10-22 Ejection problem

[ISP 5353]

I just put a new bull barrel on my 10-22. It shoots as well as I can in this cold weather, but I am having a few failure to extract issues. Not bad, only about 1 round out of every 2 or 3 mags. Any ideas? Thanks.

what ammo? i have been having failure to extracts in cold weather w/ any of the wax coated match ammo... uncoated ammo seems to work fine.

or it could be your new barrel has a tighter chamber and needs to be broken in a bit, or use hotter ammo... cci minimags come to mind.

had the same problems when shooting thunderbolts, switched to ccis and not a problem since, i also have a aftermarket chrome lined bull barrel with a match chamber and trigger job if that helps you any

Your rifle could be a candidate for one of the "sharp" extractor's that VQ makes. It isn't real expensive and is easy to install.

It cured the same problem in my match heavy barrel.

try some hotter ammo, that solved my the issue for me

It was cheap bulk Remington ammo. I will grab some CCI and try it again. Thanks!

Any bulk ammo or hollow points that I have used in a 10/22 never work that well.CCI mini mags fmj or the Federal red box works the best if you can find them.

+1 on the mini mags!!

Now the problem is finding some! What type of match .22 are you guys shooting?

I always shoot CCI Stingers and have never had a problem...I even went almost 5000 rds without cleaning the gun...but have never done that again. The 10/22 is one of the most reliable rifles out there.

check your barrel lineament.with the ejector...
