Build a 10/22 to cycle all ammo, from CCI Quiets up to CCI Stingers, is it possible?

Thanks buddy, I appreciate all the input and encouragement.

Seems like it might be too much to ask to have it run on all ammo types, needing to hand cycle the quiets really isn't that big a deal.

I am looking for a good do it all rifle so if the trade off is hand cycling the quiets that's not a huge deal. I certainly don't want to create an unsafe condition.

Hand cycling Quiets will not fix the issues you will have with the rest of the power ranges; from Subs to Hyper... even Subs to HV'S are often a problem... and the tighter your chamber, the more exaggerated the problem.
 
After putting maybe 15000 through my 10/22, it will cycles cci quiet sometimes. I had a go at polishing the bolt to my abilities. Didn't make much difference. Shooting it tons makes a difference. I now have a 16" tacsol barrel and hogue stock. Love it!!

Too light of a spring and the HV rounds are still burning while being extracted... Best case you get a hand and face full of burning powder, worst case the head blows off causing some damage to you and the gun. It's the spring and weight of the bolt that keeps the round in the chamber long enough for the pressure to drop so it can be safely extracted.
I know when my MkII pistol is ready for a new spring when I start getting powder burns on my hand....

^^^^^^^ This......

I built one of my 10/22 takedowns to cycle everything and it certainly did! Would cycle anything but and this is a big BUT.....anything over 1070 fps and I was getting peppered by hot gases and burning powder especially being a left handed shooter and in addition to all that was the problem of accuracy I began to have with supersonic ammo .... so now I have my Subsonic TD and my supersonic TD.....
