dryfiring. never do it on a rimfire. but what about 10/22's? or other semi auto rimfire weapons? for example. if i have a round chambered, then i need to eject it without firing....do i leave the weapon cocked without a round in the chamber?

Nastybutler; I have the same problem with my Buckmarks, and have yet to find out how to drop the firing pin without using the trigger. I do not worry with the Rugers as much.

I use a spent .22 hull for some cushioning, loaded thru the open breach, to drop the pin on.

WD; Last week my brother and I was at the range, shooting rimfires, and he went to the front and came back with some 22 LR snap caps.
Trying to decock on the empty chamber, without dry firing, seems to be the problem with some semi-auto rimfires.

I am sorry maybe I misunderstood...He was asking how he could release the pin without dry firing...I figured he could release the pin on the snap cap.
Am I thinking incorrectly?

Yea; True, but then after you eject the snap cap you have to dry fire the gun to release firing pin again.
I've tried playing with the silde on my Buckmarks while squeezing the trigger to release it, but same thing happens everytime. This has always been one of those things that I can't get to work like they do with the centerfire pistols.
One day I'll come up with an answer to this.

OH I see what you are saying...HMMM well is there any harm in leaving the snap cap in place until next use?
I guess I can try it, however, what if you hold the trigger in and cycle the bolt...will it eject the snap cap without retracting and holding the pin?
I will post over on mine, I have some 10/22 people who may know
I will be back in touch!

Never really tried it with the 10/22 until today. Here is the solution with the Ruger: First, With the bolt retracted all the way rearward, hold in on the trigger. With the finger still holding in on the trigger, slowly ride the bolt forward. Next; With the finger still holding the trigger to the rear, retract the bolt just far enough to the rear until you feel it grab a little; Now let off on the trigger, squeeze it once more and slowly let the bolt go foward. As the bolt goes forward the trigger pressure will follow with the bolt.
I've got to spend more time with this rifle ;D

I've got to spend more time with this rifle ;D I've spent enough time with it. It gets thrown in the trash! Edited to add: I'd inherited one that is the biggest unreliable POS I've ever had the displeasure to own. It was a 1970s model so far as I can tell. |

It was a 1970s model so far as I can tell. I bought a new Target Model a few years ago and installed a few parts before I began shooting it. I first installed a bolt stop buffer, a Volquartsen 2000 Trigger Guard trigger assembly, a Choate Stock, a titanium firing pin, a Leupold scope, and Harris Bi-pod. So far it shoots pretty good, but it's still just a plinker for me. |

Now if you replace the barrel and receiver, you can assemble the leftover parts into a spare rifle ;D

MLB; Actually, the reciever is where Ruger comes in. Everything else is usually replaced during a project build up. I heard of one company that manufactures the recievers; That would put Ruger out of the picture altogether.
