Ruger american rimfire problem

[skyline]

Hello everyone i have a ruger american rimfire in 22lr
I loved the rifile accurate great over all little rifile but the other day i went to go shoot it and all i heard was click and nothing else i check the bullet and no firing pin strike on it tried a couple of more round and
Nothing all i hear is click but no strike on the back of the bullet
Has any oneelse had this problem

is there something hanging up the firing pin? Cleaning cotton, powder residue, etc?

Tried taking a part the bolt?

I love the easy way the bolt dis-assembles for cleaning. By comparison, other bolts are a complete PITA. Let us know what the issue was after you fix it.

Glad to hear cleaning the bolt worked for you. I have a RAR myself and followed this thread with interest just un case I ever run into the same problem. Did you happen to see what it was that caused the jam?

I believe the gun oil i used gunket up with the powder from shooting and made the bolt not cycle thats what i think i cant remember when was the last time i cleaned that rifile it had to be at least 1000+ rounds
