10/22 BOLT LOCK??

QuietMike · Post by **QuietMike** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 7:22 am

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DROP-IN PART OR DIY MOD THAT WILL LOCK THE BOLT CLOSED ON A 10/22 ALLOWING SINGLE SHOT FIRE BUT WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH SEMI AUTO WHEN NEEDED?

Your thumb.

Get a magnet and shape to fit the ejection port - pull out to charge and slap on the bolt to lock it closed.

Link to discussion.

BTW, you really need to get that sticky CAPS LOCK key unstuck.

Ok, got to ACE or equivalent
buy these

take your hot glue gun and create this

Looks like this in use.

Stuck on the barrel while you recharge.

I used a dime for the handle as it is shiny and ease to find you can glue the magnets to wood or plastic - whatever makes you happy

15 min job after you buy the magnets - stick acouple - three in my case in the ejection port onto the bolt so it can't move put hot glue on them add handle add more hot glue - remove and add a bit of hot glue to joints from back - your done.

Here's the paracord loop I use, just run another loop around your supporting hand fingers, works fine.

Looks good if you have two hands available.

It's definitely field expedient.

I only use the thing when there's plenty of time to be sure everything's just right with the shot. Using an automatic as a bolt action works in a pinch, but it's not nearly as reliable as the true bolt gun.

Hmm, think I'll fire up the milling machine...gotta idea.

I need to come up with a lock for my Ruger Mark II pistol as I'm still thumbing that one. We await your milling frenzy results.

The device , uses the crosspin in the trigger assembly
to lock the device into position, just like when used
as a hold open situation. (which it can still be used to do).
If you can make it out in my (bad) picture. a small
addition of metal to the activating lever is added,
this is needed to give you something extra to get ahold
of. (to set the device)
I used JB-Weld to add a piece of metal to it , later finding it was a pain in the xxs , and changed to a small
nut and bolt inserted in a predrilled hole.
THIS ADDED after the weapon was completely reassembled.

does anyone sell a comercially modified bolt hold open/close? I could try modifying mine, but would much rather buy one ready made...

Hey Nam, I have made the mod to my bolt lock-am currently blueprinting it so i can make one out of a little better steel. Will post the print when I'm done with it

Someone was selling these at the creek in 2005. They looked like 1/8" aluminum cut to fit the opening, and they had a 90-degree handle. Just need to find some thick aluminum and shape it. Then make a 1/2" cut on the end, and bend up one leg 90-degrees.
