[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3179837, member: 5412"] Would you run your car with no oil, and how long would you expect it to last without lubrication? I've seen so many folks come to matches etc with dry guns and they can't understand why they don't run reliability. Put some light oil on the bearing surfaces and you will notice the difference. If your shooting at 100 degrees, you can get away with a heavier oil, but at cold temps you need a very light oil. Synthetics typically run year around as they don't thicken or thin with temperature changes. 10-22's are a blow back action. Anytime you impede the recoil spring by any means be it friction from no lube or low gas pressure from low velocity rounds is going to cause trouble with feeding, ejection and whatever. Put some oil on your gun and it will run. I can't tell you how many $5000 + OU or SXS shotguns I've seen ruined because the owners refused to put oil or grease on the hinge. Same with the holy grail for me which would be the .22 hornet/20 gage combo Savage. I've never seen one without a sloppy action brought on by not lubing the hinge of the breakover. Edit: the video about the top five failures is spot on regarding the mags. Only the 10 round rotary mags run without issues for the most part. I've ran the BX-15 and the BX-25 and they have failures. Heck just forget the 10-22, and get a Nordic NC-22 upper for your AR lower with Black Dog magazines and all of your issues just go away that are associated with Ruger 10-22's. [/QUOTE]
