First time builder
Bolt was mated with a Brownells receiver and factory Ruger barrel and trigger housing assembly. Bolt and receiver function as they should. Fit and finish is excellent.

Nice replacement without all of the tooling marks like the OEM
It comes complete with extractor and firing pin and spring.
TOP NOTCH QUALITY
I am extremely pleased and impressed by the quality of my recent “10/22” bolt purchase from “Brownells.”
I opted for the Black bolt and it is machined, coated and made of top quality material. I also purchased a replacement charging handle/recoil spring assembly.
I completed my 10/22 “Refresh” with a RUGER spec Deluxe Sporter walnut replacement stock.
As mentioned previously, I am extremely pleased and truly appreciate Brownells’ product line. Top Notch Quality.

10-22 bolt
Very well-made. It is not machined to keep the firing pin from lifting. I shouldn’t have assumed that this common modification was part of it, but that’s not Brownell’s fault.
Stainless Steel bolt
Well made, improvements to the original 10/22 Ruger bolt… provide smooth operation and installation…. Great product!
Works great
Works great very fast shipping and customer service is fantastic, so great to deal with.

Excellent 10/22 Bolt
The Brownells' BRN-22 Bolt Assembly has a slick nitride finish and the CNC work is very nice. I did have a bit of an issue with the extractor binding (due to a bur) that I had to work out by actuating the extractor by hand a hundred times or so and now it is operating smoothly. Nice upgrade to the OEM bolt and works perfectly in the Brownells' BRN-22 receiver.
