10/22 TD Problem

[coolname74]

I looked at those allen bolts, I didnt want to mess with them.

[kgcabs]

Does it still need to be punched down or should I just leave it loose that way? Thanks.

Leave it. The detents hold it in place.

I think kgcabs has it right. My pin (#8) is recessed into the spacer (#7) and the spacer does have some play without the barrel attached. As long as the pin is not sticking up you should be fine.

20rds of CCI mini mags & 80rds of Federal value packs went through the barrel without a hiccup, then I cleaned the barrel and tried out 100rds of Winchester 555 value packs and had 8 failures to extract

Got home & disassembled the extractor, pin & spring. There was too much oil & roughness on both sides of the extractor and extractor slot. I had to give those some stoning & polishing then re-oiled & re-assembled. It took more than 30' for the whole process.

Tried out 100rds of Winchester 555 value packs today without any failure to extract. Problem fixed! No need for VQ extractor, well...at least for now

Love the TD

glad to hear CZ lover. I am a new 10/22 owner and I love my TD but I also got a wood 10/22 at the same time and man I am LOVING the wood 1022 rifle. I am shooting squirrels left and right with this thing. Real fun guns.

Hmm, I have these exact two problems (misalignment and that chip in the magwell). It's time to call Ruger.

Just got mine today, and same two problems as well... BUMMER!!!!

[Sackman1886]

Was able to re-align my TD, thanks to you
Btw, do I need to tighten up that spacer screw(#7 & #8) as well? Since I can't find a hex wrench that small

Yup! This did the trick! good work...

I picked mine up today. I have the two chips in the magwell too, although they dont' look like chips on mine. It looks like there were plastic tabs there that got broken off.

i am not a brand person. what is the love affair with 10-22s. all i here about is replacement barrels and triggers to fix them. i just bought 2 22s a simi auto and bolt action. in another brand and they shoot fantastic out of the box. one only cost 159 bucks.

The 10/22 platform is beyond the Ruger brand. Similar to the AR platform, now there are companies that make parts that can improve the basic design. Arguably it is still the state-of-the-art design in a .22 semi auto rifle. The basic Ruger is a good rifle out of the box, but when modified with excellent specialty parts, it can get close to your Anschutz type of target rifle accuracy, but semi auto instead of bolt action. Plus the recent release of a reliable proprietary 25 rd magazine makes the platform even more fun.

right now i have a mossberg and 2 savages, i see a ruger in my future also. my first gun was in the late 50s, it was a simi auto remington 22 with a scope. it was kind of heavy for a kid. im guessing it was made around 1950 or later. wish i could see a pic of one. it was a tube feed.

Maybe this will help NOTABIKER

DOS man thanks for the help. i think i figured out it was a 550 wood stock simi auto.

[DinoPJR]

Simi auto? You spell it SEMI AUTO

Picked mine up today and alignment was perfect with a decent trigger as well:-)
Now I have 4 but one receiver is back at Ruger with a vertical crack at the rear of the ejection port all the way through the metal. They have it but am waiting for their response.
