A round file will get you an auto bolt release in 2 minutes flat. <a href="http://rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30867" rel="nofollow">Do it yourself bolt release</a>Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289639279717534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-34722930122157618442011-01-23T18:44:16.688-05:002011-01-23T18:44:16.688-05:00Fun tip: you can make your own quick bolt release ...Fun tip: you can make your own quick bolt release by filing out the little pointy part in the heart-shaped cutout in the stock bolt release. Use a rattail bastard (heh) to get a rounded, convex opening where the little pointy part was.<br />After reassembly, a short pull on the bolt will release it.<br />It's much faster when you need it, like at Appleseed, f'rinstance...doubletroublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378163493817522427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-26207747393571459622011-01-23T16:29:51.773-05:002011-01-23T16:29:51.773-05:00Now, can you do it faster?

Or two for that matter. <br /><br />The hardest part for me in reassembly is putting the bolt back in place with the bolt release being the real culprit. <br /><br />You can spend a fortune on aftermarket parts for the 10/22, but there are a coupe of things you should do. <br /><br />Get an aftermarket one hand bolt release and an extended magazine release. <br /><br />If you really want to, you can buy a trigger spring kit, and a trigger shim kit. Oh, and a replacement bolt buffer. <br /><br />That's about all you "need" to do, but there is no limit to what you "can" do. There is no part on the 10/22 for which there is not a replacement available. You can even buy a stripped aftermarket receiver and build your own rifle from scratch.TOTWTYTRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221321904364051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-55717607217520209902011-01-23T15:41:39.898-05:002011-01-23T15:41:39.898-05:00My 10/22 was a Walmart special with a painted rece...My 10/22 was a Walmart special with a painted receiver. If your sample has a painted receiver as well do yourself a favor and strip the paint off the inside.<br /><br />If you don't the paint will mix with whatever lube and solvents you use and make a real gooey mess.<br /><br />I stripped all the paint off the entire receiver - inside and out - and left it natural. Looks good with a stainless barrel.Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289639279717534292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-10296986652190250542011-01-23T12:31:32.479-05:002011-01-23T12:31:32.479-05:00When I first got my 10/22, my inner mechanical eng...When I first got my 10/22, my inner mechanical engineer made me take it apart and put it back together again on the kitchen table. It was touch and go for a while, but everything went back to where it came from. Maybe you inner engineer needs to take some remedial classes?bluesunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995973825892791271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-26859126309225950002011-01-23T12:15:45.172-05:002011-01-23T12:15:45.172-05:00http://trochronicles.blogspot.com/2009/04/assembli...http://trochronicles.blogspot.com/2009/04/assembling-ruger-1022.htmlZ@Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993343918438930816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-91767705187355458952011-01-23T12:05:44.062-05:002011-01-23T12:05:44.062-05:00Just out of curiosity, are you rocking it into pla...Just out of curiosity, are you rocking it into place?Robert McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849168773343652368noreply@blogger.com
