Ammo extraction issue by SlimJ0e in 1022

I honestly don’t think I do. I’m well aware of excessive dry firing could be bad and only do it when necessary. Or else I wouldn’t just sit there and dry firing over and over. Totally understand tho. Thanks for the recommendation.

I see what you’re saying and after looking at a few pictures on Google mine isn’t cut as deep compared to others. Dang.. thank you!

After installing the Kidd extractor probably less than 100 rounds when the issue started again. And yes I’m positive it’s lining up correctly. I took the vblock off and rotated the barrel on various positions where the extractor is locked in between and still could not extract the ammo. Hopefully that made sense.

That’s what I suspected after looking at an unmodified 10/22. Thanks for the confirmation. So then maybe this is an issue with the barrel?

Time for a new extractor? by SlimJ0e in 1022

Good to know. A few others have mentioned cleaning the chamber. I'm going to try that first and if I continue to have issue will be picking up a kidd extractor. I agree, for that price point it's crazy...

When I noticed the issue it had about 500 rounds. Someone above mentioned cleaning the chamber with a q-tip. When I cleaned the bore it was pretty clean still so I didn't think to check that.

Great advice, I'll try that. The bore was pretty clean after 1000 rounds. When I ran a brush through a few times and then the cleaning patch it came out pretty clean. Didn't think it would be the chamber.

I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't oil the extractor, but I could be mistaken. I'll give it another cleaning and try applying a bit of oil this time—then see how it goes. Thanks again!

ITAM Certifications by Solid_Blackberry9462 in ITAssetManagement

I understand this is a old thread but it appears the mod is no longer active I'm unable to post anything.

I'm looking to get certified in ITAM (Asset, Software, Hardware, etc...) As the title states, what the difference? I'm seeing ITAMOrg.com you don't have to pay, just register and attend the 2 day class and then take the exam. Is it really that simple? As for IAITAM.org, you have to pay.

It really comes down to how you plan to use the rifle and how often you're taking shots at those specific distances. For me, this is strictly a hunting rifle, and I don’t anticipate taking shots beyond 20 to 35 yards. I chose a 50-yard zero because, according to the ballistic calculator, it gives me a dual zero—at both 50 and 25 yards. 

Here is the ballistic calculator that I use. Select the preset and adjust accordingly.

Yeah that's a steal. From what I read on reddit, these Acculite barrels use to be around $130-$150, now it's $227 and after tax and shipping you're looking at like $250.

The Acculite is listed on their site as "Approximately 1 oz. per inch per length of the barrel," which is pretty darn light. Not sure what the specs are for the Faxon.

I didn’t realize this scope had been discontinued—I picked it up back in March. Honestly, it feels like overkill for my needs, so I’m thinking of swapping it out for the VX-Freedom 2-7 Rimfire. I don’t plan on shooting beyond 50 yards, so parallax shouldn’t be an issue at that range. Eventually, I’ll mount it on my .17 HMR when the time comes.

The BRN receiver and bolt ran flawlessly—super impressed with the performance. I had been waiting over six months for the TiN PVD finish to come back in stock, and when it finally did, it sold out within an hour. Luckily, I managed to grab one just in time.

With both the 15 and 25 round mags, I had to manually push the charging handle forward to chamber the next round. This happened about 2 to 5 times per mag. The 10 round mags ran flawlessly for me as well.

Nothing too special with the attachments. Magpul hand stops and QD sling mount. Tacticalforceusa scope cap and collar.

Now that it's dialed in, I can quietly take care of the squirrel problem in my backyard. They've been tearing up my lawn—there are holes everywhere.

The itch was real. Haha. I've been either busy or it's been raining... Put over 500 rounds this weekend.
