Difficulties arise, however, if the rifle resides in an area that requires it to be cleaned and lubricated to prevent rusting of steel parts. In drier climates, malfunctions will eventually occur due to fouling buildup, regardless of lubrication applied. Despite how good the Ruger 10/22 is, it won’t run forever without some attention.
First are simple cleaning operations. This requires disassembly, which is begun by removing the magazine and checking to see that the chamber is empty. Next, loosen the takedown screw and remove the barrel band (if a carbine model). Now push the safety button to halfway between safe and off-safe. This allows the button to clear the stock inletting just above it as the barreled action is lifted out of the wood. Failure to attend to this detail will put a nasty dent in the stock, and the rifle still won’t come apart.
