I love the 10/22 I had one in Arizona and it kept me fed when I was out of work. All the teenagers around there had them to. The only thing was the first time I took it completely apart it's a good thing that I put each piece in line on the table because it has a lot of springs and part but as long as you lay them out right it's easy to completely clean every part of this gun. But when the kids saw me do they decided to do it with their 10/22s because they thought running a cloth down the barrel was cleaning until they watch me. I did show them how to do it so they would know how to put theirs back together but the next day all 3 of them showed up with bags full of springs and want me to put guns back together. Lol I guess they didn't listen as well as I thought.

When I was a boy I went to a dealer looking for a new rifle. The man was a real gunsmith. I was drooling over this AR 15 looking 22 on steroids. That sure would impress my buddies. The old gunsmith said "No son, that ain't what you want." He put a 10/22 in my hands. I remember being skeptical about the rotary clip. Well that was 1977. Thousands of rounds and shameful abuse. The lack of proper maintenance and proper cleaning is truly embarrassing for me. I knew better. This weapon never failed me. Not one misfire. Not ever. When mom passed I found that old gun while cleaning out the old house. Took it to a young smith who knows his stuff. She got the works. On the side of the barrel are the words " Made in the 200th year of American Liberty" He gilded that. No extra charge.

I believe everything you have said. I have had my gun for 52 years and have fired it constantly every summer and winter. It is my only survival weapon my back up weapon my meat getting weapon. I have been operating the same clip for those fifthTwo years. It has never failed me except when I didn’t clean it and it woodstove pipe. Thank you for letting everyone know how great a 1022 is.

Everyone has one. They’re cheap, easily customizable, reliable, accurate, fun to shoot and easy to maintain. Plus, if you bought it used, you can shoot it for 10 years and sell it for what you paid for it. One of the all time great firearms.

A long time ago one of my neighbors gave me some .22LR ammo he found in the attic. It was Winchester in a blue and yellow box, which I'd never seen before. I think they sold that in the 1930s and '40s, and this was the late '70s. Anyway, I was shooting this OLD ammo in my 10/22 and started having failures to eject. When I looked at the bolt I saw that the extractor and its spring and plunger were gone! I picked up some of the brass and looked at it, and found some ruptured cases, including one that had a big piece of the rim sticking out sideways. The gun still worked most of the time without an extractor. The cases blew back into the ejector and it kept on going for 9 rounds out of 10. I ordered the 3 parts I needed from Ruger, cheap, and looked at the exploded view drawing in my owners manual to figure out how it went together. It was a piece of cake. I still have that gun, which cost about $63 and change IIRC, back in the '70s when my dad bought it for me, AND it came with a real walnut stock. The stock is now worth more than what the gun cost, and I'm not even using it. I have a Butler Creek folding stock on it. The 10/22 is like LEGO for adults. You can take it apart and put it back together as something so different it's hard to recognize.

My mom was PISSED when she went out to find all her cloths pins and her line shot to hell!😂😂😂😂😂😂

This was my first rifle, iv put over 20k rounds through mine over the last 20 years. Still makes it on every range trip. Decent ammo and fresh mags is all they ask for.

I hear you on the Marlin Model 60... I have had mine for 35 ish years. Take it out every other month. Only problem ever was a loose feed tube. My grandfather taught me how to take care of it. PROPERLY. Still a great gun. It comes down to care and knowledge. Love my 10/22 also.

I bought a Ruger 10/22 last Fall at a Gun Show and I ent into a time warp remembering how much fun a .22 is. I know also own a Colt 22 in the AR Series and a few months ago a Taurus TX22...which is my fav firearm. Not my EDC, but, my fave firearm just the same.

Had no idea about the two ejectors. Thanks for the knowledge! I've had my 10/22 since I was 11 and I still have much to learn about it.

Still have the old 10/22 my Dad taught me to shoot on. Did not appreciate the technology of it until I saw your video. Thanks for the info, 2 thumbs up!

My 10/22 is my favorite rifle. I have gone a bit nuts on customizing it though. I now have almost $2,000 in it including accessories. I wanted to point out that 10/22 magazines (BX 15s and 25s) need a break in period. For mine it was about 100 - 200 rounds per magazine and never have issues since. The ammo brand is another factor. It doesn't like Remington Golden Bullets but loves anything CCI. Another cheap part to replace as soon as you buy one is the bolt buffer pin. The receiver housing is aluminum and the bolt slamming back against the buffer pin will eventually waller out the hole the pin fits into. Buy a polymer one for around $10 and it will keep that problem from happening. It also gets rid of the annoying ping sound and smooths out the action some. Also, use a torque screwdriver on the takedown screw when putting it back together. On a polymer stock it's 40 lbs. If not the accuracy is effected every time you clean it. I shoot mine almost every week, 500 rounds per trip.

Got mine in 1971. Seen a buttload of ammo over the years. Still an awesome tack driver. By far my most favorite weapon. Grandson hopes he will get it someday.

I always wanted a 10/22 and about 4 years ago I came by one owned for 22 years by a local farmer who had shot many thousands of rounds through it and he reported that it had NEVER malfunctioned. He traded it in to a friend's gun shop on a take-down version and I got his old traded-in one for very little money. The previous owner had NEVER cleaned it, not once in 22 years. The trigger group was full of crap....old bullet lube and powder residue,.I stripped it right down and cleaned it all up and machined up an adapter to fit a silencer. It fires everything from subsonic to stingers and is astonishingly accurate. It's a wonderful little rifle and I am sure will still be operating long after I am gone. I can see why they are so popular...... I have two other .22s, an old Springfield bolt gun, and a Remington Nylon 66.... both fine rifles, but the little Ruger is kind of the 'go to' .22. The barrel is easy to remove and replace too..... Brilliant.... Having bought a used Ruger magazine recently that had feeding issues, I found that the spring tension is important....

Im from sweden and even a ,22 powder burner needs a license and it all goes over the "not so easy" hunters degree here. But i shot a 10/22 abroad and it´s also the only riffle in 22LR i ever shot, but decided to grind through the hunters degree and get a 22 LR. And for me it´s only one, the 10/22. for me it´s almost a "plattform" with all the customization available. so really appreciated this episode. thanks from "up north" :D

thx for this. you just made me feel really good about buying one of these. i went to the shop to buy a handgun, but decided to add this on when the shop keeper told me this was the most desirable 22 rifle on the market. i love shooting rifles at the range so decided to get it. i took his word for it being great and i'm glad i did.

Gun cabinets my gun cabinet is the floor of the bedroom closet. Caught my 4 and 5 year old nieces look at the 22s it was winter time. I took them to where I went shooting. I ask them which was harder the frozen ground or their belly. They said the frozen ground. Then I showed them the little 22 bullet and ask if they thought this could hurt them and they said no. Then I helped them to hold the 22 and fire about ten rounds in the frozen ground in front of them. When they seen the large hole in the ground in front of them they never look at my 22s again. That is proper gun safety training for kids.

I didn't buy a 10/22 until 2006, that I kept at my cabin for the family to plink with. It came with a cheap BSA Red Dot. Still have it. In 2009 I bought one and seriously customized it. The only thing original on it is the receiver. With the 3x9 scope it shoots ragged hole 5 shot groups. For the last 6 months I've been looking for a Charger 22 but no where had any, online or in town. Today, I went to my LGS and asked if he could order one for me and he pulls out a model 4924 Take Down. I didn't want a Take Down and it was priced over MSRP. Then I went a pawn shop / gun store to see if they could order a 4923 or 4938. To my amazement they had a new 4923 for less than MSRP. This and two bricks of CCI Mini Mags, is my Xmas present to myself. The 10/22 is a great design.

Very good, informative video. While I consider myself more of a collector than a shooter, I do enjoy working on my guns. I own a Marlin/Glenfield 60 and a couple of 10/22's and do see that there is a considerable difference. Not only is the Ruger easier to work on, it also offers some other advantages. One advantag3e is that a jig is available to drill a cleaning rod hole in the back of the receiver to prevent damage to the rifling near the muzzle. This hole will not show when the receiver is in the stock, and it can be tapped for a plug screw. Another advantage is the soft buffer accessory that installs behind the bolt. I also have an old Marlin 336 SC in .219 Zipper which I really liked until I bought my first Henry Big Boy and found out how much easier the Henry is to take down and reassemble. While older Marlins were great, the newer ones, not so much.

Smith and Wesson MP15-22's are pretty sweet as well. I've owned one of the newer ones for a few years and so far it is fun and functional. It shoots everything I load in it, even low velocity and quiet rounds. I have not had one misfeed or stovepipe. Tiny groups, light weight, reliable, easy to clean, and It takes most AR upgrades which is fun. (Edit: I did replace the extractor and firing pin with aftermarket from TandomKross before ever firing it, not sure if that's why my specific gun is so reliable.)

One of my first rifles, I have the Bicentennial Edition from 1976. Looks great, shoots great. Saving it for upcoming grandkids! Loved it so much, I got the Mini-14, my go to rifle (tactical edition). Every gun is good if it works for you.

My compliments on your achievements. Aerial Gunnery is a challenge. It is a perishable skill set that will elude you as you age. Stay your course young man. You have many lessons to share with those willing to listen. My sincerest compliments.

You wanna see cool? I will show you cool.. The aftermarket folding stock from Archangel (QBD) allows a traditional 1022 to fold up conveniently AND switch out barrels like a champ. I don't know why the 2A community hasn't made a big deal about this. I have owned one for about a year now and love it. Great job on the video by the way, other than nomenclature flubs, the content was solid. If you really do like to use your 1022, this stock will put your favorite little rimfire back onto your list of regular, everyday firearms. Of course you will probably start looking around for a target barrel and an optic.

Always loved shooting .22 and i grew up with my first being a marlin model 60, i loved it. Was a fun gun and super accurate with the 4x scope on top. Looking back i guess i didnt notice any of the flaws because i never cleaned it. Later on in life i got back into shooting .22 and the marlin had done exactly as described in this video, it was just locked up. I ended up trading it off for 3 25 round magazines for a new ruger 10/22 and never looked back. I currently own 2 ruger 10/22's a stock carbine and a heavily modded steel challenge rig. Both perform flawlessly.

I had one once and it was a tack driver with CCI Stingers. My squirrel rifle. Guess I'll have to get one soon

I've had my Ruger 10/22 about 12-15 years. I don't have a high round count, but it's fun and cheap to shoot. I have a Tapco stock set, with fore grip, and a budget red dot that makes it sort of look like a AR-15. I still have the wood stock, so switching it back is simple. Really cool rifle, and one I will never get rid of.

I agree with your points on the Ruger, as I’ve got one, but I also have a model 60 since 1983 that’s been flawless. 2 awesome examples for sure. Good day and God bless.

Never fired a Marlin m60. Back when I was young my Dad has a Win m250 laver action, my Uncle, a bolt action Marlin. When I was 13, 2 boys who lived across the highway had a Browning .22 Automatic Rifle. I noticed, while firing it that it was kinda slow. Turns out their Grandfather, who had bought it new, never cleaned it. And neither did they! They didn’t know how to take it apart. Well, it was a Take-Down model! So I removed the barrel. Pulled a couple of pins in the action (after I removed the spring return tube from stock), pulled the action out & cleaned the hell out of it. & the receiver. One of them cleaned the barrel. Put it back together, loaded it, went out the back door & fired into their Grandfathers impact area (had a 25 yd range right off the back porch)! What did you do to it?!? I said I cleaned it! You just fired full automatic!!! “No I didn’t.” So they reloaded and fired it. Well, apparently, it turned out, I could move my trigger pretty fast! It wasn’t all that fast, but whatever that rifle’s rpm rate was. I could unload the 11-22LR rnds in about 3-4 seconds. The younger brother practiced for a week and could match my rate of fire. At 50 ft, either of us could empty 11 rnds into an NRA official 50 ft 22rimfire target, in the black! His brother could put 11rnds in the black, but his rate of fire was 2-3 seconds per shot. My brother would miss the “target” 4-6 times out of 11 shots. He was good at baseball & football! We had another friend who had a Rem Nylon 66 stock fed, like the Browning. That was a great.22 automatic also. When I got out of the Marines in ‘81, I moved to Austin, TX. Looking for a .22 auto, the only Brownings & Rugers I could find were new. Didn’t have enough money. I started looking in pawn shops. I found a Remington Nylon 67, removable box magazines, for $65. It only had 1-6rnd mag. He said he could order more if I wanted some. I said Yes! Turns out it used the same mags as a Rem 52(I think that’s correct). I could get 6 or 10 rnd mags. 6 were $3.74 each, 10 rnd $4.45 each. I had $20. I got 4 of the 10rnd mags. Went home & cleaned it, then went to range to some shooting. Damn, couldn’t miss! I had that .22 for 11 years. Then it got stolen! Police never found it. Probably didn’t even look. Anyway, I rambled on enough here. Good Video! Thank you!

They are excellent rifles. His review seemed a bit biased. The model 60 to many is the one of the greatest .22 rifles ever made.

Was always a Model 60 guy. Had an old used one that I personally put a six figure round count through. It was ancient and rusty when I got it. Never really had an issue with it. Bought the boys a pair of 10-22s for Christmas one year. After we played with those for a couple of years, I get it. We have several 10-22 rifles now. Model 60 Marlins are no longer in the mix. Too complicated to be as cheap as they are, and the Rugers are too strong to have to worry about. Glad I made the change.

My dad bought me a 10/22 as my first firearm in 1965 at Fed Mart (remember them?). It has a cherry wood stock and a five digit serial number. That gun has never messed a beat. I liked the gun particularly because it resembles an M1 carbine. My dad also added a Weaver scope (made right here in my home town) and a sling. Great gun!

Back to support ya buddy. Oldie but a goodie. Mine got trashed. Waterbed sprung a leak while I was on vaxca, 1022 swam underwater for a week and a half! Stripped it, cleaned off the rust and went right back 100% on shitty federal and the bx25's. Done and done. Kick ass.

I have a 1897 Trench and a few trapdoor Civil War, some of other weapons guns etc. but I had forgotten I had the 10-22 and while deciding to take them all down and do some repair on the Win 69 and 69A (stripped breech bolt handle), I had shot a lot as a kid, I saw that 10-22 that I'd only shot once decades ago. REALLY cool rifle, took it completely apart,cleaned and successfully put it back together. Wow so much I could add on to it. Don't have much of anywhere to shoot anything I own in my area of WLA without taking a long trip out of town but when I do I'll have some fun with it.

I have a large rimfire collection. Kept three 10/22's. One a sporter, two liberty models,all with walnut ,non sporters have steel buttplates. The older the better ,generally, on rimfires. I don't have anything bad to say about ruger, or older Marlins.

Yeah I've never been a big fan of tube fed weapons for the exact reason you said about potentially getting your hand over a hot weapon. I've also been looking into 10/22's / Ruger Chargers for a little bit now, I'll be picking up one or the other for sure in the near future.

Bro this was hilarious. The analogies did me in. 🤣🤣🤣

I have a Talo Distributor Exclusive 10/22 with a Mannlicher stock, my favorite version of the gun. I also have a Marlin Glenfield Model 60 that was made around 1983, bought it off GunBroker for ~$80. Thing was well used and still took years to break on me. I love both rifles.

I loved my Remington ~ Nylon 66 ~ .22 LR fantastic rifle. Still have it with my Colt Woodsman

The thing you call "Extractor" at time 19:35 is actually ejector. The extractor is in the bolt on the right side to claw case out of the barrel

I am 60 (+++) and been arguing w/ my (older) bro for 50 years about the Marlin vs Ruger .22 thank you very very much!!!!

Loved my Marlin growing up! Made me into a great shot. Got my father a Ruger 10-22 and I'm gonna buy one soon because of your video.

Love the video. Additionally, the flush-fitting rotary magazines are brilliant. It doesn't get in the way and the mag is protected. I would like to get a 10/22 take-down.

I've had my 10 22 since 75, and I believe the only thing I replaced the extractor springs. They really almost never ever fail.

my family and I have been looking into a ruger 10/22 takedown with the magpul stock for it so we can fit it in the bug out/bug in bag, about 500 rounds or so could fit in the bag too... thank you for the breakdown!

I spent so many evenings shooting clothes pins off the line, LMAO when you said that, my mother hated that gun.

Got one I bought used in 1996. I have no idea how many tens of thousands of rounds have gone through it. Rescoped it once. Still pops golf balls at 100 yds. Absolutely the best .22 for everything except maybe the Olympics. Great video - thank you for the enlightenment about the 60 - my buddy who loves his will lose our next argument!

Haha right on

I used to buy cases of .22 ammo and take my 10/22 out on weekends. I had a BMF activator that pulls the trigger 4 times for every turn of a crank on it. It was normal for me to put 3,000 rounds of ammo through it using 50 round magazines in one day. I did this for many years on weekend outings. I never had a failure. Amazing what you do if you have money and no girlfriend.😁 My rifle still works as good as new. Now my wife and daughter shoot it and they love it! The first part of your talk you were talking about the “ejector” not “extractor”.

Because the Ruger 10/22 is so popular, you also ha a ton of aftermarket options available (trigger upgrades, stocks, lasers, etc.).

My first 22 was a Remington nylon 66, got it $50 at pawn shop at the age of 10. I was super happy. The history of the nylon 66 is amazing.

I have one I got from a guy for cleaning all the guns in his shop. He was a super cool guy and a good friend of my dad's. It's still at my farm down in Texas. Next time I'm down there I'm going to get it and put a good synthetic stock and carbon fiber barrel. I may even put a binary trigger in. 22 plinkster had one he put together with a binary trigger. It shoots a lot nicer than an AR on burst. Or it looked that way when he was shooting it. That rifle is pretty beat up looking but I have an aimpoint on it and it shoots as good as ever.

Since I like to hike and camp. I went with the backpack model of 10/22. Love the tack driving accuracy.

I ruck mine through the deep woods occasionally, and my only complaint is that the front sight is very angular and always gets hung up on briars as I am walking through the brush. and i wish the bolt was stainless. But other than that, It has served me quite well.

Marlin 60 is more accurate, have outshot every 10/22 target shooting!

Don’t have to tell me. I love these things. They work, they have 25rd mags, everyone makes parts/extras, and they run suppressed very well.

Cleaned my 1995 Ruger 10/22 and found the barrel was loose. Easy to tighten with Allen wrench, but YES, the barrel will come loose. Good idea to check when cleaning.

I bought one in the 60s when I was 12 or 13. They were popular because they resembled the 30 cal carbine which every kid wanted. The rotary clip was a big deal and the fact that the receiver was milled from a solid block of steel made it hard to beat.

Glad to see you're back in good humor.

I have a late 60s or early 70s Glenfield & Marlin 60 with the micro groove bull barrel, dont have too much info on it bought it non-functional with the bolt stuck open for $20 almost 10yrs ago. Took it home took it apart readjust the extractor with a dime, and replace the spring and firing pin. Works like a charme ever since I've mounted a Bushnell scope and man it will make you feel like a sharp shooter lol ring 6" steel easy @ 100yrds

But it won't unless you need a new barrel, and why not just upgrade? You can do a barrel swap easily, just don't put a carbon wrapped piece on it, he has a clip on that as well.

I must be sold on the design as I own 3. One is my first rifle from when I was 8 or so. The second I bought when the take-down model came out, and I recently got an 80's stainless model with a laminate stock used, but in excellent shape. I think I am gonna send the first one back to Ruger to get refinished and make it look new again. 40 years of use and it looks great except for some rust it picked up in storage at some point. I notice you are old enough to have one with a metal buttplate too! NICE!

I love my Marlin Model 60. Haven’t had any issues with it yet but I would love to also own an 10/22 just because it’s magazine fed and different capacities for it as well.

Haha, I found a Marlin 60 in a dumpster in the 90’s throwing lawn clippings away in a shady apartment complex. The tube was missing and I never invested the time in repairing it.

Hey brother for some reason.... and not some creepy guy. But your personality and explaining anything that you put on KZread really connect!! I have so many questions about my firearms and want to do some mods maybe you can put me in a right direction! Alot gun shops around my locations if you are not a regular customer they dont have any patience. The KZreadrs some are cool but there a lot of them dont response or too busy. !! So hopefully i can hook up when you have time!! If you can't i understand its crazy how this year been. Take care and God bless !!

From what I've seen, I've always liked the marlin 60 design along with it's 15 round magazine (not to mention the beautiful walnut stock on the one I saw in person) but I can't argue with a man who obviously knows a hell of a lot more on the topic than I do! Great video!

I've never shot a Marlin model 60, but I have a Marlin model 88 and it has been super reliable for me. With its buttstock tube feed, it eliminates one of the issues the video has with the 60. Also it can hold 15 + 1 in the chamber for 16 rounds total. And man that walnut stock is beautiful!

@@rowhsv I just started really getting into firearms a few years ago but grew up around them, was shooting as early as I can remember and have always had something for home defense. Honestly, it could have been the 88 that I shot, just went off appearance in the video and assumed. Now I'm genuinely curious, it's my mom's so maybe she still has the instructions and stuff that came with it. Only thing that I know for sure is that it's a marlin and was purchased around 2012 give or take a year or 2. I'll have to ask next time I visit.

The one thing I tell people when they are looking at 22s is I heavily recomend the 10/22 not cus of the aftermarket or customer service at ruger, but on 2 spicific things. 1. Its reliable as hell 2. Its dead simple to take apart and deep clean every part. The trigger group is ridiculously simple to tear down compared to other designs.

My dad has an oldschool 10/22 while mine is polymer. What's great is all the parts are still the same decades later and can easily be swapped. My brother on the other hand went with a takedown model which is also pretty nice, but not as easily interchangable.

I like the Henry also, but a 10/22 literally saved my Dad's life one day when a feral dog spotted him on the trail. It began snarling and my dad took aim just in case. Well, it decided to try it's luck, and Dad won, literally pumping every shot into him before he fell 15 yards in front of him. The Henry wouldn't have been able to pull that off.

I recently inherited a couple of rifles from my father (Covid). He was a Vietnam era army vet and had three rifles and a pump 12ga. I ended up with a sporterized Remington 1917 (nice condition) and a .22 Remington 550-1 also in great condition. Plan on getting them properly serviced at a gunsmith then taking the wife and kids shooting with the 550-1 as none have prior firearms experience (army vet myself 90s). For beginners the .22 is ideal I think and I always liked the Rugers and if I was going to get another it be like yours or one of the .22 Nylons.

"If there's girls watching..." Too funny!

If i was into auto loading .22 lr rifles i would already own one. But i like bolt .22's so I went with the ruger american in .22lr

Yes the 10/22 is probably the most reliable 22 on the market. Easy work on easy to shoot and way overbuilt.

I love my 1022! Its always been one of my favorite rifles. I bought mine in 1981 for $85.

I'm 50. My dad got me one when I was about 10. Laminated stock. Still have it and love it.
