I recently built up my 10/22 and was not pleased with the outcome. I got a green mountian .920 barrel and stock to fit. I put it all to gether and had alot of trouble with the gun not firing or extracting shells. So I put a new firing pin and extractor in and it helped a bit but i still had trouble. So I thought the trigger might be the issue. I put in a Jard custom trigger but it didn't help (love the trigger though). The other day i took the barrel off and tried to push a bullet in by hand. It went in good until the last 1/4 of the shell, was very hard to push in and then it must be pride out with a screw driver. Is Head space the problem??? (I have tried expensive and cheap ammo) I don't know what to think of this but I am not very happy.

Anyone else have this type of problem or have any suggestions???

Thanks
 
How expensive ammo?

Sounds like you got the match chamber.

Tried any actual match ammo, or just the expensive stuff at the sporting goods place (not likely to carry match ammo!)

I used Federal Gold Medal Target(the expensive) And Winchester Experts (the cheap)

I am going to try some eley or Lapua to see what it does.
 
chamber

Check the entrance to the chamber and make sure there isn't a burr there or something. If you own a brass .22 cleaning brush, try cleaning that chamber as well. Lots of aftermarket barrels will not let you extract a live round, that is common. If you are using CCI ammo, it tends to be larger in diameter and will not work in some chambers. If this barrel is new, I would contact whoever you bought it from and see what they will do. GM is very good about their products and will stand behind it. JMO, later.
 
I have two of the same barrels.. Mine have flutes... they both will run anything I put in them...

Sounds like the chamber is messed up..
 
My Green Mountain barrel feeds flawlessly with any ammo I've tried in it, but, of course, shoots the best groups with quality target ammo. It will also nearly always allow a live round to be extracted. Very rarely, a live round won't extract, but a couple more tries will do it.

It sounds to me like you have a barrel with a bad chamber.
 
I'd try different ammo, disassembling and cleaning the extractor. Use the OEM extractor spring, its stiffer. I take it that you have tried cleaning the chamber?
 
That is why I not going to a GM barrel, I owned one before and was not happy with it. right now my next build will be a Whistlepig or a Kidd barrel but will cost me big $$$

There's absolutely nothing wrong with GM barrels.
Best bang for the buck in my book and in MANY others too.
NOBODY..not even Kidd or Whistlepig make perfect barrels 100% of the time.
