Ruger 10/22
Recently sold a new 10/22 wood stock for over 900.00. It did have a box that had 50th anniversary emblem on it. Why was this gun so hot? Was it the box or what. It looked like every other 10 22 I see.

I've never been a real fan of the 10/22, but when I'm at the range with friends & they have their semi autos with 20 & 30 rd mags, nice scope and I'm plinking away with a Win 52, peep sights and 5 rd mags, well, the 52's more accurate but maybe not as much fun.
Saw & bought a Ruger 10/22 Target today for good price (heavy bbl & laminated stock) and am looking for some help on those little accessories Ruger fans seem to load up on. I don't want to go wild, just make the thing a little more convenient to shoot & accurate. Specifically:
1) I want to replace the trigger - any suggestions?
2) Is there a device that will hold open the bolt after the last
round?
3) Auto bolt release - is there a bolt release that allows the bolt
to go forward by pulling the bolt to the rear instead of having to
play with the release on the underside of the rifle?
4) Mag release - is there one that protrudes out so I don't have to
press the stock one in?
Finally,any feelings on whether the Ruger benefits from glass bedding either the action or barrel or both? How about free floating the barrel?
I don't want to go wild on this project - just put together a nice shooter.

pull the charging handle all the way back, lift up on front of bolt to dis engage it from the charging handle. Reverse to reinstall. 0 -
If you've removed the bolt stop pin and the bolt won't move, there might be a stuck case in the chamber.. The extractor could be holding the case, causing the bind.. The operating rod/recoil spring could also be gummed up and stuck to the bolt, preventing its release..
You could try tapping the operating rod handle VERY GENTLY after soaking with solvent/oil..If you think it needs more force, try a rod down the barrel and make sure there's not a loaded round in the chamber, and try tapping it gently..
If you're having trouble lifting the bolt free from the op rod/recoil spring, it might be a broken firing pin.. Not sure where it could wedge in, but careful levering/lifting up of the bolt should free it..
Here's a refresher video for ya..

Edit to add..
Also, make sure there's not a scope base screw that's too long, and contacting the bolt.. I'd check this first..0 -
The bolt moves freely, but will not move far enough to lift it out of the receiver. I cannot see anything holding it from going far enough back. Comparing it with two other 10/22s I cannot see the problem. 0 -
Soak it with Kroil for 24 hours, and try again. There has to be some kind of fouling holding it in there. 0 -
Try turning the action over and rapidly moving the op-rod.. See if gravity will shake something loose, and get the bolt to drop out through the bottom.. 0 -
Are you sure you have removed the third pin in the rear of the receiver? If you have then the bolt should come right out if you move it fully to the rear and lift the front. Good luck. 0 -
Is the spring on the op rod binding up and catching it? 0 -
no change since 1964 0 -
If you have a nylon bolt buffer, they sometimes dont just fall out like the steel pins do. Is it still maybe in the receiver ? 0 -
All pins out. No scope base screws. Cleaned receiver etc.
Bolt will still not retract far enough to remove from receiver.
Thanks for all the input.0
