I picked up the RAR LRT I’ve been playing with the trigger I’m also a gunsmith I’ve polished the sear and I took the factory spring out clipped if down two coils and then stretched the spring abit which has resulted in a 2lbs trigger that has passed multiple drop tests from over head I also removed the blade safety

Thanks for this. I have a Belgium made and the stock is coming loose from the receiver. i assume this is an easy fix once the bolt carrier is removed but I’ve never stripped this gun. Any words of wisdom?

i cut (3) coils and did some sear engagement work. i got 1.5 LBS , pull-weight..... i'm gonna work on my slip-angle and see if i can make it 1LB. EVEN .

Quiero que ablen en español puro inglés yono entiendo nada

Great machines. I used these grinders at many shops. Lots of them in the Windsor Ontario area, at Tool and Mold shops. These machines are great for grinding relief on any cutter, sharpening bottoms, restoring the ball and so much more.

Es un excelente tutorial, yo tuve un rifle Browning .22 auto igual a ese, y si lo dessrmas y no sabes ajustalo se mueve el cañón y es muy incomodo, para eso es el anillo que tiene para ajustar..!! Ya habia visto un tutorial parecido este es una muy buena clase..!! Gracias por compartir..!! Excelente video ..!!

Any accuracy increase potential in truing up the bolt face to the barrel chamber face, both in spacing and in geometry?

The friction inherent in the trigger pivot which is from the roughness of the castings that aren't polished, honed, or shimmed, is what's preventing the sear engagement. I agree, having a trigger that light is not advisable IN THIS CRUDE TRIGGER ASSEMBLY. It's totally fine in a Timney or some other system that's got forged and polished and precise parts in it. This Ruger system can be improved significantly with some file/sanding/cleaning/shimming but that's more in depth than swapping a spring.

Great video sir, thanks for this. I ended up cutting 2 coils off the original spring then adjusting it to where the sear would reset after a partial trigger pull. Ended up a little below 3lbs.

A solution looking for a problem....the original flip up sight is great....no need to replace it....unless it fell off and got lost....

Thanks for sharing this video

Great info, thank,s a lot

Interesting, as usual, John. I find it hard to beat CCI Std Vel and a Tikka T1x. I have shot a lot of groups with that combo and that distance. I can't ever recall shooting average groups of .75". An occasional group, yes, but not an average of the groups. They would be closer to .5 - .6" with some in the .3+ range. Always enjoy your content and analysis(deep, but not too deep). JimE

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for putting this up. That exact same edition is on my wish list.

I realise this video is 3yrs old but why are “action” blocks in the stock and not part of the action?

Good luck lashing down the dog! 😂

Aha, like you I didn’t wear my cheaters and missed that screw at the back. Great video!

I know it probably wouldn’t matter for a 22 but when you dial indicate the OD of the barrel on your lathe is there a way to use something like an extra long pin gauge that’s actually stuck in the chamber and sticking out a bit, then indicate off that pin instead of the outside of the barrel. Is that a thing when chambering on a centerfire rifle? Thanks.

Hey brother I like this video Sir. I owned this gun now for the past 6yrs. It shoots and works GREAT. I love it! Great review and video Sir. You got yourself a new supporter here. I would appreciate support if possible. Thanks again!!!

CRINGE!

thx 4 this very good review

Actually useful info, thank you!

How can I order?

Wow thank you for thiis video, precision ultimate and versatil tool.

Tenho uma dessa mas só que o extrator deu problema

These rifles don't shoot well as they come from the factory. I've seen that in person. It's a shame too, because they are such a nice looking rifle. I was at the LGS a few weeks ago, and saw one of these rifles. I was there to pick up a new CZ 457 American, and compared the 2 rifles side by side. I may have even liked the looks of the Springfield 20/20 even better than the CZ. I wished Springfield would re-think the manufacturing processes of this rifle, and focus more on accuracy. This would be a damn beautiful rifle if it shot well. I don't keep rifles that don't shoot well. Also, you should shoot some 10 shot groups. That shows much more about the rifles potential than 5 shots do. All of my 22lr's will shoot 1/2" 5 shots on command, with just about any ammo. Even with cheap Federal Automatch, American Eagle, and Auguila, to name a few. As an example: My CZ American wasn't shooting extremely well when I first got it, but a tiny bit of bedding work, and removing a little wood, where the barrel was riding on the stock, brought the groups down substantially. No messing with action screw torque bs, just simple mechanics and proper foundation. But, if a guy has to remove a barrel, set the chamber back, and then rechamber to tighter specs, that is far outside the capabilities of most guys here. It should also not have to be done to a new rifle off the shelf. Springfield needs to get their act together.

I have a rifle similar to this one but out of nowhere it stopped feeding the ammunition, sometimes it feeds but it doesn't close completely, could it be a spring? and all cleaning is up to date on the equipment, can anyone help me?

Thank you! RSA.

Thanks!

Thank you for a very informative follow up video. I appreciate the finer points of accuracy that you make. I shoot in NC and I have seen the temperature have an effect on 22 lr ammunition. Can't wait to see your experiment on temperature. Thanks again and keep them coming!!

Hi John, i love your video, your expertise is very cool and beautifull. I learn whith you. Sorry for my english i man french Canadian ( Quebec).

Another good video John and I respect your expertise and knowledge. Like I commented in the part one, it is very disappointing that Springfield couldn't come up with a better product for the price. I have fondled them may times at my local gun shops and they look and feel great. But at that price, the thing should not only look good but should shoot better right out of the box. There are other brands that are more accurate and a better value. I appreciate your honesty and when I hear words like "good enough" and "acceptable" I think it fits the 2020 Rimfire model. Always enjoy your content and knowledge. Keep 'um comin'. JimE

You may as well give that barrel a good lapping too before you do the next video.

Thank you for sharing this rare expertise. Working on a similar vintage rifle that I learned to shoot with in the early 80s and now understand how to bring back into required tolerances.

Nice work 🎩

Great video, I always love to learn something new. I didn't now that about 22lr's ammo.

Thank you. My new Browning SA had a slight wiggle. Now I know how to fix it. Thanks.

Does the 63 shoot rim fire or center fire 22s?

I've got the same issue with the same lot of ammo shooting through three different factory Glock barrels.

I have the compact with over ten thousand rounds and the safety eventually begin flopping around so i removed it, other than having the back sight insert that's adjustable come loose and fly off it's been great and has been super reliable with everything I've thrown at it. No issues without the safety and I've run this thing hard since the day I got it.

Once again, this channel is a combination of learning, integrity, and wisdom. While I have no interest in .22, I found this video enlightening and I couldn’t agree more.

Thanks for the tighting of the ring

Nice job!

Nicely done!

Hi from South Africa. I aquired a Ex Rhodesian/Zimbabwe FN FAL and it had the same issue. I guessed that it was the hinge pin that was worn, however my local Gunsmith took a look at it to check everything, headspace, bore etc and came to the conclusion that most of the movement was at the hinge pin. He manufactured a shim to fit horizontally that the the hinge pin closed down on and that solve the problem. The hook on the hinge pin had the most wear. I would be very interested in those magnet sims of yours. Regards.

After watching your other video about the base of the bullet not fully making contact with the rifling on the sporter chambered Ruger, I wonder if this and other sporter chambered rifles would shoot better using a higher velocity/higher pressure .22, (like SK High Velocity, not Stinger) that might expand that bullet base better possibly improving the expansion, thus improving the rifling contact that may improve accuracy.

Do you think the model 63 rear sight could be fitted to the 317?

Have you ever done any testing to see what the rifle likes? It seems like I here you shooting the same 3 ammo types. A few months ago I tested 20 different 22 lr types in my rar and cz. Cci mini mag was not in the top of the list. Both my rifles shot cci standard velocity and Norma tac 22 very well. In most cases neither rifle liked the expensive stuff. Try shooting a few 5 round groups of each.
