Ruger 10/22 Situation

Well the mallet was based on what others had stated online. Most striking tools are not my tool of choice. I do have hobbies that require a siginificantly more delicate approach with tools. Keep in mind that this was my first venture with taking apart and reassembling a firearm. I'm sure we've all made mistakes in the past which is why we can say the things we do with any degree of confidence.

Again, great responses everyone. I appreciate all the help.
 
just because my OCD is kicking in today....

your gun was made in later part of 1984 early part of 1985.

and let me know if your wanting to sell the trigger group.
i prefer the old ones to the new ones, haha!

Heh, I was going to tell him to save the trigger pack, because the old (when they were still made from metal) trigger packs are miles better than the new polymer cased ones.

Wow,

Thanks for all the quick responses!

I'm thinking I'll probably get another 10/22 and hold onto this one in case I mess something up again.

Barring the cost, has anyone ever tried the following?

1) have the receiver welded back together

2) had a new receiver machined? I've noticed quite a few CAD dwgs and CNC files online

3) had a receiver 3d printed (again see the dwgs and files but not too sure about material strength)

Thanks

The reason a 10-22 is as inexpensive as it is, is that the parts are mass produced. As one of the other replies says, if you own the CNC mill you can probably carve a 10-22 receiver out of whatever material (within reason) you want. If you were to pay commercial rates for someone's mill and operator, deeper pockets than mine are necessary...
 
This was not a case of a cheap part, this was a case of applying to much force to part in a way it was never intended to receive stress. OP you are correct in saying we have all made mistakes... I have stripped and snapped and/or otherwise broken more parts than I care to remember... comes from not being terribly patient and rushing everything. Another 10/22 will suffice, but a Dlask receiver and/or barrel is a great way to go right now for you... as you already have the other required parts. If you purchase barrel and receiver, and ship the other parts, Josef will assemble the gun for you and check function. If I was in your shoes, that is the route I would take.

speaking as a guy that wrecked a brand new Tac Sol barrel trying to hammer it in (and out)
i ended up buying a Dlask receiver and barrel and having Joe put them together for me.
bust investment in a gun ive ever done!

i even put that $250 Tac Sol barrel in my shop right over my desk so i can remind myself to not use hammers so much.
what is that saying?

its only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you will learn that force isnt the answer for everything!
