As you can imagine, metal hitting metal thousands, even hundreds, of times cannot be good for the action of the rifle. A simple upgrade to your rifle can avoid any complications related to this problem and possibly lengthen the life of your 10/22 by decades and only for about six dollars.

You can purchase a bolt buffer at several websites including TKO22 , Volquartsen , and WeaponKraft

Alternatively, you can build your own bolt buffer for about 50 cents. All you have to do is go to your local Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a 1/4"X 3" nylon bolt. Just cut it down to size and you have your very own 10/22 bolt buffer.

It comes with a removable 5 or 10 round rotary magazine. The standard Ruger 10/22 has been in production since 1964.

The rotary magazine is a Ruger exclusive that holds 5 or 10 rounds while remaining flush with the stock. You can purchase 10 round, 25 round, 30 round, 50 round, or drum magazines at several websites.

You can purchase a 10/22 at almost all major outdoor retailers, including Wal-Mart, and most pawn shops. They are relatively cheap guns in the $100-$200 range in their original format. Its low recoil, affordability, and cheap ammunition make it the perfect candidate for a first rifle or just a great rifle to toy around with.

The 10/22 is one of the most popular commercial rifles available with over 5 million sold since 1964. The large after-market item selection makes it possible to change your rifle any way you wish, to fit any style or job it needs to do. The 10/22 is entirely functional and a great rifle right out of the box, but you can spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars making it one-of-a-kind if you so wish.
