10/22 22 Magnum

I know of one of these for sale. Anything I should look for as these rifles have had their problems.

no problems at all, I would jump on one if I could find one.

Check if it's a single or double extractor model. Remove the inside extractor and replace the outer with the volquartsen extractor. Put a bolt buffer in it and you're good to go.

I regret selling mine. They do bring top dollar these days.

I have a single extractor model and I really like it. I did some reading when I was looking for one and IIRC the double extractor models created more problems than they solved. I had the bolt worked by Randy at CPC (you can find him at Rimfire Central) and he put in a new extractor and firing pin. Works great. I have not had any problems but I seldom fire more than 10-12 rounds at a time and I religiously swab the chamber after each use, that's where the problem is supposed to be. It now wears a Whistle Pig barrel and Hogue Overmolded stock and will hold minute-of-turtle to at least a hundred yards. Good luck, I hope you find a good one and enjoy it as much as I have!
