Is there a way to keep the bolt from cycling on the 10/22 – i.e. a single shot mode?
Thinking there might be a way to tether or block the charging handle.

Cut a piece of Al in the shape of the ejection port. Then fit it to the ejection port with your charge handle of choice in it.

Pretty simple, but remember that you really just want a bolt action.

He are some ideas, the first link is to someone who makes a device but apparently no longer answers emails.  The second link is to a magnetic doodad.

The second easiest thing to do would be to have a gunsmith install a heavy enough recoil spring to keep the bolt from cycling.  The previous poster already alluded to the easiest thing to do.

I have something to eliminate the noise of the action of my 10/22.










A Henry H001!

Let the rifle fit the mission!

nada, what is the purpose of your wanting single-shot mode without the bolt cycling?

If safety, the simple answer is to single-load the magazine. If low noise with a suppressor, the simple answer is a bolt-action rifle. If something else, I'm very interested in knowing.

I think there is risk in trying to force the 10/22 to do something it wasn't designed to do. No jerry-rigged mechanism to hold the bolt closed will work as well as the locking lugs on a bolt-action.

You can hold the bolt closed with your thumb to keep it from cycling

if you want manual cycling only, and you don't mind spending some money, PWS makes the T3 receiver, which is a toggle-lever 10/22 action.

There are also things like this:



Personally, I run a soft buffer, and it's not all that much quieter, shooting subs, to let the action cycle.

While not a big fan of the 10/22, I find those PWS rifles/actions sexy as hell.

How do you do that and shoot accurately?

Be left handed and use a bipod

I bought a basket case of a Springfield Model 87 (7-vent) that I plan on fixing up and threading.

It has the ability to be locked closed by simply pressing the bolt handle in. I've seen one done that way and it's as quiet as a bolt action. The real plus is it fires shorts and LR.

I thought about that, but was not sure what force was needed, and if injury would occur.

I thought about modding my Razor receiver and bolt and making a knew knob assembly that would function in a very similar way, either pressing in / pulling out, or turning the bolt knob 1/4 turn.

It feels like a flick.

Once you realize that at 10ft, with a rubber buffer, the difference in peak sound between semi and bolt is indistinguishable, you'll stop worrying about it
The biggest difference is just the sound coming through your cheekbone as the action cycles.
