New Build, Having issues Need Advice Please

I built my 1st .22LR and I can get it to cycle sometimes but not super consistent.

I've tried a few types of ammo, it doesn't like Agula, it kinda likes CCI standard velocity, and I've found some Winchester white box hollow points and it seems to like that the best so far. I've heard Federal can also be good? But which Federal? Also the issue I keep having is the empty case will not be extracted. So it stays in the chamber. I was thinking maybe get an upgraded Kidd extractor? It has an oem Ruger receiver, & bolt, charging handle, & trigger assembly. I'm definitely getting an upgraded charging handle, I'm thinking about this one.

I'm hoping to find some help on the extraction issue, and what will be the fix, and if the extractor is then issue. I'm thinking about getting this one from Kidd. Please let me know if this will help?

I recently sold my stainless steel Backpacker with the fiber optic sights to a friend. I never really used them because I prefer optics. He would like help zeroing the sights today, so I was wondering if anyone has tips on this?

For elevation, I’m guessing you turn the screw that is right in front of the rear fiber optic, correct? I’m guessing clockwise to raise the point of impact? Does anyone know how far to turn per MOA, or how many MOA is one revolution?

For windage, it looks like you loosen the mounting screw and drift the whole sight in the dovetail? Any tips on the best way to do that or how far per MOA?

Thanks!

I see these and the Nomad model get a lot of hate BUT

I gotta say it feels and looks great quality. Polymer seems strong. Fitment is great. Has a good bit of heft, and the extended mag release lever makes it much easier to release the mag, they fall right out every time!!

Things missing:
- BX25 mags in the mail
- maybe a holo or red dot.

The one thing I will say feels cheap and likely will change is the butt Stock. Luckily it’s compatible with all AR-15 stocks from what I hear.

Finally finished the build on this 18.5 10/22. Anything else I should add or change?

Stock- Strike Industries Chassis- Strike Industries Optic- Sig Sauer Romeo-MSR Suppressor- Mask 22 Sling- Im a lefty so shhhh

I’m having back-to-back Appleseed events the next two weekends, and I’ve set up two rifles.

I put a new Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 5-25x50 scope on the 10/22. This is the rifle I got my Rifleman’s patch with in November, and I had borrowed the same model of scope for the second day of the clinic. Most people don’t need that much scope, but with my eyesight I do. It looks crazy huge, doesn’t it? Even with the Magpul high cheek riser kit, I had to build it up with some foam to get decent eye alignment. I’m looking forward to getting everything dialed in at the 25m clinic so I’ll be ready for the 200-yard Rimfire class the following weekend. I’m very excited for that RKD event!

The Fighlite SCR is a new rifle that I’ve only fired on one trip to the range so far to function test it, and now I’m setting it up. I put the old Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 scope that I took off the 10/22 on the SCR. I added a Mathew’s Fabrication cheek riser and Cole-Tac handguard wrap on it, along with a few upgraded parts. You don’t see many “ranch rifle” format center fire rifles at Appleseed, so it will be interesting to try it out. I’m going to take it to the second day of the 25m clinic and see how it does for Appleseed-style sling-assisted shooting. The manual of arms is new to me, so this should be interesting. If it works well, I hope to swap the big scope onto it and use the SCR at a 400-yard full KD next year.

I’m looking forward to these two weekends and trying the new rifle setups!

My first .22LR, and my first time rattle canning anything.

To me it turned out great, this thing is so fun to shoot.

Alright, you guys gave me the itch to build a new 10-22 recently and i finally completed and tested it out. Ive only had classic 10-22s so i wanted to get really crazy and make something unique, at least for me. Behold! My charger style 10-22. It was an extremely fun build and is insanely fun to shoot. Here are the parts i used:

Faxon FF22 receiver (+ vblock and bolt buffer)

Acculite 4.5" barrel

Dead Air Mask .22 suppressor

Midwest industries aluminum 8" chassis

Kidd bolt

Kidd charging handle

Kidd mag release

Tandemkross rotary safety

Tandemkross bolt keeper

Tandemkross cross pins and mag pins

A3 industries rear picatinny adapter

SB folding pistol brace

Milspec spare grip

Holosun 407a3x2 on a trijicon rmr mount

The trigger housing is an aluminum one from an old 10-22 we shot growing up with the trigger and all parts being swapped out for BX parts.

The Faxon receiver and MI chassis do not fit together due to the rail on the receiver interfering with the handguard. I milled out a relief section on the handguard (yes Midwest Industries, i know i voided the warranty but it was WORTH IT!) And filed off some material on both sides of the receiver so it would slide on very snugly.

The gun is light and a joy to shoot- i cannot believe how smooth the action is with the Kidd bolt and charging handle. The rotary safety is awesome and i love love love the bolt keeper system. The knob makes it easy to find and lock back and the slingshot movement to get into battery is such a massive upgrade compared to stock.

The only negative is the kidd extended mag release- with this chassis its very hard to work the extended lever. I will probably make an extension that sticks out on the sides of the lever a bit so i can flip it easily. This is not Kidd's fault, the lever is otherwise fantastic and i love it.

It is extremely accurate and did great with a bunch of ammo. The winchester ones (x?) with the squared noses did poorly, lot of misfeeds and nosedives into the magazines, but this happened in the stock ruger as well so i know it isnt the bolt. It was trash ammo thats gotten wet and been sitting for years so im glad with the performance. Shooting suppressed is awesome with this gun- its so quiet with the dead air mask you can even shoot it indoors with no muffs. All in all im super thrilled with this and i think its my new favorite gun to shoot!

10/22 with a romeo5 red dot since it didn’t have sights. 25mag. Don’t know what I’m doing. Any advice is appreciated.

Sighted in with Winchester white box so I’m unsure of the absolute accuracy. But guessing 2” at 50 yards with that ammo, which sounds terrible.

I received my 10/22 td with magpul backpacker stock like a week before they released this and I mean my heart literally sunk. I loved the paint splatter and forged carbon barrel so much.

I guess I could have sold mine at a loss and pay a lot more than what I paid for mine for the new hotness. Instead I just got another x22 and some rattle cans and did my own thing.

I was considering switching it up a little with the splatter color; black on black like my Rossi triple black, a seafoam green maybe. In the end I went with the white because it pops. Now I’m afraid I went a little overboard. Considering doing some black splatter (a different texture of black paint than the base coat so it still stands out against the background) on top of the white.

My splatter pattern is way different than the ruger factory carbon splatter. Theirs is more stringy. Like a thin drizzle. Mines more typical splatter.

Any thoughts? Love it or hate it? Too much white? Not enough? 86 the black splatter before I ruin it?

Edit: appreciate the love, peeps! I’ll post assembled pics when complete. Just gotta figure out where to go from here and then I want a flat or matte clear coat but don’t want to ruin the look
