- Here's a video walkthrough on how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble a Ruger 10/22 rotary magazine.
Note: The music is too loud. Sorry. I know. It didn't seem as loud on my system when I made the video in 2007 and there's no way to edit it now. Please do not leave comments about the music being too loud; any such comments will be removed.
If the music bothers you, you can view the same video without music (thanks CZcams!) at • Disassembling, cleanin...

Hi all! If the loudness of the music bothers you, please see the music-free video at czcams.com/video/x0CsX1lNquI/video.html - please do not comment complaining about the music, such comments will be removed.
I recorded this video over a decade ago and didn’t know much about video editing then. I can’t change the volume of the music after it’s been “baked in” to the movie.
Thank you.
dumb ass music. Now remove the comment.
No need to apologize for some of the finest music ever written.
Too bad you can't remove all the thumbs down, Lou Sir
Big hello from Northern Ireland UK 🇬🇧 . Thanks for taking the time to explain this so concisely and plainly. I hate videos that go on for half an hour before the person actually gets to the subject. This is the best video in the subject I have come across. 👍
Wow! A video from 1953! Thanks man!
Truly I must say:
Its an AWESOM video and a very stately black-tie affair at that, Thank- you sir for your insights. You make that look so easy...
Just bought a Ruger 10-22 & will be cleaning the magazine the 1st time that I clean the riffle, almost looking forward to it.
Thank You
Made my 12yr old watch it... Then clean our 4 magazines... Awesome.
The way he talks is fine, it's simple and clear.
Thanks for the video. I'm glad I didn't throw away the parts once I had it apart.
I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to post this tutorial. The music is very distracting through, especially because the quality of the music audio is better than the voice over.
Thanks Matt, I just had a feed problem with my Ruger 10/22 so I assumed it was a dirty magazine. You got me through the process in short order. Good concise video.
Brandenburg Concerto No 3(Allegro) - and it is NOT too loud ! I listen to Bach much louder when gunsmithing. Great tips on the magazine - I should have watched it yesterday before the "mistakes were made"
Thanks for a top-notch video on something useful.
Hilarious and informative. Feels like you were doing parody of a 1950's style educational film
D C I love those newsreel videos, so I'm flattered you think this is in the same style (it isn't, at least not intentionally).
As a newbie to caring for my guns, I loved the step my step instructions. The tightening of the spring while putting together was a neat step. Thanks and I enjoyed the music, a lot.
I enjoyed the music while following your instructions, Cheers mate.
I knew somebody would have this one on youtube....good job and thanks.
Your video was more helpful than the one from tandem cross.
Love the music!!! Thank you for the concise, step by step procedure. I was about to toss the mag I disassembled!
Brilliant. Holding the nut, and rotating the mag makes reassembly a breeze. Thanks. Been wanting to do this for a long time.
Thank you sir. Recently purchased a new Ruger 77/22 Magnum. I found a couple used rotary mags in another shop for 22 magnum and snatched them up. Obviously whoever had them before had not seen your video. %^) I managed to resurrect them both with your help. Found out as well that over tightening the bolt is a no no.
This guy is blessed with a Golden Radio Voice...lol
big praise to you fella, just purchased a secondhand ruger, it fired CCI subsonics without any jams, but the mag jammed couple times, watched your video and took mine apart, the insides were swimming in oil,grit and small piece of wood!! anyway, all clean,dry and works and feels like a new item
Thank you!! I was not putting enough tension on the spring when I reassembled, now I know to wind it eight notches.
All we need is the old Bell &Howell projector sound effect in the background! LOL . You're probably too young to have had film projectors in the classroom, but us old timers sat through many of those films. I got a real kick out of your video. And seriously thank you for the video, very well done and informative! I just got a 10/22 with this magazine, and read the instructions , your video makes it easier to understand. BTW the music is a cool touch. the whole thing is great, fun to watch.
Excellent video with clear instructions. Thanks
I love the "Masterpiece Theater" music! Try simple green for cleaning, leaves no dirt grabbing residue .
I now feel much more confident about cleaning my new Ruger 10/22. Nice video!
Hey, just wanted to say thanks! I was having a terrible time with a sticky magazine. Had to remove it & beat it against the palm of my hand all the time to get the rounds to advance. I've read on some forums there was no way to disassemble and clean these clips. Not only were they wrong, but it was simple too! My 10 round magazine feeds flawlessly now and I know I can clean it (and others) easily in the future as needed. Very informative!
I tried counting the 8 notches clockwise during reassembly. Then test firing the rifle it started jamming. I then watched the Brownell video that advises turning 2 to 3 turns. I loosened up the magazine to where I retightened about 2 1/2 turns. Now the rifle fires as it should, reliably without jamming. To turn 2 1/2 times, using my fingers to turn, I used a 7/16" socket and while holding tension on the socket I inserted a small screwdriver into the socket to aid in seating the nut . I was able to do this quite easily.
Well done and VERY precise. Followed your instruction and the mag worked perfectly. My problem was the spring tab had come loose from the screw. Thanks
excellent choice of music
quite rich indeed
Thank you for this video. It is clear, concise, and accurate. After 30 years, I will now disassemble and clean my 10/22 magazine. I was always a little leery before. I thought the whole thing might just fall to pieces and I would never figure out how to reassemble it.
Awesome tut, couldn't decide if i should keep it lubed inside, thnx
I needed this information to clean several filthy 10/22 magazines.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Great video, shows how to perform a tricky operation easily! And thanks for the Bach in the background!
Thank you for your praise.
In retrospect, I should have lowered the background music volume. Live and learn.
Thank you. Excellent video
Works the same for my American in .17 HMR
Thank you for this. My Ruger 1022 was used and came with a bad mag. You video helped me to fix it. Thanks again.
Great I’m glad I watched your video. Thank You
Thank you! Easy to understand, excellent instructional video.
Hey Pete,
Nice job on the video. I've had a disassembled 10/22 mage for years and could never figure out how to get the thing back together. Your vid helped me do the deed.
Thanks!
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you so much. This was remarkably helpful! Simple, easy to understand, and with soothing music! haha. Thanks again!
You can never go wrong with Bach.
Thank you! That's quite flattering!
The AGI folks are really top-notch, so to even be put in the same league as them is quite nice.
@GCatalan702 This likely from someone deafened by pounding rock music. Obviously at least coarsened in manners by it.
HeyPete, I've come back to review this video several times these past few years when I clean clips. It's extremely well done--precise, informative, lucid. THanks for the effort.
The music didn't bother me, i was just glad to get a good break down of the mag, thx.
good video, i never even knew the factory mags could be taken apart, i used to just spray and wipe as best as i could with the mag assembled.thanks.
Excellent video thanks!
classy vid bro... I'm headed to the store to buy one today, i'll be watching this again for sure
Very good. Thank you very much for this information. Straight to the point and good to know.
Dude, this video is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing this. The instrumental music kicks ass
a very informative and worthwhile video to watch. many thanks for taking the time to film and upload this.
Outstanding video. Short and to the point.
Well done. Straight to the point.
Thank you the part where it showed you tightening the spring is wat i needed help with because the tension of my spring was very low and would not feed after half or so round had been shot thanks so much because i was about to purchase another magazine
Great video man. You got to make more 10/22 vids
THAAANK YOUUUUU! I spent an hour trying to do this! Very helpful
Thanks, that saved some hassle!
great vid! i kinda like the music. Im just happy that you didn't use evanessance "wake me up"........ thanks!
that was very nicely done and the music was calming... thanks I went looking on YT for this found your vid and now I am all set..keep well. MM
Works like new. Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
it's been years since i cleaned mine, thanks for the quick to video. Guess I better give mine a scrubbing, it was acting up at the range today..
This "rebuild" fixed my problem. I think the key is adjusting the spring, but the MAX this will take you is 20 minutes all said and done (getting your clip, getting your allen, testing it, etc.), so go ahead and do the whole thing.
Great help and video cheers
great instruction video,very clear and precise instruction and demonstration. Great Job.
Thank you
thanks you been a big help
Perfect. Thanks a lot.
Very nice vid, well done and good selection on the tunes.
Semper Fi
thank you so much man we would have never got it back to gether :)
EXCELLENT video!
As I have a (legal) silencer for my 10/22, I use Winchester Dynapoints; they're barely subsonic out of a 16" barrel and are super-quiet with the suppressor.
I use Remington Golden Bullets and Federal American Eagle ammo for my Ruger MkIII pistol.
I recommend that you buy several boxes (say 100-150rds) of various ammo types for each new gun and see which type runs well in your gun and then buy a few cases. .22s can be really finicky and ammo-sensitive.
Good video.
Excellent! thanks!
Everyone needs a little Bach.
My pleasure. Glad to be of assistance. :)
I just used your vid to clean mine,thanks man.
Good one, very informational.
thank you for this video i used it to actually fix my magazine i thought was broke turns out the spring in the back was not fitted into the hole it belonged in.
I use Break-Free CLP. Just be sure to wipe everything dry -- excess oil will attract grit from shooting and result in a sticky goop.
In regard to spring tension Pete refers to {notchs}. Perhaps {hex points} may be easier to understand. Rotate 6 hex points toward tension may be easier to follow. Otherwise great data. Thanks Pete.
If you'd keep quiet I could enjoy the nice music. :)
Great help, very descriptive, thanks!
Really? Most people have nothing but trouble with Ram-Line's magazines, but the factory ones work well. Go figure. Anyway, I'm glad you found this useful.
My pleasure. Mine gum up pretty quickly now that I have the silencer on the 10/22 (the backpressure from the can blows crud back into the action and magazines), so I have to clean them regularly. After doing it a bit, you can clean 'em really quickly.
I use one full turn plus one flat. Probe the large vane with a small screwdriver when done to understand how much tension you have. Trial and error will get you through it.
@buzzclark I've found that after cleaning, one can apply a small drop of oil (I like CLP, but any gun oil will do fine) to the interior of the magazine, spread it around to all surfaces, let it sit for a minute or two, and then wipe away all the excess with a dry cloth. This will leave a thin film of oil to provide lubrication, but won't have too much left behind, which would otherwise allow gunk to build up.
Sometimes, more is not better.
I've found the Butler Creek mag loader to work well.
My understanding is that all modern 10/22s have a plastic trigger guard. I don't think the receivers are plastic, but are rather aluminum.
The only "plastic" barrels I've seen are made of some sort of carbon fiber but have a steel barrel liner that actually contains the high pressure. The remainder of the barrel is carbon fiber to reduce weight.
Thanks. Had a cheap round that was bent and got stock, and when I took out the bolt (?) parts fell everywhere and I had no idea what to do.
Mike Schmauch Ah, yes. I know the feeling. Happened to me years ago with the trigger assembly launching a spring across the room. I ended up putting the parts I could find into a bag and taking it to a gunsmith to put back together.
@Pent5HT Should be fine. So long as the spring does not exceed a critical point (which it won't reach inside the magazine -- you'd have to take it out and pull on it so it'd straighten), it will essentially never wear out. Feel free to leave the magazines loaded or not as you choose; I keep mine loaded, and haven't met with any ill effects.
My pleasure. Glad to be of some help.
I got It Thanks for the help
My pleasure. All I can say about cleaning intervals is "when it needs it". My suppressed 10/22 needs to have the magazines cleaned every few range sessions. Other rifles go for years without cleaning.
Thank you, I forgot to count the turns when I disassembled it. :-)
No, you don't spin the nut 8 complete rotations. Rather, you should rotate it 8 "flats" -- since the nut contains 6 sides ("flats"), you should rotate it one full rotation plus an additional two flats (i.e. about 1.3 full rotations) to achieve the proper spring tension. Page 24 of the Ruger 10/22 manual (search for it online, it's in PDF form) says they tighten the magazine spring to 1 and 1/4 full turns at the factory.
Your mileage may vary, of course. Do whatever works for your gun. :)
I'll take that into consideration, thanks for your input.
The manual specifies not to take apart the magazine and that doing so voids any warranty, also it say that in the factory it is rotated 1.25 times rather than the 1.00 stated in your video .it says for cleaning to spray lubricant into the magazine and to shake it removing any debree from it
Hey buddy, my Dad says thanks!!! :) good job on the vid
