If I remove and replace the barrel, will my scope no longer be zeroed? Since the scope is actually mounted over the action, there is a chance that you might not mess up your zero. However, you may have a minor misalignment with the reattachment of the barrel. If it were me, I would plan on re-zeroing. If you have a laser boresight, you could get an idea of the alignment before removing the barrel. And then check it once reattached just to get a reference. |

Well the barrel has been removed. Hardware seemed nice and tight but once loosened, the barrel pulled right out. I mentioned earlier that the notch for the extractor did not seem to be aligned correctly with the extractor. When holding the barrel, looking at the chamber, with the sights at 12 o'clock, and the notch for the barrel lug at 6 o'clock, the extractor notch is cut at about 3:30 or so. I can't imagine this to be correct but I'm no gunsmith. Despite this, the extractor does seem to be going into the notch without issue. Thoughts? Here's a pic. I hope it is clear   |

Well maybe I'm ok after all. I thought the extractor was perfectly perpendicular to the bolt at three o clock but when viewed through the barrel opening it appears the extractor does angle downward from the center of the bolt.  |

When removing the barrel I found that the v block wasn't evenly tightened to the notch in the barrel. I think this must've caused the barrel to be clocked slightly in the receiver. All back together now with the gap between the v block and the notch in the barrel even on both sides.
Will function test and check scope zero Thursday morning.

Well I reassembled the gun, taking care to evenly align and tighten the V block. Went to the woods this morning and found a squirrel up in a hickory. Put the cross hairs on him, pulled the trigger, and "click". Figured I was in for another frustrating morning. Cycled another round in and it fired. As did the rest of the magazine as I killed a few squirrels with no more malfunctions.
After hunting I wanted to shoot a couple of groups at a target to see if removing the barrel had affected scope zero. First, I shot ten mini mags. All fired.
Then, I shot ten CCI standard velocity. All fired.
So I had one failure to fire out of thirty rounds total today which is a huge improvement. Typically, I would expect several misfires in a magazine. I haven't changed any parts as my order from Ruger hasn't yet shipped.
I collected about a dozen spent casings and the firing pin impression looked very good on all of them. Scope zero was within two clicks of being perfect at 20 yards.

My Hi-Standard gives about 1-2 in a 100 FTF with CCI Std V. They have a good dent on the case head too.
I have never looked at a 10-22 until I pulled up the schematic the other day. Pretty simple action. What do the fireing pin strikes look like on the clickers?

I didn't think to find it as I was still trying to get a bead on a squirrel at the time. But I have successfully fired several rounds on the second attempt that didn't fire the first time here lately. Just to rule out the ammo. In fact, I don't recall a single one that failed to fire on the second attempt. |

I can't comment on what parts are good, as I have all Volquartsen parts in my 10/22, even the carbon fiber tensioned barrel.

Update:
The 10/22 is working great.
New firing pin, firing pin return spring, and hammer spring/strut arrived from Ruger yesterday and have been installed. Many thanks to Saltydog for sending me an upgraded buffer which is also installed.
But even before the new parts had arrived the failure to fire problem had pretty much ceased ever since I removed and reinstalled the barrel taking care to properly align the barrel and V block. I had never had the barrel off of this gun in the decade I've owned it. Of course by having the barrel removed I had better access to clean the chamber and corners of the receiver. I appreciate all of the input in this thread, it has been most helpful.
