Title: New Ruger 10/22 Takedown with Allen instead of slotted bolt?
Post by: Whippet on August 16, 2013, 12:35:56 AM
Hello All,

I just received my replacement 10/22 Takedown from Ruger and the bolt holding the rifle into the stock is an allen bolt where i had always had a slotted. Just an FYI

could you report which size allen key is required?  I'd like to make sure I've got one in my "Appleseed Rifle Toolbox"

It is a #4. I wonder if this is on all new 10/22s? My takedown is fresh from the factory as a replacement for a defective rifle.

I replaced my slotted takedown screws on the regular 10-22's within a week of buying the rifles.  They are now allen heads ordered online from MidWayUSA.
