too much spring in a ruger ?

[boatmonkey82]

ok i have a 10-22 ruger with lots of new goodies some aftermarket and others are stock. problem lies with bolt not going back enough to recock it some times . cheap ammo ? just replaced all of the springs , ect . no binding , no scope screws , clean as a whistle . bolt issue ? maybe some polishing inside would help ?

Was this happening before you replaced the springs?

 

[boatmonkey82]

yes

I would try a few different ammo brands before making any decision.

10-22

Sir;
Best thing to do with a 10-22 is just accept it, shoot it and other than tightening the barrel block allen screws after a brick of shells - leave it be!

Has the factory bolt handle been replaced with an oversized after market handle? The extra weight will slow the bolt.

no the only aftermarket parts are the ejector , mag holder , trigger . rest is stock. and what sucks is that somtimes when it mis feeds , the bullet will get jammed at about a 45 angle and when the bolt comes foward it just does hit the rim , and you guys know the rest . i will take some pics of the acutual problem

This would be a logical first step on a fix. The last time I encountered this problem, it was due to Federal bulk ammo and yet, this same amo shoots fine in my other 10/22's. I had some older Remington bulk ammo, not thunderbolts and that corrected the problem. I find some bulk ammo to be underloaded. I have never had any kind of a problems with Winchester Wildcats or better grades of ammo.
