JohnKDM re 10/22 feeding Part II

by A K Church, Sunday, September 24, 2023, 13:24 (425 days ago)

Ran 100 rounds of Mini Mags through the SBR today, and again not one failure to feed or cycle. The magazines are still a little fiddly to seat, but once locked in, are steady enough to feed, well 200 rounds in a row. 100 Winchester hispeed, 100 CCI hispeed. This was with Ruger BX15 mags. The 25 rounder might be pushing it...

The stubby little beast is filthy inside, and it gets cleaned today.

But the immediate reliability issues appear to be solved. Now the next projects are getting it to cycle with subsonics, and to improve the accuracy by a whole lot.

Good news!

Filthy comes with suppressor territory, even with good ammo. A heated ultrasonic cleaner helps a lot, especially with magazines and trigger groups since you can toss them in without dismantling.

If your accuracy is wonky with the can, try it without. Baffle strikes are ugly, but the bullet doesn't have to actually hit to cause accuracy issues, just get close to one side. I think it has to do with gas speeding up on one side and slowing down on the other due to the different gap size... it deflects the bullet. The bullet needs a certain gap around it as it passes through, even if perfectly aligned. Years ago, I line bored a can as an experiment with minimum clearance. Accuracy was awful. Kept opening it up in stages and group size abruptly improved. A tight bore in a can with perfect threads sounds ideal, but it isn't - and this is magnified if the passage gap is lopsided. Just something to check. Also, not to sound patronizing, but just in case you don't already know this, don't use a washer between the can and the barrel thread shoulder. Some guns that are threaded at the factory come with a wavy washer under the tread protector and the owner leaves it on when installing the can. Bad juju, it throws off the alignment and can give the same effect. Its purpose is to keep the thread protector from unscrewing.

Interested if standard velocity ammo cycles.

Good news!

Never tried it w/o the can, so that's my next step, hopefully a week from now.

velocity ammo. The Charger Pistol and Take down rifle both run CCI stand velocity and Mini mags flawlessly.I haven't put them on paper but the both shoot minute of squirrel at 20 to 30 yards. My MK1, that you and Matt gifted me, runs well with the same ammo too. I do need to clean them all too...[image]
Just goofing off with your 30 call can and the thread adapters here. Old picture before the "final rule ATF trolls...[image]
The take down 10/22 now wears a Mag Pull stock. I won the SR22 at the Gunsite/Shooters Mini Holiday during the Rona BS. It is OK. I actually used another SR22 with colibres as a rat killer, un suppressed, before I had any cans. those colibres won't cycle the action so it is very quiet as is.

MKI with a Pac Lite upper I traded from JT years ago. RMR I bought from Boge. So I have has a lot of friends involved in this guns assembling. One of my most used guns these last few years.

Good uses for cans! A suppressed 22, either a pistol or SBR

is a handy item. Rob also makes an excellent chest rig for a full size can or integral!
