Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger woes

Mostly out of touch with the new issues as I don't own a 77. Sorry I missed the angle. Not perfect. Simply stating those are the ones that come in here and the issues I see. Ruger by far outweighs the others with issues.
Any advice on how to get the ejector out since ya know so much about em? Kroil for a week and 2 punches later give nothing....

Yep S&W is on my list, even though they've come back around???

I only own 2 Ruger 22 pistols for target work as they are the best for the job. A concession and done before the stabbing happened.
I own one Smith after the stabbing, no good options at the time for a 329PD... One has to do a few things they don't like at times. Including the coming #1 at some point.

Now that Bill Ruger has passed on maybe their anti-gun stance has changed, just as S&Ws has changed with ownership....

The necessities for making a"Ruger rifle" shoot well. Re-torque the action screws(center screw just touching enough to stay in place), remove pressure pad at front of barrel (float barrel), check barrel channel for undue odd pressure spots, check action inletting for odd pressure spots and neatness ( no stray wood chips making uneven contact on action) , LAP scope rings, stone trigger, and bed the action. I have learned that if a rifle won't shoot well after that, the crown is not correct and re crown. I just have not seen a Ruger rifle not shoot at least respectably after those modifications which I consider basic new rifle preparation.

If I didn't send the rifle back to Ruger to replace the ejector I would heat it up with a soldering iron and let it cool to break it free. No guarantees, but might work. Replace the pin regardless when you get it out.

All opinions and information from me are free and I assume that you will value them for the good intentions that I express by giving them.

Recipe to make a Sucks shoot sub moa. Take out of box, shoot.

I own Ruger - rem - win and a few other off brands of rifles along with a couple of custom barreled rifles I also do all of my own gunsmithing as well as for A few close freinds of mine, All I can say is since Ruger started making their own barrels A few years ago they have become my favorite rifle . TO EACH HIS OWN........

What anti-gun stance? All Bill Ruger did was to enunciate a position already adopted by SAAMI, a position that was intended to help head off an assault weapons ban. All the major gun manufacturers were in on it, but it was Ruger who took the rap for speaking out. When the assault weapons ban was passed anyway, Ruger took a leading role in its not being renewed.

Moreover, the Ruger family and the Ruger company have surely done as much as anybody, and more than most, to keep the American shooter and hunter supplied with quality firearms at affordable prices. To characterize them as "anti-gun" is as ludicrous as it is stupid.

I was responding to this:



It is not necessarily my view......

Hmmm? Could be the goo. I haven't retried these screws since I loosened them the first time. Somebody did say that Ruger torques that front screw to 90 in.#'s. As I recall, the owner's manual says either snug or firm. [/quote]

I rechecked the screws last night and they're right where I set them for torque/tightness. Doesn't look like there's any "goo effect" on this one.
