I have a ruger 10/22, it has recently started having issues ejecting a spent shell, as well as not always loading a new on from the mag. Some times won't even properly load the first round. I completly dissassemblied it and cleaned it. The problem is still there. Anyone have any thing they can think of that will cause that?

Forgot to mention this happens with all three mags.

Should be able to find your answer here:

As troublesome as 10/22 mags are, I don't understand why the rifles are so popular.

Pay special attention to the thread on disassembling, cleaning, and retentioning the mags, even if it does screw up with all three.

One of the mags that is doing it is not a rotary, but I will try cleaning the rotorys. The 30rd mag on has about 150 rds through it at max

I'd start looking at the bolt.

What do I look for? I don't have any experiance in this other then cleaning it

The links I provided earlier will help you figure out ANY problem with a 10/22.

It wasn't just about the magazines.

The mags are just the most common issue.

Stripted it all the way down this morning, found some more *gunk* using a flash light this time. Cleaned it all out, I will see what happens latter this morning

Type of ammo can be an issue as well. My 10/22 is not too picky but my son's that is 20 years newer is finicky.

Remington Sub Sonics feed the best and shoot the best out of both. Most CCI stuff feeds well but they are not near the tack driver loads.

Clean the bolt with some gun scrubber type action cleaner and then a light coat of CLP. Use FACTORY 10 round mags and see what happens.

All the aftermarket 25 banana mags are suspect to me.

Got back a little while ago from the range. Loaded all three mags for a total of 50rds. 2 factory mags shot perfect no problems. The 30rd mag had 1 load issue, but that was it. I guess it was just gunk in the areas I had a hard time seeing. guess I know how to fix this next time.
