10-22 help!

Please share an image of a closeup of your trigger group. I think your ejector is in backwards (or the trigger group wasn't properly re-assembled) and on the wrong side of the hammer. It's supposed to face forward and go into the slot that is in the front of the trigger assembly.
 
Jack,

What are you using to take the photos? Do you have a macro setting? Sweets should work fine, any cleaner is good. Going off the photos (which I recommend trying a macro setting for better pictures) the barrel does look very fouled. This can be fixed though.
How does the Mag look? On the ramp of the mag (assuming you're using OEM) can you see black or silver? You want this devoid of carbon. Do you have any local friends who you could borrow another mag from?
What type of .22 LR ammo are you trying to load?

If you don't mind, can you walk me through the process of what happened again? I know this seems repetitive, but we really need to narrow down the issue.

So you load your 10/22 OEM rotary mag with (insert the type of ammo). You make sure the mag is flush with the rifle and is fully inserted. You pull the slide all the way to the rear and let go (making sure to not ride the bolt home). This is where you're running into your issue correct? The Round will not fully leave the Mag and Chamber? Were you able to get any photos of this?

I wish I lived near you so I could help you out man. I've got tons of mags and different ammo. If you can, give us some more pics with the macro setting, show us where it's getting hung up, and tell us what ammo you're using. If you can walk us thorough my last paragraph, I think we can accurately diagnose your issue.

Best of luck until then!
 
I watched the u tube video 2 times today took apart to make sure the barrel lines up with the small hook and now when I pull the slide back all the way it now locks it never did that before!.In pic 434 blurry that's where my problem starts! the slide stops and the round dosent go all the way in to the throat.

Top view of trigger assembly please. If that ejector is in backwards, it could be the problem.
 
Thanks Jack. The ejector is in the right place. How about a side view of the assembled trigger assembly? I want to see if there's anything sticking up that would obstruct the forward movement of the bolt.

Can you also confirm that the screws for the scope base are flush with the inside of the receiver?
 
Jack44 - OK, ejector is fine. I went back to the first image of the trigger group and am wondering if the bolt stop spring is upside down. Can you confirm that the shorter dog leg is down and the longer straight leg is on top (and bearing against the ejector pin? If that spring is in upside down, it will cause the bolt stop to engage, stopping the bolt from moving forward.
 
No, not the hammer spring and its strut. It's the wire bolt lock spring on the other side of the hammer. The shorter dog leg should be down and resting on the bolt stop. The longer leg of that same spring should be bearing against the ejector pin.
 
The bolt lock spring is OK. I'm looking at the top view (post #57) of the trigger group again and am wondering where's the mag catch spring?

If there's no mag catch spring, the mag catch pushes the mag release back excessively, which in turn puts pressure on the bolt release to engage, thereby preventing the bolt's forward movement.
 
Their are just two springs! one in back of the hammer and one that wraps around a pin with the straight leg under a pin and the 2nd one is ontop of what look like a bracket.

You're missing the mag catch spring, Part # B-37.

Without a magazine in the gun, does the bolt go all the way forward? I see it in the image #3, post 34.
If the bolt won't go forward with a magazine in the gun, then the missing spring is probably the source of the problem.


Also, what type of bolt release do you have? Is it the older one that requires you to manually release the bolt by pressing on it or the newer style that releases when you pull back the bolt?
 
Jack, does the bolt stay open when the bolt release has been depressed and there is no magazine in the gun?

BTW, you are missing B-37 mag catch spring.
 
Good, it closes as it should.

Now, when the gun is assembled, does the bolt close when there's a magazine in and the bolt release is depressed?
 
When there a mag. in the rifle and loaded I slide the action back to chamber a round and yes it shuts but it get stuck about 3/8 from closing all the way -

From this post it appears as though you are testing with live ammo. Please don't do that unless you are at a range and pointed in a safe direction.

Anyway, with the mag empty and inserted, can you cycle the bolt?
