Rant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought a 10/22 and frankly, wish I hadn't. So far I have about $130 into parts and I still get "fail to fires"
People say "Its the ammo" or "The gun needs about 500 to 700 or even a 1000 rnds through it to wear it in"
I think thats crap. Why would you need to "wear" in an action??? My other .22 semi (Cheapo made in the Phillipines) NEVER had "Fail to fires" in muti-thousands of rounds of various ammo in 21 years even right out of the box new. The only issue was feed jams with truncated bullets.
I took my 10/22 to the range again TWICE this weekend and it still doesn't ignite all the bullets.
I'm going to search the web and see if anyone offers an upgraded firing pin.
If that doesn`t work then I'll sell the gun and send a nasty letter to Ruger telling them what I think of their "popular" 10/22
I'm thinking that all these aftermarket companies selling 10/22 upgrade parts must be laughing all the way to the bank and saying prayers that Ruger never smartens up.
