10/22 jamming with suppressor problem....

[Mr.Knowit all]

I have a Ruger 10/22 and it shoots well but when I put my GemTech on it blows much of the carbon and burnt powder back in the action and on the mag causing some failure to feed issues. I started to run it dry-no lube at all but does anyone have any advice on what else I can do?
Thank you.

Take a close look at your magazines. Look for excessive crud buildup on the feed ramp which is built into the mag. It doesn't take a whole lot of this stuff (a combination of bullet lube and carbon blowback) to affect the bullet feed on your 10/22.

This is normal, get used to cleaning it, or get a bolt action.
Some ammo is better than others on cleanliness, like the Norma Tac, which is what we use.

If the temps were on the cold side, the bullet lube could have been hardening, similar to the glaze on donuts (not the dreaded donuts ). I noticed the lube on some rimfire ammo "glazing" over last year when I was playing with a 10/22, and causing jams. Just a thought.

^^^This right here. Suppressed guns are cooler than all get out until you have to clean them. Myself, I'm all but done trying to run a semi auto gun with one on.
I tried a can on a Sig MPX, gun known to plug the gas piston with just normal use, even bought adj piston, train wreck in my book. Somedays I wish I could just take a chop saw to a handful of mine, then it would be out of my head that I need to find a use for them.

If it'll help, you can just go ahead and send all of those troublemakers to me, I promise I'll find a use for them, and to show good faith on my part, I'll even pay for the shipping.

If it was only that easy, lol

That's why I ditched my 10-22. Carbon problems, jamming etc, without a suppressor..

I haven't had any trouble with mine and I can't remember the last time I've cleaned it. I avoid waxy ammo and use only the slightest amount of lube.

Your always going to have more blowback, and that means a dirtier running gun, when you use a suppressor. The suppressor creates back pressure and blows the debris back into the action. Not much you can do about it other than cleaning the gun more often.
