Just picked up my first Ruger 10/22 and it is the TakeDown model. My question is what are the first things to change or modify on this fast becoming favorite range toy.

- Bolt release mod. Don't buy one, just Dremel the one you have.
- Lightly deburr the bolt and guide rod. - Plastic buffer rod. Those three are the best bang for your buck mods. |

Thank You  Deburred the bolt, guide rod and did a very little 1000 grit wet sand on the inner receiver. Was getting stove pipes on all my mags (stock and BX25 mags) Going to see if that helps this weekend.

Rimfirecentral action section has faq for stoning the hammer. Or buy a replacement to clean up the pull if you are less handy.

I had to modify the receiver a bit to get them to seat right. I only had issues with the BX 25 mags. I did a thread on it a month or two ago. |

Went to the range today to test out what I did to the 10/22 TakeDown and it ran everything. Tried all kinds of ammo from the cheap to the pricey in 6 BX25 mags without any issues
Now I might have to enter her into the next plate shoot Now to do the bolt release mod.

Don't remove any metal just polish the the contact points on top, the back and the bottom rear of the bolt, the front of the hammer and the sides where the hammer bushing things go. Makes for a much smoother operating rifle.
