Was shooting my 10/22 Target last week and had the rim of a .22LR blow-off. It took out the magazine as well as blew-away the extractor and it's plunger (hard to believe but we actually found the tiny piece on the cement floor or our range about 15 feet away from me; and the plunger landed in my hand... it hurt a bit). I pushed what was left of the shell, from the chamber, reinstalled the extractor and plunger and went back to shooting. No problems after that. It's been said that "this is a known 'problem' with 10/22's i.e. sometimes they will hit the back of the rimfire cartridge before the bolt is totally closed. Has ANYONE heard of this phenomenon?
