I hate my 10/22!

[lb-ft]

Spend zero dollars.

Thoroughly clean firing pin channel and pin. Lightly lube with the thinnest oil you can find. Repeat every few hundred rounds

those wide, flat firing pins in the 10/22 have MASSIVE surface area. This is not good when the action gets gunky.

I've "fixed" at least a dozen 10/22s with EXACTLY the same problems you note. Works like a charm, every time.

Best of luck

Volquartsen and Kidd products are top of the line components. Ruger magazines can be a problem as
well as the bolt. A new firing pin, spring and extractor did wonders on mine.
If you check out rimfirecentral. com it will have more information than you can digest. The 10/22 is
probably the most popular 22 rifle of all time. You can spend a lot of money on them but they are a
lot of fun and with the right set up extremely accurate.
