I got myself a used 10/22 on monday and tried it out today. It was sweet! It has a pistol grip and folding stock. Now, if I could just get it to function properly... It worked fine for the first few magazines and then all the sudden it it wouldn't cock the hammer after each shot. It would fire, eject, and load just fine but the trigger felt soft for the next shot and nothing would happen so I would rack it (ejecting a live round) and it was fine for the next shot. When I brought it home on monday I cleaned it but I didn't break it down (what's up with Rugers and their complications anyway!?). Tomorrow I plan on breaking it down and seeing if the bolt is gummed up or something. Is there anything else I should be looking for? Could this be a spring problem? The thing that bewilders me is that it functioned flawlessly for the first 40 or 50 rounds and then I fired another 50 or 60 rounds and this problem happened for every shot!
