Ive got one and I like it alot. But like most 22's, my R77/22 gets shot often,detail cleaned little.
Having never cleaned the bolt assembly I figured today was the day. Hit up You Tube for a video to back up the sketchy manual instructions. Bingo! Moving picture are worth a million words.
We get the bolt out... tear it down , clean it up, grease it up, and put it back together.
Then it's time to stick the cleaned up bolt into the rife. First one way...then the other. Twist like this, twist like that... it won't go in. I figured I'd missed something when I re assembled the bolt... so we went through that a dozen times.
So I put it down and walked away... and tried again to no avail.
Came back again... twisted the end a little ... it ran in on it's own... I was really glad it let me win at the end.
I got a Ruger Rotary mag to work again. The little turn- out on the power spring had sliped out on the "nut" that faces the back of the rifle. That holds the spring so it can "twist" while the rotary guts are loaded... as the rifle cycles that spring spins the rotary around to present a fresh cartridge.
Ran a few shots out of it... seems to be fine now. I have a couple of spares.. but at $22 a pop fixing one for free is a deal.
