I need so more advice here. I have posted messages some time ago regarding a continuing problem with my 10-22 bolt release. I have opened the factory hole with a dremel as was suggested by many to no avail, then I replaced the factory release with an after market release, again to no avail. For whatever reason the release seems to "bind" in position and only works when the pins are removed in the trigger housing. My last time at the range I accidentally hit the release and the bolt locked open so I had to put the 10-22 away until I got home and was able to take it apart and release the bolt.
I DO NOT want to return it to the factory as I have it somewhat customized, and it is my understanding they will not deal with any customized weapons.
I am now considering removing the release altogether. The drawback being I could not lock the bolt open. The only time this would be a problem would be when I return from the range and need to clean the weapon, at which time I usually take the entire weapon apart to clean anyway. At the range, if necessary when the range is "safe" I can insert a plastic tab or something to indicate the weapon will not fire.
Any thoughts or ideas?
