[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3567029, member: 43754"] There are 10-22 owners that this has happened to, and those that it will happen to. Do you still have an extractor? It is a very minor fault of the design. Back in the 80's when I had a Gunsmith shop, I had a box full of spare extractor parts on hand-spring plunger and extractor. When this occurs it will often blow the extractor out also. Check your gun and see if it still has one. I was working at the time in northern California where there is larger ground squirrel population and these guns got a good work out. I won't say I have replaced hundreds, but I have replaced lots, one or two a week when the squirrels were out. From what I can tell and what others who repaired this gun on a regular basis have shared with me, this occurs while feeding and the cartridge is out side the chamber. We believe the case gets slightly jammed going in, and the extractor hits the rim hard enough to fire cartridge. When it happens the report is different. It is pretty obvious form the pictures in the first post this cartridge fired outside the chamber. This is a common occurrence with the 10-22. My late wife's gun would do this several time a gopher season up in Montana. We would fire 100-200 rounds a day each. Chambers and extractors would get fouled and dirty and that seems to be when this would occur. Type of ammo did not matter. It has never occurred with my 10-22, Just my late wife's gun. [/QUOTE]
