Comments on: Ruger Reveals New SR-22 — Rimfire AR Look-alike https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2009/09/ruger-reveals-new-sr-22-rimfire-ar/ from AccurateShooter.com Wed, 15 Apr 2026 14:06:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.26 By: Joe Horner https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2009/09/ruger-reveals-new-sr-22-rimfire-ar/comment-page-1/#comment-2959 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 22:09:49 +0000 http://accurateshooter.wordpress.com/?p=8812#comment-2959 The top rail over the reciever does not need to be removed.It is just tight.After a couple of takedowns it will become easier. As far as the allen screws,get a set of T handle allen wrenches with a hex ball on the end. You can never have too many tools.As a matter of precaution remove the rail screws then remount the rail using blue loctite. Then you will be good to go.

I love to fire the weapon and like many of the features. However, the SR22 has a major flaw, in my opinion. In order to break down the weapon for cleaning the bolt and receiver, you must remove the front hand guard using a 3/16 hex wrench. You can only get a half-turn on the screws and then you must remove the wrench and reset for another half-turn. It takes a few minutes to get the two screw out. Then you must remove the sloted take-down screw with a coin or screwdriver. The manual incorrectly states that you can now lift the barrel/receiver from the stock. Opps! Not Yet. Even though the manual does not mention it, you MUST remove the top rail by removing 4 more hex screws with a different size hex wrench. Overall, it takes about 10 minutes and 3 different tools just to get the thing out of the stock for cleaning. Ruger’s downloadable manual is still in error on this issue.

Rimfire weapons with “evil features” are perfectly legal in CA. The only thing illegal would be a magazine with greater than 10-round capacity.

Editor: Thanks for clarifying this issue. We’ve removed Ruger’s statement that the gun would not be California-compliant. Apparently even the big companies can’t always understand California laws.
