Hate the bolt lock on my 10/22 takedown
Recently picked up a 10/22 takedown and I love it. That said I hate the bolt lock. That's all

Need to look into this more... My naive understanding is the mod releases the lock when you pull the bolt back. Am I on track?

^ Yes.
You can mod the original part, or some aftermarket ones also have an extended front tab for easier use.

I just got a new one for my 10/22. It takes about 5 min to install. The stock part sucks.

Thanks for all the responses Checked out a few YouTube videos and it definitely seems simple enough to pull out the stock part and replace/modify. I placed an order for a replacement part since it was cheaper than buying some grinding bits for my Dremel (plus I'd probably screw it up ).

I dremeled mine, but not successfully. Apparently most people get away with just making the heart shape an oval, but mine that wasn't enough.
Cf- http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...oltrelease.jpg So I need to go back and finish it. But while it doesn't auto-release, it isn't finicky anymore...just touching it a bit when the charging handle is pressed back, and pop. No more having to depress it at just the right angle...so I was close... |

Hmm, I did not remove any material from the large angled area. Unless they changed the profile in the newer rifles.
See the VQ, the lower edge where the point was is arched/bowed in an arc. It must be bowed to work well. The Ruger shows the profile as almost straight. Be sure its arched/bowed and you're golden! To operate, you just rack the bolt back. It will release. It sounds like you are trying to release the bolt by still pressing on the bolt release tab.

Swapped out my bolt lock/release with the auto one today. That plus the bolt buffer took less than 5 minutes to swap out. After a few hundred rounds yesterday I had got used to the stock one but I definitely like the auto one better. It's much less finicky when locking (ie: I can hold it down while sliding the bolt back) and love the auto release.
