In an attempt to narrow the path the bolt takes inside the receiver ( side to side) people used to put some sort of tape inside the receiver.
This was supposed to aid in keeping the bolt face and firing pin in the same spot and be consistent in firing which was supposed to improve accuracy. Since the bolt is mechanically centered by feeding the round and the extractor running up the cut, iI dont think that it can improve the centering of the bolt face much, but who knows, maybe it helps it feed cleaner ?
Most after market bolts are fatter than most oem bolts , perhaps this is why?

If its intact, id leave it in there, if its peeling off id remove it and scrub the receivef smooth with scotch brite pads .
If it is a CPC d receiver , its trued , so i doubt if another receiver is going to improve much. Maybe the next improvement would to get a rear tang and a stock that takes a rear tang , like the Victor Titan. , or the KRG Bravo. And really get that receiver locked in to the stock With 2 action screws.

Thanks for the response.
Yes, but not a ton better. It shot pretty good when I got it. Just kind of wanted the bull barrel and the bore scope showed some pretty big machine stutters in the Ruger barrel. It shot good enough, better than me but I bought it to be a project gun, just something to fool with.

 

A Charger Receiver, is an exact copy of the Regular Receiver. I've got both, and can't tell the differance.

 

One is allowed to be a pistol or rifle and the other can only be a rifle. This is a Non political statement.

 

The smoothest receiver receiver is the one from Feddersen.

It's extremely shiny in person though and you may not like it-- had mine beadblasted.

Your bolt will feel like they're with bearings, no exaggeration.

Paired mine with a Kidd bolt. It was my 1st build and never bothered with a Ruger receiver, which is known for its interior roughness, misaligned holes, and puny paint job.

 

Thanks for the response.
Smooth is what I'm after. Is yours the aluminum one or the nickel alloy ?

 

May want to look at the CST receiver too. They have an optional rear tang and you can get it in silver (it is aluminum). I think it is a small operation, so they are frequently sold out. But you can call them to find out when the next production run will be.

Thanks for the response. I'm green at all this and haven't even heard of some of these outfits.

 

Most aftermarket receivers are made of 6061 T-6 aluminum.
I prefer 7075 T-6 which is what mil-spec AR-15s are made of. It is about twice as strong.

I made my customs out of AMT stainless steel receivers, in the old day. Then I used MOA stainless steel receivers and then Kingston Armory steel receivers. If you look around, there are some manufacturers that use 7075 T-6 aluminum. That would be my first choice with stainless steel after that.

 

Thanks, looking around is what I'm up to.

 

Spoke to soon about Feddersen, they called today and we have the ball rolling on one of their Nickel Alloy receivers.

 

Part-Time at 72 you're just warming up for more builds. Let us know how the nickel receiver is.

 

Late, don't sell yourself or the 10/22 short. Building these things is addictive, reasonably priced and fun. Hang out here and you'll catch the bug. I'm a few years older and usually have a build going or being planned.

 

You can always have the receiver bead blasted and then do a refinish like Cerocoat or send off for anodizing. I have 2 rifles with rear tang and really don't think it helps much in accuracy but a good tight fitting stock is a must.
Long time ago I used to have Hess 1022 and really should had kick my own butt for selling it. It had stainless everything and was threaded. If I can find it I pay to get it back.

 

If I knew how to post a picture I would. Think the nickel alloy(stainless steel) looks great with the Lilja barrel. To make things even better it seems to be doing well with my cheap ammo.

 

The anticipation builds. UPS has the receiver and it's on it's way. Went from Athens TN to Nashville. Get a kick out of tracking the part and seeing all the places it goes before it winds up out here in Spokane WA. I imagine most of you are far more mature than me but I'm kind of like a 7 year old watching for Santa's sleigh before he goes to bed on Christmas eve. In this case a boxy brown sleigh.

 

I got it! I shot it! Pretty muchly all good so far. I got a Nickel Alloy model that was a blem and is not listed on their website. It's basically stainless and matches up with my heavy Lilja barrel very well. I had a buddy with me that had almost no experience with guns of any kind so didn't get time to shoot all the groups I wanted to. It did seem to prefer Norma TAC-22 over CCI SV. I have a Kidd bolt and charging handle and a Timney Calvin Elite trigger. About the only negative I can think of is the mags didn't drop as well as they did with the Ruger receiver. Having some reset issues with the Timney trigger. Was having the same problem with the Ruger receiver before I swapped it out. Contacted Timney and we will see what they come up with. So far pretty pleased with it, only have a couple hundred rounds through it and I think it's going to be a nice addition to the gun. Are the groups tighter? Can't say at this point, it shot pretty well before I made the change.

 

Use 15 rd mags or get the system that you can connect 2 10rd mag together which is what I prefer. As for Timney trigger not resetting, check to make sure you have clearance on the bottom of shoe . sounds like you have move forward and maybe slightly upwards. I have 2 set of these great triggers.

I have 2 of the connectors that you can put 3 10rd magazines on and they still don't drop like they did with the Ruger receiver, I'll get that figured out. I have 2 other Timney triggers that are great. I think this one just got past QC somehow or another. Like I said the fit of the holes in the trigger did not align that well with the receiver right off the git go. Talked with Timney today and they are setting up so I can return it and they will have a look at it. It's all good.

 

So I have been out to the range a couple of times now and things are really smoothing out with the new Fedderson receiver. I took a Dremel tool and some jeweler rouge to the inner face of the receiver and now the mags are dropping smoothly. The trigger reset was my fault, had the shoe adjusted too close to the trigger guard. The Fedderson receiver and the Lilja barrel seem to be a happy pair. Can't do it every time but have some nice 5 shot groups at 50 yards I can cover with a dime. I mainly shoot RWS Target Rifle and TAC-22. Will spend money on the rifles but am pretty cheap when it comes to ammo. Now I am starting to think about a chassis.

 

Click on the paperclip icon and upload the picture. It's fairly easy to do so.

 

Actually had trouble getting pictures off the phone and on to the computer where I can find them. Got it going for now.

 

Looks good!
