Takedown 10/22 Giving Me Grief

[HeadDamage]

Of the few 10/22s that I've owned, including my current take down and SR22, they all shoot what ever I put in them with no problems.

I also have a takedown. Didnt bother to clean it from new, got its first cleaning after about 1k rounds. Other than a few FTE's, FTF, (which is pretty much common with all .22), the gun shot flawlessly. On a further note, I shot 7 different types of ammo (3 different remington, winchester bulk, federal bulk, winchester "black", and cci standard 40gr) and the gun ate up everything.

Yep, my Takedown eats everything, and while I have the odd FTE/FTF with the Promag 32 rounder, it has been flawless.

I recently picked up a Takedown. I had three brands of ammo I tried out. The American Eagle did not get along at all with the 10/22. Pretty much every other round was either double feeding or FTE. The Winchester was better but still poor. The Remington ammo worked great. The Remington 597 I used to use ate everything I fed it.

Did you follow the instructions on adjusting the barrel nut? ive heard a few cases of guys just tossing it together and getting the results you got, something to do with it not seating the barrel and receiver correctly. Mine right out of the box i put probably 500rnds through it, Crappy bulk green box remington tornado with a few other brands mixed in. Maybe a handful of jams, could hammer a 25rnd mag in no time flawlessly.

This guy wins the prize. Nope, didn't read the instructions toooo close, and just thought the barrel and receiver seemed plenty tight enough so I didn't touch the adjustment nut. Now it goes together and comes apart a hair easier, and it rattled through the 10 round mag no problem. The Butler Creek 25 round mag would FTL on the second shot each time though... But I guess that's another issue altogether. Thanks guys!

My 10/22 doesn't like federal ammo. Best I have ever done was 5 in a row without a stovepipe/ jam. No problem with any other ammo. I've never used the takedown model. Mine is the target model, all stock with the heavy barrel.
