So did your brother put his parts back in and continue shooting or is it still inoperable, if he hasn't fixed it i would return it to the dealer to deal with. For your issues i would try some different ammo if you still have extraction problems then look at the extractor. Does it have a burr or a poorly shaped hook, if so fix or replace. With a rimfire you should always try multiple brands of ammo to make a real opinion of a firearm.

Sell it to Deadmeat. I bought a brand new one and had piles of jamming issues. Sold it to Deadmeat and it works fine. 
Oh well...I like my 597 a lot better. And I do plan to have another 10-22 one day...with absolutely no Ruger parts.

You need to make sure that the extractor is installed properly.
The gun will still assemble/work properly even if the extractor isn't fully seated in the bolt but it'll eventually pop out.

bought new "NEW", but apparently when you shoot a gun it becomes used....
Hmmmm?? NEW and you got no warranty with them??
Really????
So..did you buy these rifles new "out of box" or "used"??

most rimfires shouldnt be dry fired at all or as litle as possible unleas u put dummies in them the pin will deform or wear and give u issues in the future

u could also try re-cutting the extractors if you are comfortable with that a jewelers rouge and file polish the parts off take very little off just make them super slick then use the file to cut the extractor more aggressively dont polish the contact faces of the extractors rough is good will snag bullets better i have a 10 22 and mine is relatively new only about 1000 rounds through it but no such problems and definitely new ammunition you dont have to go high end but anything heavier will shoot more accurately for shure and i havent had anny issues i shoot blazer in most of my 22s

Can dryfire a 10/22 all day long everyday nothing will happen. Says so right in the ruger manual you get with the gun. The firing pin doenst contact anything when dry fired.
