10/22 receiver crack *Update 3/3*

[Zamble]

Has anyone had the same problem and tried to use Ruger to fix it? The crack in mine is on the left rear pin hole to the base of the buffer hole.

What was your solution?

My buddy has one that had the crack start at the bolt stop pin, he drilled it out and installed a bushing.

If you have the rest of the rifle, and re-assemble it, Ruger will probably give you the choice of any and I mean ANY 10-22 they have in stock. A few members over at RFC had problems, and sent theirs in, and Ruger made that offer. Some made out like bandits. They all said Ruger would only deal with a complete rifle.

[Zamble]

Yes it is complete. I refinished the stock, though.

a 22 rifle receiver cracking, that is not good. I have a buffer bolt stop pin so hopefully that helps

[Stewdabaker23]

Contact Ruger they should help you out, how long have you had the rifle???

Had the rifle since 1992.

That will teach you to install a plastic recoil buffer which is one of the first modifications a lot of us 10/22 users do upon purchasing another. Send it back to Ruger. I love the 10/22 but there is like three must do modifications after you get it that improves the gun right from the start. Not costly, but those are details Ruger doesn't do in order to curtail costs.

RFC is the best place to learn all about your 10-22, simply the most info there is on them.

I bought a piece of Delrin rod at Ridout Plastic right across the street from American Shooting Center. Couple of bucks and I had enough to make 5 or 6 bolt stops.

Wow, let's all save a dime, and beat the crap out of our rifles and scopes, with a piece of plastic with the same tensile strength as steel. I like soft poly, that cushions the blow, like Tuffer Buffers, but at $12 for three shipped, I guess that's too rich for some.

I *****ed my mine up shooting a bunch of CCI stingers, but didn't crack it. By the way, does it still run ok with the crack?

You talkin' about Delrin?

[Yoteman]

The appropriate dura hardness poly in 1/4" is dirt cheap by the foot. You simply buy it from the same folks that offer "bolt buffers"!!! 5ft costs next to nothing and is enough to make "bolt buffers" for the whole shooting club.
Same color cuz it's the same stuff!

I haven't shot it recently. I noticed the crack on Friday.
