Couple of suggestions: Check your firing pin to see if the back end of it is peened over. Mine did that after about 15-20K rounds and a new firing pin cured it. (PM me for contact info if you need help replacing it). Other things to check would be the hammer and the hammer spring.I had a great time this past weekend and got to meet some fellow NESers. My weekend started out with my 10/22 light striking the primers. (17 ftf out of 20 shots).
Oh, another baptism of North Bridge water!! I almost got to do that to a shooter at Throop... he got a 209 and we just could NOT find another point. So I've still got the water, and it's waiting... *evil grin*Who also shot a 210 and got doused! Congratulations, Dan.
Fred did the running target that I hadn't thought about in years. That's definitely going into my Sunday afternoon bag-o-tricks.

get a partnership going with the Rangers of Minuteman National Park, and if half of them are anything like Dave, this could be huge.

He separated the silhouettes from a redcoat target and divided the shooters into teams. We started uprange at about 50m(a guess) from the firing line. Fire command was given and we had 60 seconds to get to our rifles and put as many rounds into the target as we could. Team with the most hits wins.
I just purchased and installed Volquartsen Exact-Edge extractors on my LTRs last month, and they didn't have ANY hiccups all weekend... and they did get used. I know that all the eggspurts say that "it's blowback; the extractor doesn't do anything!!!" but my (admittedly small) experience leads me to believe otherwise.She had some failures to extract on Sunday and her mags wouldn't drop free. I cleaned up her action a bit and showed her what to do. I need to shave down the mag-well on her rifle for the mag problem.

Hey, at less than 10 bucks and about 10 minutes to install them, what have you got to lose for trying?
Jon, glad you had a good time. Wish I could have been there but I was out in Throop with a crew of newbies of my own.

I put one in my 22/45 that was stove piping, it seems to have fixed the problem. My MkIII and both my 10/22's haven't needed it... yet. I should probably order one so I have it on hand.Replacing the extractor with the VQ part solved my 10/22's stovepipe problem also. Fixed a stovepipe problem in a friend's MkIII also (it's the same part).
I guess I'm cheap, I just requested it at the library this morning. I also requested the audiobook version of 1776 by David McCullough so I have something to listen to on the Mass Pike & Thruway this weekend.My copy of Paul Revere's Ride just arrived today, so I've got reading material for a while.

According to the gurus at rimfirecentral.com, that screw is frequently a bit too long and will work it's way loose under usage (as it hits the underside of the barrel or the barrel block (I forget which)). They recommend taking it out and filing it down about 1/8". I did that and no longer have problems with it loosening up.And BTW be sure your stock screw is socked down tight to the receiver. I found my receiver/barrel rattling around in my stock Sunday.
