Matt Gould Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hello, my grandad gave me his ruger 77/22 lr as hes getting to old to use it now, the gun had had a fair few rounds thought it, but the reason i have put this thread up is because i am having a problem cycling it i have striped the magazines i am using down and cleaned them ....... but the gun still is not cycling well. whats happening is as the bolt is going through the action and collecting a bullet from the mag the bullet is not going into the barrel cleanly, its kind of hitting the bottom of the camber but ejecting empty cases the gun works spot on. can anyone help me ?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
