Next weekend we get to go visit my brother and his family. The cousins all like to play together, and so do my bro and I. We'll take a range trip. I cleaned and oiled everything today. When you haven't done the monthly cleanings you should, it adds up to a lot of work!
I didn't find a lot on removing the rear sight on a Ruger 10 22 rifle online, and I had to replace mine as it was broken. One forum mentioned these are not robust sights and the guy growing up had to replace his 2-3 times a year when they hunted for small game.
All it takes is a hammer, a nail set and little fear. I padded a vise and carefully tightened it down to keep from marring the barrel, then set to work with the hammer and nail set. It did come out, with more application of force than I'd figured. The hard part was setting the new one carefully into place, as I naturally didn't want to break that. If it's not perfect, it's close.
I also got around to cleaning the 10 22 rotary magazine. Mine had jammed and wasn't working properly. A video helped out.
While I'm at it, I'm going to post this one for when I want to pull and clean the bolt.
Also for reference, full field strip (Replaced the defunct video on 01/25/2014 with a working one. And I cleaned today):
I haven't yet been brave enough to pull the trigger group, but it looks easy, and my bolt could probably use cleaning.
