Ruger 10/22 bolt sticking

[dbaird]

Sometimes when I pull back on charging assembly to load a round into chamber of a 10/22 it goes back about 1/2 way and stops. Will not go back far enough to load chamber. I take stock off and work with it and it finally releases all the way back. Only does this once in a while- any ideas to why and way to prevent this?

Clean it really good! Tighten action screw but not to much. Carry on.

I would break the rifle down completely, removing the bolt, etc., and clean well, scrub the interior of the action with a scotch brite pad and clean again, lube all the internals and re-assemble.

Maybe scope base retaining screws coming in contact with bolt.

When it happened to me, I had the ejector out of place when I assembled it.

Clean, clean. clean. Check for burrs on the cocking handle guide rod. Part #B-48A in your owner's manual.

I just went through this with a 1022 I'm redoing. Inside the receiver on the top there were some burrs around the screw holes for the scope base mounting.
