First patient:

Its a nordic 10/22. Shoots amazingly well (24 of 25 on 5.5" target at 50 yds rapid fire). Small problem, probably easily fixed.

I removed the YHM handguard from the nordic system for maintenance and cleaning. When I re-assembled it, the handguard, when tightened rotated about 10 degrees too far, making the pic rails all on a slight angle.

What did I do wrong!? How do I get it to line back up and be TIGHT when its lined up (otherwise the vertical foregrip swings side to side in firing).

Second Patient:

Is a Krinker Plinker (bone stock set up).

The rifle, after conversion, had a sticky trigger, it wouldn't reset between shots. The trigger had to be manually nudged forward ever so slightly. You would hear a slight click, and then it would fire. The action cycled problem free. After this problem was encountered, I took it to my local gunsmith, who installed an upgraded high tension spring to improve the return of the spring and reset it with more authority.

After taking it to the range I had an immediate problem, its hang firing. First round fires problem free. Action cycles, then you go to fire next shot, nothing. Repeated presses of the trigger do nothing. Then, in a most dangerous manner, after 10 seconds or so it fires.

Any ideas from the 10/22 doctors/surgeons would be greatly appreciated.

What does the hammer strike look like on the rimfire case? Deep or shallow?
Using good ammo?
Sounds like it needs a cleaning.
 
I didn't see the hammer strike because the casing ejects with some force, but I'll take it to the range later in the week and try and save one or two.

I was using (I think) remington target loads (which I think are good), and run consistently through the other rifle.

The rifle is pretty well maintained, and I think it was well cleaned after prior use, but had not been fired in a couple of months (I know, I'm a bad boy).

Is there any part that insufficient cleaning would result in this behaviour?
 
Just to clarify. You manually #### the rifle. You shoot, it fires and a new round goes into the camber fine. Then you pull the trigger for the second shot and nothing happens? After ~10secs it fires, bolt goes back, it ejects like normal and it's ready for the next shot.

So somewheres between the first tigger pull and where the next rounds goes into the camber, something didn't happen right.

I'm not a sure, but I think it sounds like something in the trigger guard area not acting like it should(possibly dirty?). Someone with a but more knowledge of that area maybe able to say for sure.

Also try a higher velocity round.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will give you some better answers :)
 
It actually sounds like the disconnector is dirty or jamming. Where are you situated? If you are in Kelowna or the Okanagan Valley I could give you a hand with it. If not maybe some other CGN'er could help
