Title: Worn out Ruger 10-22
Post by: Special T on February 15, 2016, 01:32:03 PM: A buddy of mine has a ruger 10-22 with tens of thousands of rounds through it. He rebarreled it a while back, but now it keeps jamming. Its a pretty stock rifle. Is it more cost effective to just buy a new one? Would a new BCG make a big difference? Any pointers or places/sites/videos to help make the assessment?

He will see it oblong ( most of the time from 25 rd mags ) you can epoxy it but will not last long ! Time for a new reciver
