Ruger 1022 manual

Then when the bolt goes forward, the cartridge will be chambered again! Always remove the magazine before clearing the chamber, and visually ensure that no cartridges remain in the gun. If it does: 1. If possible, first remove the magazine. It may be necessary to manually remove a jammed cartridge which has only partially been stripped from the magazine. If so, use extreme care. Lock the bolt open with the bolt stop before attempting to clear the jam.

Drawing the bolt fully to the rear may bring the jammed cartridge along. Keep your face away from the ejection port during this operation. Visually check to make sure all cartridges have been removed from the rifle. Safely dispose of any cartridges involved in a malfunction incident. Do not use damaged ammunition in any firearm.

If it appears that the gun and magazine are not at fault and that the jam was caused by the type of cartridge being used, then try another type. If changing to another type or brand of cartridges does not at once eliminate malfunctioning, then the following steps should be taken: a.

Remember, the magazine should be removed first, then check the chamber and be certain it and the magazine-well are clear of cartridges.

Use a bristle brush and solvent to remove grease and fouling from the bolt face, the extractor, the chamber, and the feed ramp. Check to see that the magazine rotor spring tension is adequate. Check the magazine throat to be certain they are free of nicks and burrs and are not deformed. Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the magazine, and try the firearm again. As always, proceed slowly. Be certain bystanders are not close and that you are wearing eye and hearing protection and that your face is a safe distance from the rifle so that any discharge resulting from a jammed cartridge will not injure anyone.

See the Service and Parts Policy section p. Another precaution: When using any firearm chambered for rimfire cartridges, form the habit of examining fired cartridge cases. If they have bulged heads or frequently show splits on any part of the case, the rifle or pistol should be returned to the factory for inspection. If a cartridge hangs up, jams, or binds when being chambered or when being fed from the magazine into the chamber, do not attempt to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the bolt.

Any jam or feeding problem is a signal to immediately stop using the gun until it can be determined what is wrong. Most failures of a cartridge to feed or to chamber are caused by a damaged magazine, improper gun handling, or defective ammunition. Whatever the cause, rimfire cartridge jams can result in the potentially dangerous situation of a cartridge discharging before it is chambered.

If this occurs, the cartridge case will rupture and its fragments will fly out of the gun with sufficient force to cause injury. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors! Keep face away from chamber! With the rifle pointing in a safe direction, remove the magazine, open the bolt and visually make certain there is not a cartridge in the chamber. Then allow the bolt to close. The rear sight leaf should be down, and the hammer should be cocked.

Loosen the barrel band screw B and remove the barrel band B Does not apply to the Sporter Model. Position the safety so an equal amount of the button is exposed on each side. If the safety is not in the middle when the barrel-receiver assembly is lifted out of the stock, the stock will be damaged.

Swing the barrel-receiver assembly upward away from the forearm of the stock. Be careful the two receiver cross pins B-5 and bolt stop pin B do not fall out. Remove the trigger guard by simply drifting out the two receiver pins. It is recommended that the components of the trigger guard assembly not be disassembled from the trigger guard. This is the extent of disassembly required for routine inspection, cleaning and lubrication. If it is desired to thoroughly clean the inside of the receiver by removing the bolt, be aware that although removing and installing the bolt along with the bolt handle-recoil spring assembly is simple, it must be done correctly.

To remove the bolt: a. Position the rifle upside down so the bolt is fully accessible. Drift out the bolt stop pin, located at the rear of the receiver. Pull the bolt handle fully to the rear of the receiver with the left hand, and while it is in that position, using the right hand, lift up the front of the bolt until it is disengaged from the bolt handle.

Remove the bolt handle assembly through the ejection port. Lift bolt out of receiver. If it does not come out readily, turn the rifle over and the bolt will drop out of the receiver. Follow steps 1 through 3 of the standard disassembly instructions above. Before attempting to remove the barreled action from the stock see steps 4 and 5 above be sure to unscrew and remove the muzzle cap screw, part D located in the underside of the muzzle cap.

Once the screw has been removed, gently tap the muzzle cap forward off of the barrel with a non-marking object plastic, leather or wood mallet. The Rifle is now ready for further disassembly in accordance with steps 4 - 6, above, once the muzzle cap has been removed! The rest of the disassembly and reassembly procedures are the same as for the standard carbine. Reassembly of bolt into receiver: a. To reassemble bolt handle and bolt in the receiver, position the rear end cone pointed of the recoil spring guide rod in the mating recess near the rear right side of the receiver.

Maintain the guide rod in its proper position by keeping pressure on the bolt handle with the left forefinger and thumb. At the same time, use the flat side of the screwdriver blade to compress the recoil spring by drawing it against that area of the bolt handle near to the spring. In accomplishing this spring compression it is necessary to maintain the same pressure on the screwdriver with the right hand as that being maintained rearward and inward on the bolt handle with the left hand.

When the spring is fully compressed, maintain it in that position with the left hand and with the right hand lay the recessed section of the top of the bolt on the section of the bolt handle that mates with it. At this point allow the bolt handle with bolt attached to move forward slowly. Cycle the bolt handle a few times to be certain the components are correctly assembled.

Reassembly of rifle: a. Install bolt stop pin and then lay the trigger guard in place and install the two receiver pins. Guns should not be stored loaded or cocked! The rotor must move freely and have adequate tension so that each cartridge is quickly raised to the feeding position. At the time of manufacture, proper rotor tension is set by rotating the magazine cap nut until the rotor stops turning. To test the rotor tension, load one cartridge into the magazine and then firmly press against the side of the cartridge case.

Remove your finger quickly. The cartridge should instantly and fully move in to the feeding position. If it does not, the magazine should be cleaned. If cleaning does not restore proper rotor tension, do not use the magazine. NOTE: After testing, remove the test cartridge. After the magazine has been soaked in solvent to loosen foreign matter, be certain to shake it vigorously with the loading opening away from you to remove solvent or residue from within the magazine.

After cleaning, always check to be certain that rotor movement and tension are correct, and that no solvent or debris remain. Do not disassemble the magazine. Improper reassembly or improper tensioning of the rotor spring can cause a potentially dangerous malfunction. Get a new one. This illustration is included to show the relationship and names of the magazine components. As noted in the text above, the magazine should not be disassembled. Before cleaning, be certain the rifle and its magazine contain no cartridges.

At regular intervals, or whenever the rifle has been exposed to sand, dust, extreme humidity, condensation, immersion in water, or other adverse conditions, 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. 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 accumulation in the chamber can interfere with proper feeding of cartridges from the magazine. 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.

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.

Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on ammunition. If the powder IL O 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 subsequent bullet into the obstructed bore may damage the rifle and cause serious injury or death to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants properly.

You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearms. Do not store the rifle in a leather case or scabbard. Leather attracts moisture, even though it may appear to be dry.

Loosen barrel band screw and slide barrel band forward off stock. Unscrew, but do not remove, takedown screw on underside of stock. Drift out receiver cross pins to the left and remove trigger housing assembly. Reassemble rifle without trigger housing assembly, which contains most of the firing mechanism.

Store the rifle and the trigger housing assembly in different locations. When disassembled in this manner, the rifle is inoperable. It is impossible to fire the rifle until the trigger housing assembly has been correctly replaced into the rifle. Replace the receiver cross pins to secure the trigger housing to the receiver. Check to be sure the bolt, trigger, and safety mechanisms can be operated fully and freely. The rifle is now reassembled and can be loaded and fired normally.

While the rifle is less likely to be used by unauthorized persons when disassembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store a firearm with the supplied locking device correctly installed, or to store the firearm in a gun safe or other secure location, away from children and unauthorized adults. Guns should always be stored securely, unloaded and separate from their ammunition. Firearms should always be stored securely and unloaded, away from children and careless adults.

Use the locking device originally supplied with this firearm for storage. The use of a locking device or safety lock is only one aspect of responsible firearms storage. For increased safety, firearms should be stored unloaded and locked in a location that is both separate from their ammunition and inaccessible to children and any other unauthorized person. However, in the interest of proper operation and long life of a stainless steel firearm, inspect it frequently and clean, lubricate and apply an appropriate rust preventative.

Sometimes discoloration occurs from perspiration or from contact with some types of gun cases. Rusting may occur as a result of the firearm being exposed to moisture, salt air or chemicals. Do NOT use abrasives on the clear coating of the aluminum alloy receiver and trigger housing. External surfaces most subject to rusting from handling, or from exposure to the elements, should be cleaned and wiped dry after use or after exposure to adverse conditions.

If the rifle is to be stored, coat it with a light film of oil or preservative. Where the rifle is in continuing use, and the presence of oil or grease would be objectionable, then the external surfaces can be coated after cleaning and drying with a paste wax formulated for use on metals. Apply the wax sparingly, allow time for it to dry hard, then buff lightly with a soft cloth. When applying the wax, take care that it does not get into the mechanism or on the functioning parts or in the bore.

Be sure gun is completely empty. Unscrew the four filler headless screws from the receiver. These screws may be quite tight. Position Adapter on receiver and place a base-mounting screw in each hole of the Adapter. Starting at the first screw, turn each screw part way in; then move to the next screw, repeating the procedure until all four screws are snugly tightened. Release the bolt handle; then retract it several times, permitting it to snap forward.

If the bolt seems to bind, determine which screw is binding the top of the bolt. If it is necessary to shorten a screw, be certain to chamfer its top so it does not cross thread the hole in the receiver. Attach scope bases and scope to the adapter in accordance with their instructions. Scope mounting precautions: Do not remove the scope base filler screws there are four in the receiver unless the supplied scope base adapter or other suitable base is to be mounted with properly fitting screws.

Do not place any sealant into the screw holes in the receiver, as the sealant can drip into the bolt or receiver and cause potentially dangerous malfunctions. 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. Please contact us if you have any questions about it. Only when you are certain you fully understand the Manual and can properly carry out its instructions should you practice loading, etc. Receiver Mounted Aperture Sight.

This state-of-the-art laser sighting system is designed for use with a specific revolver platform. Rotate empty cylinder to the closed position. Use supplied torx wrench to replace Ruger factory pivot screw with LaserMax pivot screw making sure it is firmly.

If it is desired to close the bolt, again look to be certain the chamber is empty. Put the safety on, retract the bolt to its rearmost position, release the bolt lock and let the bolt snap forward. Keep your fingers out of the receiver!

With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, push the safety to the off position and pull the trigger to decock it. The rifle can be dry fired for practice as long as it is empty and pointed in a safe direction. Push empty unloaded magazine into the rifle until the catch locks it in place. That action causes extraction and ejection of the fired cartridge case. But, when the bolt is operated by hand, there can be a failure to extract the cartridge from the chamber, or a failure to eject the cartridge clear of the rifle.

These failures usually are the result of the bolt not being pulled rearward vigorously, coupled with an accumulation of bullet lubricant in the chamber. From the foregoing it is clear that the gun user must: 1. Always visually check the chamber after opening the bolt to eject a chambered cartridge. If the bolt is not vigorously retracted when being operated by hand, the extracted cartridge can be ejected into the magazine area, instead of outside the rifle. Thoroughly clean the chamber and the extractor as often as necessary to prevent the accumulation of grease and dirt.

If an empty magazine is in the rifle when the bolt is being hand retracted to extract a cartridge, the cartridge may drop on top of the magazine. Then when the bolt goes forward, the cartridge will be chambered again!

Always remove the magazine before clearing the chamber, and visually ensure that no cartridges remain in the gun.

If it does: 1. Be certain the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and the safety is on. If possible, first remove the magazine. It may be necessary to manually remove a jammed cartridge which has only partially been stripped from the magazine.

If so, use extreme care. Lock the bolt open with the bolt stop before attempting to clear the jam. Drawing the bolt fully to the rear may bring the jammed cartridge along. Keep your face away from the ejection port during this operation. When attempting to clear a jam, use only wood tools so that a cartridge will not be ignited if you strike a primer, and so that the chamber and magazine will not be damaged.

Visually check to make sure all cartridges have been removed from the rifle. Safely dispose of any cartridges involved in a malfunction incident.

Do not use damaged ammunition in any firearm. If it appears that the gun and magazine are not at fault and that the jam was caused by the type of cartridge being used, then try another type. If changing to another type or brand of cartridges does not at once eliminate malfunctioning, then the following steps should be taken: a.

Make certain the gun and the magazine are unloaded and that the safety is on. Remember, the magazine should be removed first, then check the chamber and be certain it and the magazine-well are clear of cartridges. Thoroughly clean the magazine See Magazine Inspection and Care, pp. Use a bristle brush and solvent to remove grease and fouling from the bolt face, the extractor, the chamber, and the feed ramp.

See the Care and Cleaning section of this manual for detailed cleaning instructions. Check to see that the magazine rotor spring tension is adequate. Check the magazine throat to be certain they are free of nicks and burrs and are not deformed.

Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the magazine, and try the firearm again. As always, proceed slowly. Be certain bystanders are not close and that you are wearing eye and hearing protection and that your face is a safe distance from the rifle so that any discharge resulting from a jammed cartridge will not injure anyone. If the above procedures do not result in a smooth and reliably functioning firearm, dont use the gun.

See the Service and Parts Policy section p. Another precaution: When using any firearm chambered for rimfire cartridges, form the habit of examining fired cartridge cases. If they have bulged heads or frequently show splits on any part of the case, the rifle or pistol should be returned to the factory for inspection. If a cartridge hangs up, jams, or binds when being chambered or when being fed from the magazine into the chamber, do not attempt to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the bolt.

Any jam or feeding problem is a signal to immediately stop using the gun until it can be determined what is wrong. Most failures of a cartridge to feed or to chamber are caused by a damaged magazine, improper gun handling, poor maintenance, improper or defective ammunition. Whatever the cause, rimfire cartridge jams can result in the potentially very dangerous situation of a cartridge discharging before it is chambered.

If this occurs, the cartridge case will rupture and its fragments will fly out of the gun with sufficient force to cause injury.

Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors! Keep face away from chamber! With the rifle pointing in a safe direction, remove the magazine, open the bolt and visually make certain there is not a cartridge in the chamber.

Then allow the bolt to close. The rear sight leaf should be down, and the hammer should be cocked. Loosen the barrel band screw B and remove the barrel band B Does not apply to non-barrel band models such as the Sporter and Rifle Model. Use an appropriate size Allen wrench to loosen dont remove the take-down screw B Position the safety so an equal amount of the button is exposed on each side. If the safety is not in the middle when the barrel-receiver assembly is lifted out of the stock, the stock will be damaged.

Swing the barrel-receiver assembly upward away from the forearm of the stock. Be careful the two receiver cross pins B-5 and bolt stop pin B do not fall out. Place the safety in the ON position. Remove the trigger guard by simply drifting out the two receiver pins.

It is recommended that the components of the trigger guard assembly not be disassembled from the trigger guard. This is the extent of disassembly required for routine inspection, cleaning and lubrication. If it is desired to thoroughly clean the inside of the receiver by removing the bolt, be aware that although removing and installing the bolt along with the bolt handle-recoil spring assembly is simple, it must be done correctly.

Remove the bolt handle assembly through the ejection port. Lift bolt out of receiver. If it does not come out readily, turn the rifle over and the bolt will drop out of the receiver.

Reassembly of bolt into receiver: a. To reassemble bolt handle and bolt in the receiver, position the rear end cone pointed of the recoil spring guide rod in the mating recess near the rear right side of the receiver. The recoil spring must be flat against the side and bottom of the receiver. Maintain the guide rod in its proper position by keeping pressure on the bolt handle with the left forefinger and thumb.

At the same time, use the flat side of the screwdriver blade to compress the recoil spring by drawing it against that area of the bolt handle near to the spring. In accomplishing this spring compression it is necessary to maintain the same pressure on the screwdriver with the right hand as that being maintained rearward and inward on the bolt handle with the left hand. When the spring is fully compressed, maintain it in that position with the left hand and with the right hand lay the recessed section of the top of the bolt on the section of the bolt handle that mates with it.

Press down on the bolt until a click is heard. At this point allow the bolt handle with bolt attached to move forward slowly. Cycle the bolt handle a few times to be certain the components are correctly assembled. Reassembly of rifle: a. Install the bolt stop pin and then lay the trigger guard in place and install the two receiver pins. Assemble the barrel-receiver to the stock by following, in reverse order, steps 1 through 5 under the Disassembly instructions on page Guns should not be stored loaded or cocked!

The rotor must move freely and have adequate tension so that each cartridge is quickly raised to the feeding position. At the time of manufacture, proper rotor tension is set by rotating the magazine cap nut until the rotor stops turning. To test the rotor tension, load one cartridge into the magazine and then firmly press against the side of the cartridge case.

Remove your finger quickly. The cartridge should instantly and fully move in to the feeding position. If it does not, the magazine should be cleaned.

If cleaning does not restore proper rotor tension, do not use the magazine. NOTE: After testing, remove the test cartridge. When cleaning is necessary, use a solvent that will not rust the metal components or adversely affect the plastic magazine box. After the magazine has been soaked in solvent to loosen foreign matter, be certain to shake it vigorously with the loading opening away from you to remove solvent or residue from within the magazine.

After cleaning, always check to be certain that rotor movement and tension are correct, and that no solvent or debris remain. Do not disassemble the magazine. Improper reassembly or improper tensioning of the rotor spring can cause a potentially dangerous malfunction. If you experience a problem with the magazine, dont use it. Get a new one. This illustration is included to show the relationship and names of the magazine components.

As noted in the text above, the magazine should not be disassembled. 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.

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 conditions, 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 page Using a cleaning rod, run a properly sized, solvent-wetted patch through the bore several times. Then attach a solvent-wetted bristle brush to a cleaning 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 accumulation in the chamber can interfere with proper feeding of cartridges from the magazine.

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.

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 shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants 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 subsequent bullet into the obstructed bore may damage the rifle and cause serious injury or death to the shooter and those nearby.

Use lubricants properly. You are responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearms. Leather attracts moisture, even though it may appear to be dry. Firearms should always be stored securely and unloaded, away from children and careless adults. Use the locking device supplied with the rifle for storage. The use of a locking device or safety lock is only one aspect of responsible firearms storage.

For increased safety, firearms should be stored unloaded in a location that is both separate from their ammunition and inaccessible to children and any other unauthorized person. However, in the interest of proper operation and long life of a stainless steel firearm, inspect it frequently and clean, lubricate and apply an appropriate rust preventative. Sometimes discoloration occurs from perspiration or from contact with some types of gun cases.

Rusting may occur as a result of the firearm being exposed to moisture, salt air or chemicals. Minor discoloration can usually be removed by rubbing the stainless area with an abrasive ink eraser, crocus cloth, or a metal polishing compound. When using any of these abrasives, proceed with care and use light pressure to achieve a blending of color with those areas that are not discolored. Do NOT use abrasives on the clear coating of the aluminum alloy receiver and trigger housing.

External surfaces most subject to rusting from handling, or from exposure to the elements, should be cleaned and wiped dry after use or after exposure to adverse conditions. If the rifle is to be stored, coat it with a light film of oil or preservative.

Where the rifle is in continuing use, and the presence of oil or grease would be objectionable, then the external surfaces can be coated after cleaning and drying with a paste wax formulated for use on metals. Apply the wax sparingly, allow time for it to dry hard, then buff lightly with a soft cloth. When applying the wax, take care that it does not get into the mechanism or on the functioning parts or in the bore.

Retract bolt handle, lock bolt open and push safety to on position. Be sure gun is completely empty. Unscrew the four filler headless screws from the receiver. These screws may be quite tight.

Position adapter on receiver and place a base-mounting screw in each hole of the adapter. Turn each screw until it just catches the threads in the receiver hole, but dont tighten the screws at this point.

Release the bolt handle; then retract it several times, permitting it to snap forward. If the bolt seems to bind, determine which screw is binding the top of the bolt. If it is necessary to shorten a screw, be certain to chamfer its top so it does not cross thread the hole in the receiver. Attach scope bases and scope to the adapter in accordance with their instructions.

Scope mounting precautions: Do not remove the scope base filler screws there are four in the receiver unless the supplied scope base adapter or other suitable base is to be mounted with properly fitting screws. Do not place any thread locker such as LOCTITE into the screw holes in the receiver, as the thread locker can drip into the bolt or receiver and cause potentially dangerous malfunctions.

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 doesnt 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 movement can be detected.

Front sight centered in notch of rear sight slide. Target bulls-eye centered on top of front sight. Note that the rear sight blade can be reversed to give a square notch rear sight picture.
