[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 1094696, member: 10973"] Not a 10/22 expert but have helped fix a few. Except for the ejector spring, most use the stock springs instead of the replacements in the kit. Never seen a stock 10/22 that the bolt guide pin didn't need to be polished. Pull the spring back with the bolt handle and lock it back with a piece of leather and small vice grips. Grind the crimp off the end to allow the handle, spacer and spring to be taken off. Be careful and don't let it go twang or you will never find the spacer. Make the rod is straight and chuck it in a drill. Polish with 600 then 1200 sandpaper with a little oil. Clean it up and reassemble. You really don't need to re-crimp the end but you have to remember to be extra careful when removing and replacing the bolt or it will go twang and you'll be searching for parts. Did you use the spacers that came with the hammer and in the proper location. It's pretty obvious but have seen them installed wrong. Last but not least if it's a newer gun the inside of the receiver is probably pretty rough, a couple swipes with 600 sand paper helps allot. You don't want to take any metal off just clean up the rough spots. Most new 10/22's need a little TLC before they will run properly. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
