[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1609044, member: 9308"] This is 'so obvious' these days, which is why I share it because it happened 36 years ago (yes, before Al Gore invented internet ;) ) I had a Ruger 10/22 that would stove pipe jam on me far too often. I took it to a gunsmith in Olympia, WA, (don't think he really deserved that title in retrospect.) He couldn't find anything wrong, but felt there was a bit of 'proud wood' near the ejection port that MIGHT be the issue so he removed that and touched up the stock. It did LOOK better, but the problem remained. Fast forward eight years and the problem is still with me and I'm just 'done' with it. I took it to Charley Robertson at Score High Gunsmithing (Albuquerque, NM) and he figured it out in, oh, about half a second. Needed a new extractor. Nowadays you can buy all the 10-22 parts you want online, at midnight, in your underwear. You can google 'stovepipe jam' for 10/22 and get beaucoup hits from youtube videos to forum discussion and more. "Strangers" will help you figure out the problem AND fix the problem. It's so much easier. The good old days weren't ALL good. I'm going to send props to Charley Robertson (Score High Gunsmith) here. The man has done quite a bit of gunsmithing work for me over the years and he is the real deal. Meticulous. Detail oriented. Honest. High quality work EVERY TIME. I totally trust his judgement. It's like finding that great mechanic for your car! You finally know the job will get done right, at a fair price, and be on time and on budget. I have no idea how much longer he'll keep 'smithing, but if you are in the area, he's the man to see, especially for rifle work (which I think is all he wants to do these days, really.) [/QUOTE]
