Thanks for that,cheers.

Yessir. No point in leaving the tension up to chance

Thanks for the kind comments, its appreciated, cheers.

Same here. My Ruger 10/22 is 40 years old. This video showed how to finally clean it. It did need cleaning. Thanks

@@kindheart6411 Lord willing the USA will once again build high quality products unlike the cheap disposable garbage that "other countries build now a days. As late as the 80s people from all over the world sought out products labeled "Made in USA"

Well thought out video. It might help to know that once the nut is started it should be rotated from the 12 o'clock position one full revolution and then stop at 4 o'clock. A total of 8 sides of the nut past the 12 o'clock position. I'm not trying to out do anyone, but my first 10/22 was a 1969 Sporter, that's 51 years old, then a 1977 Carbine, then a 1987 Sporter for a project, and finally a 2014 Take - Down. And in all that time I have had probably 20 plus 10 round mags. With only one unfixable failure, a broken spring. But the original mag from the first 1969 Sporter is still going strong. With a combined total of well over 250,000 rounds of ammo put thru them that is impressive. Ruger got it right with this gun/mag combination. For what it's worth, stick with Ruger mags, the after market ones regardless of capacity are not very reliable, with the exception of Butler Creek ones. If you do your part these things will outlast you. As an aside, the steel buffer pin at the rear of the receiver should be an immediate discard and be replaced with an after market silicone rubber one. They might eventually wear down, but it's better than a cracked receiver. So just replace them as or if you see any wear. That's all I've got, thanks for the video.

@@bobgarr6246 You're actually starting at 11 when tension starts so it would be 3 or 1 1/3 turns.

@@oldschooldude8370 He was right, 8 turns (notches).

Thanks for that Tom,cheers.

Thats great, thanks.

Cheers.

Thanks for that info!

Interesting. Mine is a flat head.

Your welcome, its not perfect but does the job :}

Your welcome, cheers.

Wow thats great,cheers Tom.

welcome.

Merry Xmas.

8 flats. 1 1/3 turns. Puts you at 3 o'clock.

@@oldschooldude8370 isn't that 4 o'clock? EDIT: OK, I read another comment from you in a different video, you mean starting at 11 o'clock 😀

Lube not required, very minimal moving parts touching.

probably cause it needs a weird 4.5mm allen-key/ hex head driver which alot of people dont have cause its a weird size, hell im an engineer and i dont even have a 4.5mm hex head, hell i used a flat head screw driver to take that bolt out about 4 hours ago haha, i have one that fits between 2 points of the hex nut and just be really careful

It’s only dumb if it doesn’t work!

@@fuzzyfeetoffury A 4.5mm is to big for my magazine which was bought new in 1985. Mine takes a 9/64 Allen wrench ( actually called a socket head). Apparently over the years Ruger has changed it.

Thanks for that, cheers.

+lee sherman Thanks for that,yep i just push on the rotor with a screwdriver to see how much tension is on,i think i put a bit more than 360,cheers.

Hi, if you have not already done this ,try taking your rifle and mag apart and give it a good clean, sometimes it is this simple to stop jamming etc, cheers.

My Rossi Rifle I’m actually doing it right now lol. I loss this video and thank god you commented back! ☺️

My Rossi Rifle Alright I actually twist it to the point I couldn’t anymore and screwed it tight and I check if it did anything. It seems to be fine on the consistency part as the rounds would fall id say 5-8 inches away. I have a rd or so that’ll go 10-13 inches away. So I’m not sure if it help or not. Guess I’ll just need to hit the range to test it out.

@@l.o.r410 That is your ejector not the mag, take your bolt out and clean the face and also inside receiver.

My Rossi Rifle I think I definitely need to do that. My dumbass seriously spray painted my bolt and I had to put alcohol on it to rub it all off again and I might’ve still got some paint in the bolt itself etc. I’ll learn how to disassemble it and assemble it back. Thank you though for your time.

Hi, I never leave a magazine loaded , the only issue I can see would be one of safety, cheers.

Either leave them loaded or unloaded. The springs life is only effected by how many times it is compressed not how long it is compressed.

Thanks for that, glad it helped, cheers.

I have original magazines for my 66 10/22 and they became quite loose. I had to tighten them to restore proper feeding.
