Alright, here's my problem...
I bought a new 10/22 Takedown a few months back and haven't really shot it a whole bunch. First time I took it out, I had multiple stove pipes. Pretty much every shot, I'd have to pull the bolt back, drop the magazine, clear the round, and then start over.
I didn't tear it down at first like I normally do, but I figured it was something with the extractor. Sure enough, when I tore it down, the hook on the extractor was completely sheered off.
I went on to Amazon and bought a few new parts.
After replacing everything, including the extractor, I took it out for a little bit of plinking. It ran great, no stove pipes, shot wonderful.
Now yesterday, I decided to take some pop shots in my yard. I shot 4 rounds, and got a stove pipe. Cleared, racked, boom....another stove pipe. I looked and sure enough, the extractor claw is broken clean off again on the replacement.
Then I went to break it down, and I couldn't get the barrel off. When I would press on the takedown lever, it would turn maybe 1/8"-1/4" and stop. I tried pretty hard trying to untwist everything and couldn't get it. My brother stopped over, he held one end and spun while I did the same on the other. It came free, but damn it took a lot of effort. I know there is the adjustment for tightness, but I spun that to be as loose as it can get. It shouldn't be that difficult.
So...my question. Have any of you 10/22 owners had issues with broken extractors? Also, has anyone with the takedown model ever have any problems with the barrel and receiver not wanting to separate?
Should I give Ruger a call now, or throw another extractor on and see what happens first?
I'll post up pictures of the broken one once I get around to getting it apart in a little.
Thanks
