I once saw a guy at the range fiddling for the longest time with his 10/22 trying to get his bolt to release. Still have no idea why they’d put a mirror at the range. 😳

I watched this video because I couldn't figure out how to release the bolt lock. This was a perfect explanation - quick and easy with not too much detail.

That's why I like the Marlin Model 60.

It’s good to see you back on KZfaq!

That’s actually a great idea. I had an AUTOMAG with similar hammer spring. It would occasionally “snag” never dig figure it out, and got rid of it. Now that I have seen this vid, I believe I know what was wrong with it.

Very happy you're back on KZfaq love the information that you all explain about all the firearms.

So Glad to see @Brownells back on youtube. #Brownells has help set the standard on firearm safety and educational videos. Whether explaining an old part like this, or the latest newest part in details, hands down you guys are the best. Thank you for uploading this videos and making them free to watch instead of selling them on DVDs or VHS/betamax/laserdisk/Capacitance Electronic Disc......

Most people hold on to that button, while they try to release the bolt. You have to release the button first, then release the bolt. Or just do like me, and make it auto release.

Thanks for the great info, I'm always surprised at what guys dont know about there own sidearm at tge range etc... I love seeing your page back up, It's the perfect channel to bing watch, thanks so much.

You just saved me a day of disassembling the damn thing.

You kiddin me ? Guilty... Not reading the owners manual. Thanks for the knowledge. It works.

EXCELLENT explanation show 'n' tell!!!!!! Thank you!

I needed this lol

I swapped mine out so i can release the bolt by just pulling back on the charging handle.

you can modify that piece and it will release without pushing up on that button

Just fought with this at the range today for about 5 minutes 😂

I hate the bolt catch on the Ruger I wish someone would come up with a better upgrade for this

Learn something new everyday!

THANK YOU 😂 I was atarting to feel like I'd never figure this out.. I suppose I could have just called Ruger 😂

Glad you point out, make life easier. ^_^

That bolt lock release stupidity is fortunately very easy to fix so it releases like pretty much any other firearm - when you pull the bolt back. Just a little filing is all it takes. Now why they didn't implement the last round hold open is a whole other gripe.

It seems almost spooky that whatever gun question I may have...Steve already has a video about 🤔

Excellent!

This video would have been nice before I replaced nearly every dang part on my gun. Still glad I did though.

Omg 😮 thank you! 😎👍

Thank you

That's cool but my Remington 597 I just received in the mag well push up on bolt catch and then just have to rack it like normal to chamber a round or just drop the bolt..... 10/22 is still better but love my 597 and works everytime.... just need help squaring up the end of the barrel to 90° and then cutting it exactly to 1/2 inch to thread it... need a 1/2 inch anular cutter badly!!!

great video! right to the point!

Good day sir...once the bolt is locked open, is it possible to release it into battery by inserting a loaded mag and just pulling back on the charging handle?

I love you for this!

Yup. Not intuitive at all. I'm used to marlins. Just push the charging handle in.

I've known about this since I first got my 10/22 over 13 years ago when I was a young teen. Any responsible gun owner reads the manual twice before operation.

thank you!!!

Complete rock-headed design. Must have been designed by a Lib.

I was today years old when I learned this

Will this work on the Ruger pc9?

Great Video learn something new

👍

About a month ago I bought the 22 Charger. It is without a doubt the kinkiest design of any gun I own. To clean it you have to pull it out of the chassis which is no big deal. Putting it back in is a nitemare. When you center the safety you can’t bump the gun in any way. If you do the safety moves to one side and then you can’t put it back in the chassis. I’ve changed out almost the entire lower to make the gun descent. Had I known it was going to need all this I never would have bought it. The BX-25 Mags are manufactured short so they wobble around. If you doubt this do search on KZfaq for a fix. I’ve seen at least 5 different ideas. Shame on Ruger for selling a product of such poor quality! I won’t buy another Ruger! There are so many good quality manufacturers I don’t need to buy from low end companies.

I hate how the gun doesn't stay open on last round I may trade it in just cause of that I want ease of use not to be fumbling around with that gun trying to get it to work. Only shot ten rounds through it a year ago haven't shot it since my marlin 22 starts open on last round and is way easier to operate

just get the auto bolt releace. Its not hard to install.

That feature sucks. Should have done a video on auto bolt release.

Anything ruger is horribly designed
