I have seen a few times here and there where people have rounded the back corner of the 10/22 where it presses the hammer back.
Can anybody tell me of a reputable company who will do this for me? Or even a DIY step by step instructions on how to do it myself? Thanks |

I installed a Ruger .22 Mag bolt handle on my 10-22 Trainer. Even with the OEM bolt lever, one's little finger could cycle the bolt.
Aftermarket vendors will sell all sorts of bolt handles. The OEM Ruger part is no longer available from Ruger, although some vendors may have it. As noted above, radusing the bolt is not normally needed with standard power high velocity ammo. |

This guy is well regarded.
I did mine with a grinder, files, and sanding block. My rifle is reliable with high velocity ammo but was really spotty with standard velocity (found out twelve years after purchase!) 
It was home-done only because every dollar counts in this household...and I'm very reluctant to spend money on things I can handle. |

Thanks for the reply's guys. I am going to be dealing with a gentalman by the name of Que from rimfire central. He has rave reviews and everybody loves his work. I will be getting my bolt radiused, pinned and headspaced. He has a website as well, HERE. I have been emailing him about getting my bolt done, and he is very profesional and a pleasure to deal with.
I wish I knew about the guy you posted sooner, he is in the next town over from me, but is a little pricier. I will still deal with Que as I already told him I will be sending my bolt to him, and I am confident after reading all the good things about him. |

Que does good work.
He'll headspace and pin the firing pin too, if you like. If you're going to use high velocity ammunition, the radius is not necessary. If you polish the guide rod, the inside of the reciever, and the hammer face, there is a good chance you'll get your 10/22 to cycle most, if not all standard velocity. Just be cautious if you ever decide to swap to 17HM2 if you radius the bolt...it will affect timing and you are more likely to have an OOB discharge. |
