Outstanding video. I still own my very first Ruger 10/22 with its original magazine (40 years ago). I have never dissembled it after thousands of rounds. Now I know how. Thanks

Well thought out video. It might help to know that once the nut is started it should be rotated from the 12 o'clock position one full revolution and then stop at 4 o'clock. A total of 8 sides of the nut past the 12 o'clock position. I'm not trying to out do anyone, but my first 10/22 was a 1969 Sporter, that's 51 years old, then a 1977 Carbine, then a 1987 Sporter for a project, and finally a 2014 Take - Down. And in all that time I have had probably 20 plus 10 round mags. With only one unfixable failure, a broken spring. But the original mag from the first 1969 Sporter is still going strong. With a combined total of well over 250,000 rounds of ammo put thru them that is impressive. Ruger got it right with this gun/mag combination. For what it's worth, stick with Ruger mags, the after market ones regardless of capacity are not very reliable, with the exception of Butler Creek ones. If you do your part these things will outlast you. As an aside, the steel buffer pin at the rear of the receiver should be an immediate discard and be replaced with an after market silicone rubber one. They might eventually wear down, but it's better than a cracked receiver. So just replace them as or if you see any wear. That's all I've got, thanks for the video.
I really admire your instructional videos. Very clear, concise and great camera work. Your Rossi 92 instructions are equally clear. Thank you kindly for taking the time to offer them.
I've watched the three videos you made for disassembly and reassembly of the 10/22. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make and post them for us. Tom
Two turns seems to be about right. I hold the nut lightly with a pair of needle nose small vice grips. Once the right tension is reached you can tip the nut a bit sideways to engage the mag body then let go the grips while pushing the nut home. I don't break my nails that way! :-D
Thanks for a great video. I bought two new mags and they were really hard to load. They springs were to way too tight. I backed the spring off and now they're easy to load. Thanks a bunch. I gave you a "like".
I noticed you used a Torx bit (T20) to tighten up screw which will work but be aware that it will strip out screw over repeated removal and replacement. The Allen (9/64" hex) wrench should be used to prevent camming out over time.
Thanks, just what I needed. Mine was sticking and I was able to reassemble it with your help. I did notice that if I tightened the main bolt that held it all together too tight on reassembly, it didn't allow the barrel to turn freely. Once I loosened that bolt just slightly, the barrel inside was able to turn and feed the ammo.
probably cause it needs a weird 4.5mm allen-key/ hex head driver which alot of people dont have cause its a weird size, hell im an engineer and i dont even have a 4.5mm hex head, hell i used a flat head screw driver to take that bolt out about 4 hours ago haha, i have one that fits between 2 points of the hex nut and just be really careful
@@fuzzyfeetoffury A 4.5mm is to big for my magazine which was bought new in 1985. Mine takes a 9/64 Allen wrench ( actually called a socket head). Apparently over the years Ruger has changed it.
There has to be an official number of flats that the nut turns to properly tension a new spring, and that would be nice to know. And as for a plastic on plastic type of magazine, powdered graphite is about the only type of lube you could safely use as it will not attract dust and gum up the works like oil or grease, it will not get hard in freezing conditions or get runny in the heat like oil or grease, and will not attack anything plastic like some solvent type of oils might. Blains farm and fleet sell it by the gallon for something like $18 and that much will last 1000 people lubing their magazines for a few hundred years!
Interesting. Moving frictional parts and no lubricant. I need to research this concept more. Maybe a dry lubricant? Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Wait. What does this do? I’m looking for videos on stovepipe. Sometimes my round will get stuck while it’s being ejected after firing. Anybody got any tips?
Hi, if you have not already done this ,try taking your rifle and mag apart and give it a good clean, sometimes it is this simple to stop jamming etc, cheers.
My Rossi Rifle Alright I actually twist it to the point I couldn’t anymore and screwed it tight and I check if it did anything. It seems to be fine on the consistency part as the rounds would fall id say 5-8 inches away. I have a rd or so that’ll go 10-13 inches away. So I’m not sure if it help or not. Guess I’ll just need to hit the range to test it out.
My Rossi Rifle I think I definitely need to do that. My dumbass seriously spray painted my bolt and I had to put alcohol on it to rub it all off again and I might’ve still got some paint in the bolt itself etc. I’ll learn how to disassemble it and assemble it back. Thank you though for your time.
Turn the adjustment nut lightly clockwise until it stops, then turn it 8 notches exactly then tighten the bolt
Yessir. No point in leaving the tension up to chance

Same here. My Ruger 10/22 is 40 years old. This video showed how to finally clean it. It did need cleaning. Thanks

@@bobgarr6246 You're actually starting at 11 when tension starts so it would be 3 or 1 1/3 turns.
@@oldschooldude8370 He was right, 8 turns (notches).

Thanks for that Tom,cheers.
I've owned 10/22's since the 1970's and never had a magazine apart.
Gotta love UA-cam eh !
I like to hold the nut in one hand and turn the magazine with the other. A lot easier than trying to turn that little nut.
I would have never figured this out alone. You saved me a lot of frustration. Can't thank you enough
I can see why you used a torx screwdriver, hex screw is in Imperial ☹️
Ordered one on flea bay.
Concise and understandable. Well done! Thank you!
The correct tension is achieved by turning end nut 8 flats.
Nice only be sure to check the baseline tension prior to disassembly so you know what it felt like. Great video, thanks
excellent video Sir; I just feel bad my British bothers cannot get the BX-25 mags
Thanks. You saved me some $$.
I was experimenting with some odd ammo and I got rim locked on my mag. With your help I got it fixed
After all, how many turns do you need to make on the spring part?
Excellent instruction ! Your a great teacher
Thanks for that ,cheers.
Mine made it over 20 years with no cleaning!
Excellent video, Easy to understand.
Thanks mate 🏴
T
your welcome, cheers.
Thank you for the info.
welcome.
Great! I was able to re-assemble this over-complicated magazine with no trouble.

Thank you for the short video. it solved my magazine troubles.
Thats great, thanks.
Thank you for making it simple enough.
you're welcome.
8 FLATS
Thank you
Excellent video. Had one apart. Could not member how to reassemble with the correct spring tension.
Great job, thank you for all the great info!
Your welcome, thanks for looking in, cheers.
FYI ..If you a older original, Version 1 ?? rotary magazine , that has the really small Allen head .... it is a 5/64ths
GREAT VIDEO ! THANK YOU !
Looks like a allen screw head where you are using a torx screwdriver. Otherwise, good video.
Well done. thank you.
Merry Xmas.
Bought an extra trigger group to use as a training aid to show others what you have taught me.

i am watching british guy tell me how to do this, embarrassed
I turn the nut 360 degrees plus one more flat for proper tension. Good vid bye the bye. Thanx.
+lee sherman Thanks for that,yep i just push on the rotor with a screwdriver to see how much tension is on,i think i put a bit more than 360,cheers.
Thank you. I am a new owner of a 10/22 and this was very helpful!
Thank goodness I have two of these. One to leave alone and use to calibrate spring tension.
Nice video. Simply enough
Excellent video thanks
Merci (Thank you)
Tandemkross sells a tool for this purpose. The tool is nearly impossible to use. Just my opinion. Your way is much better and easier.
Thanks for that, glad it helped, cheers.
Why are you using a torx for a hex bolt?
probably cause it needs a weird 4.5mm allen-key/ hex head driver which alot of people dont have cause its a weird size, hell im an engineer and i dont even have a 4.5mm hex head, hell i used a flat head screw driver to take that bolt out about 4 hours ago haha, i have one that fits between 2 points of the hex nut and just be really careful

8 flats. 1 1/3 turns. Puts you at 3 o'clock.
@@oldschooldude8370 isn't that 4 o'clock? EDIT: OK, I read another comment from you in a different video, you mean starting at 11 o'clock 😀
Really helpful, thank you.
Interesting. Moving frictional parts and no lubricant. I need to research this concept more. Maybe a dry lubricant? Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Lube not required, very minimal moving parts touching.
thank you
GREAT detail - thanks!

Any issues leaving these magazines loaded?
Hi, I never leave a magazine loaded , the only issue I can see would be one of safety, cheers.
Either leave them loaded or unloaded. The springs life is only effected by how many times it is compressed not how long it is compressed.
Thank you for a great tutorial.
Your welcome, its not perfect but does the job :}
I give the nut a 360 degree rotation plus one more flat of the nut for proper tension. Seems to work well.
Thanks for that, cheers.
No need to disassemble these🤯
I have original magazines for my 66 10/22 and they became quite loose. I had to tighten them to restore proper feeding.
