Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best extended magazine releases for a Ruger 10/22?

The presenter highly recommends the factory Ruger 10/22 extended magazine release for its excellent fit and intuitive operation. Aftermarket options like the Timber Creek full-length and short releases are also praised for their functionality, especially for competition and target shooting, though the full-length can snag during hunting.

How does an auto bolt release work on a Ruger 10/22?

An auto bolt release, like the Volquartsen model, allows the bolt to automatically lock back when pulled and then release forward when a new magazine is inserted and the bolt is pulled back. This eliminates the manual step of manipulating the bolt release lever after a magazine change.

Are aftermarket Ruger 10/22 parts worth the cost?

For parts like auto bolt releases, the presenter strongly advises against cheap, unbranded options and recommends investing in reputable brands like Volquartsen for better reliability and performance. Similarly, while some eBay parts can work, quality brands often offer better fit and finish.

What are the advantages of an extended magazine release on a Ruger 10/22?

Extended magazine releases on the Ruger 10/22 significantly speed up magazine changes by providing a larger surface area for easier manipulation. This is particularly beneficial for competitive shooting or any scenario requiring rapid reloads, allowing for quicker transitions between magazines.
