I really like
eating squirrels without shotgun shot in them lol . This was a great video , I love videos that explain what they or for , again
good job .
Excellent video and demonstration. The one other thing I noticed with mine was there were burrs on the charging handle rod which made the spring catch and the gun stove-piped every few rounds the first time I took it out. I cleaned the gun and polished the rod and it shot much better the next time.
Good tip. Thanks for the feedback
Good explanation of the magazine issue demonstrating with the the tape. I just got back from the range with my new break down 10/22. I had 10 BX 25 mags, and a few would not fit in, or lock in--as well as those double feeds or failure to eject. I want to clean it up first, before I take a look to see what the issues are. Ruger is the only brand I seem to have issues with, and the only one that has all these necessary upgrades to get it to work properly. My LCP II was almost put in the junk pile, only to discover the magazine release spring wasn't strong enough and required an "after market" upgrade. Yeah, my confidence goes out the window with Ruger. Thanks for showing this, hope I can get the rifle to work or figure out the magazine issues.
Thanks for sharing
Reason 3...I use Hoppe's 9 and Outers...after cleaning all the mechanicals, I use a lightly oiled Q-tip to lubricate the mechanicals and the bolt...over oiling causes sludge to build up, ergo, malfunctions...
Yeah , some idiot I bought my gun from drenched it gun grease. Had oil all over the mag and the bullets after insertion.
Awesome video though it does raise some questions. Why does Ruger make the mags fit so sloppy and why are the top dimensions different on 10 and 20 round mags? Good work, keep it up.
I also noticed that looking at the two mags the left side looks longer that the right side ... Kyle was comparing left side to right side @ 3 min mark... Not sure if that's right or makes any difference ... Thanks
MADE IN CHINA or very poor mold makers where ever they are from.
This is a pretty good video! I just found it after cleaning our mags.
We got a good deal on 22 rounds and faced problems with the amo.
After cleaning one mag (10 rounder) it worked way better but not perfect.
I will try out the tape hack and check if this works better, didn´t knew it was on the mag..
Hello ordered lot 10/22 parts yesterday 3 barrels,few stocks,trigger group metal one. I’ve always wanted 10/22 been watching videos for years. I’ve learned more on this one video than most all others combined. Thanks for information and ur time to put it out. Much appreciated. With that said do little binge watching later on ur channel. Can’t wait to see if there 1/4 good as this one. Tony the Tiger 🐅 there great lol. Anyway stay safe keep those video’s rolling. From ur WV hillbilly buddy.
What a helpful video. Very informative. Even 6 years later it's still helping folks. Thank you for taking the time.
Thanks for the feedback!
LOVE my RUGER 10/22 & it or my TAURUS TX-22 are my FAVORITE firearms ever.
Great survival pair.
I really appreciate your knowledge of the engineering behind one of favorite weapon systems.
Thanks Dale. It is a fun rifle.
good stuff here! the magazine fit issue applies to bolt actions too. minor adjustments on the plastic piece holding the magazine, to feed into the battery more directly, made all the difference with jams and skint lead on rounds inserted. especially stubby ones with blunt points.
Thank you for your explanation extraction process. I have had the typical problems with my 10/22, nothing to make me hate it. Now I know how to better prepare for & prevent feed problems
Thanks for the feedback Russ
Great video! I recently bought my first 10/22 and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. It jams all the time with very good ammo. This explains a lot
buffalobill90716 I just bought one too, because of all the hype. I'm not impressed, either...a quality firearm should RUN. This gun is crap! I got mine running, after several DIY mods. But, people act like this gun was sent from God...lol.
@@jamiesloan5902 yeah, my favorite part of my brand new out of the box 10/22 is the nifty bolt-action only mode it came installed with.......
Thanks for leaving this up... #5... is as timely and necessary as ever. Salute.
Tape simply works, the higher tension magazine release/plunger springs by Tandemkross also help, immensely.
Absolutely excellent video, I learned a lot. I assume electrical tape would work to keep the magazine forward. Comments are very welcome!
Great, straight to the point and very informative video...all without loud, annoying music! Thanks again...
I have the BX-25’s and I HATE how often they jam up!!!! 😣
Thanks for the tape recommendation. I also ordered 6 more BC-10 clips. 😒
I watched this video because my friend has a 10/22 with missing extractor and it fires flawlessly with same magazines that stovepipe in mine. The tape trick works for me. Also a new magazine that was very tight. Thanks for this tip! After watching the stovepipe demonstration, I think my friend’s rifle fired the rounds out of the old loose magazine without stovepipe BECAUSE of missing extractor. With no extractor, that early shell ejection from bumping into crooked parts of the mag won’t happen. Then the secondary ejection work fine. The only drawback with his rifle is, unloading the chamber is best done by firing the bullet. It’s fine for plinking but a hassle for hunting.
Still the best video on this subject I've seen.
Thanks ! My 10/22 is driving me crazy with the stovepipes. Will give it a shot.
leendert trggrtime did it work?
I just changed my plunger spring, to a stronger one (from a spray bottle, actually). It works fine, now... Good luck!
Thank you! This just taught me how I screwed up my gun when I reassembled it. I must have installed the trigger incorrectly. It’s not ejecting the round with no magazine in….and now the bolt is jamming which may be unrelated to the trigger.
Love it when someone has a clue these days instead of crazy advice without reasoning. Thanks a lot for this video. 👍 think this #1 is on target with what mine had problems with. I actually did bend my secondary ejector slightly and it did improve it slightly but I didn't bend it much and would rather not have & I tried to make sure it's not enough to rub anything and only bent the very tip. I'd leave it alone as well and focus on mag slop as in this videos suggestions. I also get a feeling that the side to side slop is a big a problem and the tape around it there seems to assist with both some so I think that may actually be better than a bigger bumper alone. I can't understand why Ruger doesn't address this issue with the high capacity magazines a little better. Anyway I'm all for modifying these guns. I've recently started and while expensive the quality difference is really super nice so far. I'm loving my new magpul hunter stock quality and magpuls no questions asked customer service in general. They're great and now I know why all the hype for their products and may be heading into my AR sometime!
Thanks for the feedback Brandon. I think the mags can also get wore out faster by shooting a lot of High-velocity (1300 FPS or so)rather than standard velocity of 1100 or so. This slams the mag harder and could cause mags to go bad early.
Kyle Rakestraw I still need to run more ammo to verify but I noticed I could never run my bx 25x2 mag without jamming a few times before but my magpul hunter stock has slightly closer tolerances side to side and I've only tested one clip but it ran a full clip of federal flawless with this new stock compared to my factory wood stock. Before I'd get a lot of jams with federal and less jams with Remington. I'm hoping that less side slop really fixed it but I'll see as I shoot more. A stock can't adjust front to back so I'm thinking this side slop may be a real important aspect. When I compared my Remington shells to the federal to see why the less jams with Remington I noticed they have a very slightly sharper less rounded rear rim edge. And since it ran this 25 rounds of federal so smooth I'm having hope it really helped! Before about 6 rounds max all it would run with federal. I usually had 2 to 3 jams per bx15 clip before and easily as many with the bx25.
ok, That is good too Brandon. I have very high success with CCI mini mags
I got my 10/22 for christmas in 1983. I have put thousands of rounds of all kinds through it (high velocity, crimped birdshot, capped birdshot, subsonic, etc.) As a youngster I wasn't the best gun owner in terms if maintenance and cleaning but I have never once had a failure to feed or failure to eject. To me this gun is the AK-47 of the 22LR. "It doesn't break, jam or overheat. It'll shoot if it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it..." Maybe I just got one made on a Monday.
Wow, shoots after filled with sand! I'll take some of that.
GREAT INFO. By far the best video I’ve watched on this subject. I really hope this helps me because my stock carbine does not feed at all.
I just wanted to say that I used the tape on the bumper mod on my double 25rd bx mags and a 25 rd hot lips mag and it did the trick. My 10/22 would jam every other shot and now it feeds perfect, all 25 except for the duds here and there. Thank you for the video brother!
Good to hear Joshua
I'm subscribing, thank you!
Awesome vid! I never thought about the actual mechanics of a 22Lr ruger action. Vefy enlightning! Thank you for such a great informational video! I will use this vid and information as i get ready to build a few 10/22 rifles
Thanks David
Good info. Definitely learned something. Lube wise, I have had some cold weather related issues and switched to a dry graphite lube for cold weather and it worked very well. Also am a firm believer in cleanliness of these guns for reliability but know of a couple of high mileage guns that never get cleaned. So, really, the magazine is everything as is true with most autoloaders. Love the 10/22.
Thanks for the comments
My 10/22 is fairly new and only had maybe 100rnds through it and started stovepipeing and then the casings will also stick in it when the action closes. Will try cleaning soon just to make sure
Sometime the 10/22 will have issues for the first 1000 rounds or so until they get worked in a little bit. Don't go too crazy unless your issues persist after a bunch of rounds.
"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"! A most EXCELLENT & worthwhile video! Your instructions were clear! Never had a problem with my old Ruger 10/22 sporter of many years ago, but will check it out anyway. This is the kind of video that makes watching gun videos such a pleasure! GREAT JOB!!!!! "Gesundheit" & pass the box of. 22s poleaze!
Thanks M.r Thickey
best fix ive seen yet! who woulda thought that adding electrical tape to the back of the mag to push it closer to the barrel would fix it! thank you again man!
You are welcome
One of the best videos I've seen on the 10/22. Was super cool to learn and understand how the bolt/ejection system works. Awesome! Can't wait to try the tape mod on my BX-25s. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the feedback
I added some JB Weld on the back side of my mags. File and sand down with a taper, thicker on the bottom until it fits snug but not too tight. Go slow and take your time. Trimming a touch from the mag release helps too.
I like it!
HA, love the video, you are one of the few folks who know how the 10/22 ejects! thanks for restoring my faith in humanity.
I just got home from the range. I was shooting my 10/22 using Remington Golden bullet. My rifle was brand new with lots of mods. It has Volquartsen extractor, firing pin, bolt handle/recoil rod, automatic bolt release bracket, and a Tactical Solutions polymer bolt buffer. I also installed a Ruger BX trigger and Tactical Solutions extended mag release. I took the 10 round rotary mag it came with and 2 25 round BX mags. The results after firing about 250 rounds wasn't really good. I had 2 misfires and 4 jams. The 10 round jammed first, I need to take it apart now due to it feeling really loose inside. The 25 round mags also jammed a few times each. So this tape trick will hopefully fix most of my issues. I did however have one jam where the casing failed to eject which really surprised me with my mods to attempt to fix that issue. I am definitely going to add some duck tape to my mags next time and try it out. Thank you for the tip even though this video is 3.5 years old its still useful information.
I’m really surprised that Ruger hasn’t “fixed” their magazines to have the same dimensions at the top like the BX-1. Excellent video!! Just seems a shame that we have to “fix” their flaw with duct tape.
@one time I got a clear one ,would not run ,,time passed ,sanded the sides and polished them runs like a champ!
My 10/22 started jamming right out of the box. I was using Aguila ammo. Then I switched to CCI mini-mags and stinger (or "stangers,") and the jamming seemed be resolved. Remington worked ok as well.
This feels like a great video for general rifle issues, as well. Very informative and easy going, great job! Thanks for posting this
Thanks for the info! I just ordered a 15 rd mag. I’ll see how it works out but, if it malfunctions, I’ll use the tape remedy🤙
Nice vid. My 10/22 was so bad I almost got rid of it. I replaced extractor with same one you did and also got a stronger magazine holder spring. Runs great now and fun to shoot but still will only run with CCI which I’m ok with.
Thanks for the feedback Mark.
Just got a 10/22 I also got 2 box-25’s I’m going to 100% do the tape trick . Great tip man. I’m doing a couple upgrades IE a new bolt extractor and firing pin so I’m gonna see how it runs without the tape first. Great insight
I bought a banana clip for my ruger. All hell broke loose with jams and stuff. Thought my rifle was shot. Now I know it was the crazy MAG!! Can't wait to give my old girl a good cleaning and then try the 10 round mag again to be sure she's ok , and tape the banana loca! Thank you so much!! :))
Thanks for the feedback Cactus
Thanks man. I have been cleaning and polishing lol I have about 5 hours in it and 3 minutes worth of taping the mags all nice and neat was all it took.
THANK YOU SIR. I wish I would have seen this a few days ago.
Thanks for the feedback
What a cracking video.Thanks for that .Got an AMT lightening ...Jams regularly ...Will try the mag spacer trick.Thanks .
Thanks for the feedback
@@kylerake No problem .Keep up the good work .Merry Xmas from Scotland x
Your suggestion about magazine modification was absolutely correct. It worked. I just don’t know how to fix cheap dirty 22 ammo. After several rounds 5 magazine of 25 I have to perform a quick cleaning of burnt powder 😡
Over-oiling will cause build up
I like you explanation very in formative and helpful ,I've had lots of jamming with butler creek magazines and the drums time to time .I will try the tape and keep my fingers crossed
Used to use the old ram-line 25 shot back in the 80s shooting a brick every week never oiled only outer barrel cleaned with starting fluid bore included VERY few stovepipes and when I did it was usually ammo related (Remington brass had black crud)
Thanks for sharing
I hope Ruger CEO's are watching this video ..!!
why ruger takes 20 years to fix anything , only after the dies are worn out ..then a maybe a new design ...
Roy Rodriguez the dies would wear far sooner than 20 years...
Look at how long it took for them to come out with the Mark IV. Only after the S&W Victory started stealing sales from the Mark III. Though that's not the "official" story that Ruger tells about how the Mark IV came about. Unless it's hurting sales or there's a lawsuit involved, Ruger doesn't like change.
The rossi rs22 is looking mighty good in comparison, and at roughly half the price as well as less issues all around...
@@jarkoer Have had my mark lV for 2 years now and shoot it regularly burning through 400 to 500 rounds per session. I love the weight of the bull barrel stainless but have correlated the jamming issues with two things: 1. Ammo manufacturer, CCI works best with no problems (so far), Remmington and Winchester bulk where , on average, two out of ten rounds are variously problematic 2. This gun HAS to be clean to the point where on long shoot days, I take it to the truck for a breakdown cleaning a couple of times. Cheap bulk ammo = dirty firing. Of course anyone who shoots knows this relationship. Keep the gun clean and use good ammo. Lol
This is Far the best video online , explaining
Tks for this video. I dint see this subject treated anywhere else. I planed to buy a 15 round mag, I'll pay attention to this possible jam.
Very good informative video. Thanks!!
2023, July - still as pertinent as ever! GREAT video, smart man! THANK YOU!
Excellent video my friend!!you have diffendly helped me out on my confusion of my problems. Thank you and blessings for shining light into others.
Sir, this is a quality Video, I have added You to My subscription List. I just bought My Son a Ruger 10/22 International Carbine.
Thanks Rick. I checked out a couple of your videos. Have you had a chance to shoot your steel flange yet? I love shooting steel.
Kyle Rakestraw Yes, It is hard to hear on the Videos, but it works. I just used it on My Shout Out Video.
Thank you for the video, I have an older 10_22 and I'm sure some of these fixes will work for me
Excellent video. I've already replaced the extractor and I'll be taping up my large cap mags tomorrow. Well done sir.
Thanks for the feedback Greg.
The Butler Creek magazines are actually really good. My uncle has had the same couple mags for 15 yearsand gets it out every now and again especially on Fourth of July and it's always fired properly
I keep getting jams on my 22 charger, so I'll try this minor adjustment. What you said makes sense, and I'd love it to stop jamming! I love the gun otherwise!
Well done video! Really like that you give good explanations that are plausible and provable. thanks for your time spent!
Mark Johnson thanks for the feedback
Excellent video, thanks. I have had issues where the extraction is weak, and even sometimes gets stuck on the deep side of the chamber, while another round is going in.... a serious jam. Or the spent round extracts but gets crushed by the closing before complete exit.. stovepipe. I have a binary trigger which might be escalating this issue, but I will try your suggestions.
Wow good presentation on the mechanics. I am having problems with one of my 10/22s. A few jams, Ruger told me to use CCI Mini-Mags ammo. Also, there are problems with the clear plastic magazines...they are a bit wide and stick in my "Collectors Edition", but not in my Take-Down. Ruger will exchange the magazines for the black ones or I will have to ship the rifle back for the stock to be replaced since the mag-well is too tight side-to-side.
Good information on the 10/22 & thanks for sharing your ideas on the tape or at least how the mags can be part of the problem. Will try the tape & see if it helps after I really clean the mags, take care.
ok, let me know if it works for you.
OK, I did add a piece of tape to one end of my 10 round magazines and can tell that they now take an extra amount attention to get into mag well, just a tighter fit of course.....but there is no jamming or wobble of the mags as any extra wobble space is now fill up. Easy simple fix. A good job on cleanings mags is also complete & done.
"no jamming " Great to hear! that Is why I made the video, to help others. You can try a thinner tape/material or you may find that the mag does loosen a bit after using it a few times. Thanks for the feedback
Going to give this a try, basically new ruger 10/22, loose bx25 mags, stovepipe 1/4 of the time. Hoping this will solve the issue!
Mag well has two threads for set screw to adjust mag angle to feed. They are 12-24x1/4 set screw to install and adjust mag play. Cheers!
Great Video. I did not realize that the primary ejector is on the magazine. I learned something today. Thank you.
Good to hear!
Many thanks for this clear, informative, instructional video. Nice work, Sir.
Thanks I just bought A new ruger 10/22 talo itac, after 4 rounds it jams, I may call them,but after trying the duck tape It took the slack out,it shot great,I order some 10 round mags today.I really appreciate your video.Thanks again.This is my first ruger ,I was getting very frustrated until I saw your video.
I jumped the gun , I sent it back to ruger ,they said the receiver needed to be changed,after I got it back it’s now jamming at 12 rounds instead of 4. It had to be sent to A FFL dealer because the serial number was changed. Now they owe me 25 dollars.The. Bx 25 mags doesn’t work well with some rifles.If anyone out there having the same problems let me know. Thanks
