Broken Receiver

[thegerb50 0]

So i broke the receiver on my Ruger 10/22 (I don't want to talk about it). The aluminum frame is cracked. What are my options other then a big paperweight? I know not to shoot it and am already going to pick up a new one as I need it for this weekend. How do I dispose of the old receiver? Any other suggestions?

I would call Ruger.. They are really good Cust service wise.

I will guess that Ruger will ship a replacement receiver to your FFL of choice, where you can take transfer via the standard 4473 and NICS process w/fees.

Sending it back to ruger for evaluation after being on hold for a hour. They were very curtious and helpful. Let's just hope they have a good turn around time...

Let's all guess....

 

I guess he crunched it in a vise when pulling the barrel.

Ran over it

A lot more mundane. I wish it was something fancy like a barrel swap. Def didn't toss it to clear a jam. Stripped it down, pulled the bolt to clean it, went to put it back in, went in crooked and got jammed under the rail it slides on and during the process of clearing it, receiver cracked.

Is that code for "when it didn't fit in, I pushed it harder, when it wouldn't come back out, I got the really big hammer"?

 

For 99+% of gun issues, team push it harder does not have the answers.

Nope. Wouldn't fit. Wouldn't got back. Tried holding it upside down and shaking it. I know the receiver is aluminum so I skipped the hammer and used the back of a screwdriver to tap the bolt not even really that hard. Guess I just have shit luck and a bad day. Or a really hard/heavy screwdriver.

I'd give it a shot of calling Ruger. I wouldn't tell them about hitting it with the screw driver. They may have had some bad castings at sometime.
