ok so i took the guns out for a good weekend in the bush, only to get problems.

i recently took my stock 10/22s and replaced a few parts.

First one giving me problems, my ruger with the Krinker kit. will not cycle a single round properly at all. ive changed to VQ extractors, maq release, autobolt release and vq trigger.

i cant get it to work with either my factory rotary mags or my Tac inc mags.
i will pull the bolt back and fire a single round hoping to chamber another instead the brass constantly gets caught up on the way out and gets crushed from the bolt coming back and jams, it doesnt want to extract properly.

and now neither wont work with my tac inc mags, CCI ammo or cheapy winny 16$ brick ammo.

they sometimes jam in the mag themselves and i have to put a knife down the mag to free them. and now for the life of me i cannot get them to sit properly in the mag well to feed properly... sat there forever adjusting and adjusting, it still just kept coming up at the wrong angle and jammed halfway into the barrel.

most frustrating time getting them to work with no progress, thank god i brought my shotguns to rip stuff apart. my pistol grip 500 made me happy.



EDIT: BTW my evo with the same parts as the krinker cycles properly and extracts flawlessly... just cant get a tac inc mag to work with it now...
 
I think it may be due to the fact that you refer to it as winny ammo and your 10/22 now has a hate on for you. If you used remmy ammo it would probably blow up in your face.

check your assembly. I am not too familiar with 1022 but problems with EVERY round usually means forgotten ejector somewhere on your workbench.
Unless it is kind of ejector that is actually part of receiver or trigger group. In that case check that ejector bump (pin) isn't bent.

It can also be because of bolt being a little too light/recoil spring too soft for that kind of ammo (too fast cycling)

Or if you installed some kind of recoil buffer - that will return bolt a bit too fast and catch brass.

Try low power ammo and see if the problem is still there.

Problems with feeding is a bit more complicated. It is somewhat inherent problem with rimfires for they are reamed rounds and do not have smooth feeding ramps but rather chamber with sharp edges. Sometimes it is a problem with mag sitting too low in the receiver. In that case I usually just file lips of mag (if it is plastic) until it does sit high enough and round is fed straight into the hole.

It happened to me once feeding problem was traced to firing pin has been hammered out of shape after so much shooting and did not return all the way into inside bolt groove, thus preventing cartridge from centering on a bolthead.

I also had firing pin broken once and it gave me the same problem with feeding - it fill fire alright but will not feed.
 
I feel your plan because I had one before. Did they work before you did the modification? Sometimes the after market drop in parts like the extracer or ejector need a little tuning.

the mags worked before i put the new stocks on and such, still problems with the rounds getting caught up in the mags... maybe i tightened the bolts up too much on the side of the mags.. i dunno. wierd. i would love figuring out why the mags wont feed now.. nothing in that aspect has changed, other than cleaning the mags, and putting them back together, but its all back 100% correct. i dont understand.
 
Been there, done that...

My 10/22 won't feed with it new Butler Creek folding stock and Red dot scope. I have ripped it apart, cleaned it well and it chomps on the rounds. I read on the threads that it might need a brick or two of ammo to work out the kinks. What a pain! I bought a H & R single shot .17 Mach 2 just incase I can't work things out. Gotta kill bunnies with something, rocks are way too cruel. Let me know what works.
