countrykingdad Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 My 10/22 has never jammed on the standard 10 shot mag. It will take all types of ammo. I have two 25 shot mags one which is all plastic and has struggled occasionally with winchester subs; the other is plastic and metal and has never failed.

thepasty Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm surprised to see such variation in cycling for the same gun, poor quality control at Ruger HQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'd say you're bang on with that statement. Cheap mass produced junk that's acceptable but no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrykingdad Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Given the fact that it has been around (instandard form) for nearly 50 years the track record of this little gun is very good. I wonder how old the guns that have loading issues are... Mine (which has never failed) was 2nd hand when I bought it 15 years ago - I no longer use any other .22LR because it has been so reliable in all rabbit control situations... But I guess that there are always good and bad the same as with mass produced cars. Edited January 14, 2013 by countrykingdad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I think it's got a lot to do with the bolt on custom bits available for it. Mines had a full going over by SYSS who know a lot about them. It's acceptable now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrykingdad Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 That could be the case, but mine is still in it's factory form with a moderator attached... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) but yours is one gun and as this thread has proven, they are not all equal. Maybe yours was made on midweek days rather than the dreaded monday or friday gun Edited January 14, 2013 by thepasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrykingdad Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 True, but as I said earlier, "Given the fact that it has been around (instandard form) for nearly 50 years the track record of this little gun is very good"... not many semis have been around that long.

thepasty Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) that may be a fact but its longevity is probably more to do with the fact that its a not aweful but not brilliant dirt cheap gun in the states, making it affordable to many and thus as said above a very large custom market has flurished off the back of it. The U.S guys love to customise and if you want to do that in .22lr you buy a 10/22... I conject that its probably the huge availablity of after market custom parts which now drive the 10/22 sales rather than the other way around.

Tis1979 Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Been speaking to loads of people about jamming issues with rimfires and had such a mixed reaction some love em some loath them, I'm sticking with bolt action for now as it does everything I need. Not like me to do some research I would usually bought one and just seen How its goes. Cheers for all the input in this post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuftikins Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have a Rimfire Magic 10/22,which is a bit more ammo fussy than a standard Ruger,best sub ammo I have found is Fiocchi 320 super match,though any HV ammo is fine,CCI mini mag works superbly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in9 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 If you're after a field semi rather than a practical 22 rifle you may want to concider the CZ511 Subsonic, they're more accurate than an unmodified 10/22 and will shoot whatever you put through it all day without jamming. But if you're into accessorising your gun or wont larger capacity mags theres nothing like that for the 511. When I was looking into a semi 22lr I was after a 10/22 also but when I had them side by side the 511 is built to last, higher quality and felt less toyish.... you wont find a single bit of plastic in a 511. just a thought Only downside with the 511 is out of production since 2010 so no spare mags or parts available. Nice guns though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1in9 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi all any owners of .22 LR rugers find they jam much, thinking of getting one? Cheers in advance They are just fine but they need regular cleaning to avoid feed problems. Easy enough to strip to remove the carbon and muck buildup. .22LR are filthy cartridges and the blow back action means muck gets belched out while there is still plenty of loose stuff flying about.

1in9 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 The 25 round 'banana' clips seem very hit and miss (if you'll excuse the pun). Stick with the 10 round mags and they won't miss a beat. Only the sealed Butler Creek magazines. Ruger now do their own BX-25 25 round magazines, which are as reliable as the 10 round magazines, strippable for cleaning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Only downside with the 511 is out of production since 2010 so no spare mags or parts available. Nice guns though. On the flip side they're so well made that needing spare parts is very unlikely, they'll last a life time... and if something does fail theres plenty of guns out there for breaking for parts if needs be. Both my RFD's regard them as the best semi auto out there today, built to last, accurate and reliable. I've got one... love it to bits.
