Another thing is that releasing the bolt on the 10/22 from the locked open position requires an awkward motion to push up and backward on the bolt lock mechanism, so the auto-release feature would be an improvement.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a design for the 10/22® 50th Anniversary Design Contest.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Official Contest Rules, the grand prize winner will receive a production version of their rifle design, a trip to the Newport, NH plant to watch the production run, and $5,000 worth of Ruger® product. The remaining nine finalists will each receive a Ruger® firearm of their choice.
Congratulations, Gary!
