ruger 10/22 jamming

[Saiga223]

One of mine had the same issue with extracting the empty casings, for $10 I would change out the extractor and try a new/different mag first. After 13 years you could have a bad magazine.

The mag is only 3 years old.

The cheapest thing to try is remove the bolt take a good look around the extractor and see if there is "gunk" (technical term) around it. If so soak it for a few minutes in the cleanser of your choice and scrub it with a toothbrush. Re-assemble and see if that fixes the problem.

If not, replace the extractor with the Volquartsen Edge Extractor mentioned above it takes all of 5 minutes and is really easy to do.

Here is the link: Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor Ruger 10/22, 10/22 Magnum, Mark II, Mark III, 22/45 - MidwayUSA

I would bet that this will solve the problem for you, it fixed my issues immediately.

Hope it helps,

I would go with the extractor as well, though I've not had a problem with mine (yet). I use 25 rd mags for target shooting and the Ruger 10 rd mags when squirrel/rabbit hunting.

my 10/22 never jams. I did buy some new mags for it but they came with adjustment screws and it never jammed after that...

it'll eat any ammo all day.

I agree with the worn out extractor though.

Sounds like there is some dirt or unburnt powder stuck under the exfractor.

Beat me to it. Should be easy to diagnose and fix.
