Jamming/stove piping modded 10/22

[PowerStroke]

Adjustable Iron sights (weaver mount)

im looking for a pair of front and rear adjustable sights for my ruger 10/22.... im running the evo stock with the weaver rail that runs across the entire top....

i have considered the troy buis pair, but at 250+ dollars is a little pricey.


any other suggestions?

Is there a front sight on the barrel?

negative, its just a heavy barrel with a YHM meat grinder

Is that with all ammo? Have you tried other ammo? How many rounds since last cleaning?

I had the same issue with my 10/22...when it started to get dirty all the weaker ammo would stovepipe...

pretty much all ammo, totaly random... another thing is i cannot for the life of me get my aluminum tac inc 25 round mags to work ever since i changed to aftermarket barrels

Did you replace the extractor spring when you put in the VQ extractor?

If so, try putting the factory extractor spring back in, it helped in my case.

Also, did the FTEs happen when using a high cap magazine? I have heard that these mags need to be broken in first before they feed reliably.

if i leave the 25 round mags loaded for a bit, should this help in the break in period? lol

Of course

Its the same as how keeping loaded mags causes excessive wear and tear and shortens the life.

One thing that can cause stovepipes is the hammer spring assembly. When you disassemble the rifle make sure to note the slot on the retaining washer. This slot mustpoint upwards.

Found that in a search. That's all I can help with.

for the stock springs, which was the longer and which was shorter, i cant remember which was which?

The factory spring is the longer of the two. The VQ kit comes with the shorter one. I also used the original factory spring when I installed my extractor, and it works flawlessly.
