10/22 auto bolt release
- Thread starter got to go
- Start date
What's the rush to release the bolt if you're at the range? Cleaning is better accomplished if you remove the bolt. Regardless the standard hold open works just fine.
I have a hard time fathoming why so many focus on non performance enhancing mods as opposed to shooting and mastering the fundamentals. I also see very litte logic in shooting a non restricted at the range. Static targets from a static position at a known distance from the bench or prone gets old fast.

Its okay. Its called drive to the sticks and shoot. Myself and many more who live in a city do just that.

Thanks, that is a great site for 10/22 information.http://gulfcoastmasons.com/OTHERSITES/RUGER22/RUG2.htm My bolt release was a major pain to release. For me it was a good mod. TDC seems to forget not everyone has the opportunity to shoot on the wide open range of Alberta or somewhere similar. Why shoot at the range ? Just this last week there was a article in the local paper where some local morons were shooting up on one of the local hills and left a pile of household garbage and what looked like 3-4 Hundred 12 gage hulls scattered over the ground.That's a good way to win support from non shooters.

So a handful of morons means the rest of us should hide at the range? Some strange logic there. As for wide open Alberta. There's plenty of wide open area in all of canada. That's a lame excuse.

Just seen all the bickering going on thought I'd jump in I think that mod is very useful my buddies release was murder when he got, I'm going to fill him in on the mod. Also what's the point of having a gun if u don't take it down and try stuff to make it better its fun and that how u learn. I also agree with TDC with live in Canada if u can't find open places to shoot u better get out of your basement. There is nothing more fun than setting up your own targets and unloading as long as it is done safe and u clean up after. Anyways spilt my bean thanks y'all for the info
I did the mod because the 10/22 release was not always the easiest thing to use. Now, after wasting all my time and energy I can operate the gun with winter gloves on, that was important to me.
In the process of wasting time and energy I also got a great insight in to the trigger assembly of that wonderful gun!

If you can't operate the hold open, then spend some time and practice. In the same amount of time you spend doing this mod you should be able to figure out the stock setup.

Indeed...
I now know the true meaning of the face palm. as I was composing a post to try to tell TDC somthing I acually facepalmed.

just what are they putting in the water in Debt Free Alberta?
Who cares what people do to their guns if its not hurting anyone? I've also 'wasted time' with this mod and you know what, I prefer it to the way it worked before. So someone else doesn't think its worth doing, so what! Don't bash someone for customizing their stuff. I see those spinner rims on cars. I think there the stupidest thing ever, it doesn't make it go faster but you know what? It make the owner happy!
