CARE AND CLEANING Cleanliness is most important to the function of this blow-back operated autoloading firearm. Any failures to feed or extract rounds may be indications of a dirty chamber. Never fire more than 50 shots without scrupulously cleaning the chamber.Use commercially available bore cleaning solution and a brass brush, followed by drying with a cloth patch, to remove any powder residue. An excess of dirt, powder residue, or oil in the chamber will cause malfunctions and may result in potentially dangerous cartridge case ruptures and release of hot gasses and case fragments when firing. At regular intervals, or whenever the rifle has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse condi- tions, disassemble, clean and oil it. Proper periodic maintenance is essential to the reliable functioning of any firearm. To clean the rifle, proceed as follows: 1. Disassemble (field-strip) the rifle to the extent described on pages 18 & 19. 21 DAMAGED, NON-STANDARD, OR IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED MAGAZINES SHOULD NOT BE USED. THEY CAN CAUSE THE RIFLE TO MALFUNCTION. Exploded view of 10/22 Magnum magazine components. This illustration is included only to show the relationship and names of the magazine compo- nents. As noted in the text above, the magazine should not be disassembled. Improper reassembly or improper tensioning of the rotor spring can cause a potentially dangerous malfunction. If you experience a problem with the maga- zine, don’t use it. Get a new one. WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, BE CERTAIN THE RIFLE AND ITS MAGAZINE CONTAIN NO CARTRIDGES. !
Firing a rifle with oil, grease, or any other material even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to the rifle and serious injury to the shoot- er and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubri- cants directly on ammunition. If the powder of a cartridge is affected by the lubricant, it may not be ignited, but the primer firing may push the bullet into the bore where it may be lodged. Firing a sub- sequent bullet into the obstructed bore may dam- age the rifle and cause serious injury or death to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants prop- erly. You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearms. IMPROPER LUBRICATION DESTROYS GUNS 22 !WARNING – LUBRICATION !WARNING – STORAGE OIL Never place or store any firearm in such a manner that it may be dis- lodged. Firearms should always be stored securely and unloaded, away from children and careless adults. STORE SECURELY & UNLOADED 2. Using a cleaning rod, run a solvent-wetted patch through the bore several times. Then attach a solvent-wetted bristle brush to the rod and run it back and forth the full length of the bore as many times as necessary to remove grease and dirt from the bore and chamber. Clean bore with dry patches and examine. Bore fouling can contribute to reduced accuracy, and grease accu- mulation in the chamber can interfere with proper feeding of cartridges from the magazine. 3. Using powder solvent on a clean patch or bristle brush, remove powder residue from all components of the mechanism. After cleaning, run a dry patch through the bore, then follow with a patch that is very lightly oiled. Wipe all surfaces clean with cloth, then wipe all surfaces with a patch or cloth that has been very lightly oiled. 4. NOTE: Only a light application of oil is needed to provide adequate lubrication of moving parts and to prevent rust. Excess accumulations of oil tend to attract particles of dust and dirt and may congeal in cold weather which can interfere with the safe and reliable functioning of the rifle. 5. Do not store the rifle in a leather case or scabbard. Leather attracts moisture, even though it may appear to be dry.
23 ATTACHING RUGER SCOPE RINGS Each Ruger telescope ring is a mated assembly of a top and a base. Do not mix the parts of the two ring assemblies as they are not interchangeable. On the underside of each mounting ring assembly there is an integral lug, located off center with respect to the front and back sides of the mount. The lug is nearer to the front surface. By reference to the lug, the mounting ring can be correctly assembled with the front of the ring toward the muzzle of the rifle. 1. Disassemble one ring and reassemble over the scope body between the turret and the eyepiece. Remember -- the lug on the base should be on the front side of the scope. 2. Install the four top screws. Do not tighten. 3. Disassemble the other ring and install it on the forward section of the scope tube with the lug forwardly also. Install the four top screws. Again, do not tighten. 4. Assemble the rings to the scope mount bases in the top of the receiver with the lugs engaging the recesses in the top surface of the bases. Tighten the clamp nuts so that the rings are locked to the semicircular cuts on the side of the bases. 5. Rotate the scope until cross-hairs are aligned properly and slide scope to desired eye relief. Then tighten the eight top screws each a bit at a time to grip the scope body. 6. Sight in according to the directions with your scope. SIGHT ADJUSTMENT The folding leaf rear sight is adjustable for elevation. The slide must be moved one graduation to change the point of impact by approximately one inch at 25 yards. Use a small screwdriver with a blade tip that exactly fits the screw-head. Loosen the screws only slightly so the slide doesn’t move too freely. Move the slide in the direction you want the point of impact of the bullet to move. When the slide is positioned at the desired height, carefully tighten both screws. Lateral (windage) adjustment is made by ‘drifting’ the sight base in its slot. Place a short brass rod against the sight base (and only the base) and tap the sight in the direction you wish to move the point of bullet impact. Before moving the sight, pencil mark an index line on the sight base and rib so that sight move- ment can be detected. SUGGESTED SIGHT PICTURE Top of front sight even with top of rear sight slide. Front sight centered in notch of rear sight slide. Target bulls-eye centered on top of front sight.
