I recently got a new 10-22 takedown rifle, I put a Hogue stock on it before I took it out to shoot it. (Flat Dark Earth to match my Ruger American in .223)
I have had a 10-22 rifle for years, and use both the 10 round and BX25 mags for it, and have never had a feed issue with it... Gobbles up and feeds everything.
The new Takedown, I had problems with the 10 round box mag right off the bat, with rounds sort of stovepiping, or jamming, missing feeding into the chamber and hanging up in the receiver.
I tried the BX 25, and out of the 4 bx's I have for it, the gun will run on 3 of them, but the last BX has the same feed issues as the little 10 round box mag. It won't go past two rounds before rounds missing the chamber and jamming.
The 3 that seem to work do have an occasional feed hang up, having to eject that round, or knock it out of the receiver and rack the bolt to feed the next round.
I am using all different brands of .22's, so not an ammo problem... all that ammo works in my 10-22 rifle with those same mags. Except the 10 rd box mag that came with the Takedown... that did not feed in the 10-22 either.
I did adjust the ring that tightens up the fit of the Takedown, to make it a little tighter when I first got it, it seemed to be pretty loose out of the box.
Any ideas on what would be causing the feed issue? I was hoping it would be as reliable as the 10-22 rifle I have had. I am surprised it is giving me fits every time we take it to the range.
Thanks for any input!
