Just curious, has anyone attempted to tune their 10/22 to run CCI Silent ammo? What do you think it would entail, lighter spring, bolt or both?

I presume you mean the Quiet .22s.
My .22/45 feeds one normally on occasion, so a lighter spring might be all you need. The solid nose ones are pretty accurate in that pistol and my rifle (77/22). Feed perfectly too. The segmented ones don't group as well. They are pretty quiet, probably quieter than a lot of airguns. Range rules require hearing protection, but if I could shoot off my porch, I think I'd go without.
Good stuff. I bought a brick when they first came out, liked them and quickly ordered three more before the word got out. They seem to be available online fairly often.

Oops, yep Quiets. I seem to find them easier than subsonics lately. They work fine out of my manual action guns but not my semi autos, although I did get a couple rounds to cycle my AMT Lightning (10/22 clone)once. Just wondered if anyone had tried to tune their 10/22 to function reliably with them.

I cut 6-8 coils off my recoil spring and mine would cycle Aguila subs pretty reliably, so i am petty sure I could make it work with the CCI's. Might take a few tries and some smoothing and polishing but it'd probably work.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but they actually cycle my Browning SA-22 without any issues or modifications. I would think a lighter spring would work though.

I just learned from a thread on rimfire central how my 1951 semi auto beehive Rem550-1 cycles with CB shorts. It has a sliding half chamber that, for a time, puts the blowback energy all in the slide acceleration and none into extraction friction. And I messed around with springs trying to get later models, like the Rem 552 to do that. No spring can be light enough. It will jam from too much spring... overlaps with will not feed from too little spring
