The Ruger 10/22 sounds awesome with price, reliability, and all the available mods, but I want something more compact like the Henry AR-7 Survival rifle; but I hear it's a hit or miss whether you get a good or bad one.

The chamber needs a very slight chamfer on the receiving end so the bullet does not hang up while being fed from the magazine on the sharp corner. I used a .30 FMJ bullet dipped in lapping compound and slowly and gently twisted it on the chamber, slowly and a little at a time. I would work the chamfer job then reassemble the rifle and go in the back and test fire a full magazine, 8 rounds, in my fire barrel. I repeated this process until the rifle did not jam any more EXTREME care must be taken not to chamfer too much, you will wreck the accuracy if you do. It works now and never jams and the accuracy was not effected.

i sat on this piece of iron sexy today at the HD dealer.
