BRN-22® BOLT ASSEMBLY Reviews & Ratings

After completing a 10/22 build using a Brownells railed receiver, Green Mountain bull barrel, a Hogue over molded stock & a spare Timney trigger (from a previous build) I tried to use / install a new Ruger OEM bolt assy. It just wouldn't fit right and wouldn't slide without major resistance. When Brownells offered their new bolt assy. I ordered one. Dropped in with little or no effort (except for pulling the charging handle all the way back) and it slides freely like it should. A couple of days after I placed my order I noticed the bolt assy. went on sale (before my order was received) so I called Brownells customer service and they were kind enough to refund me the difference in price ($20). I can always count on Brownells to offer great service, competitive prices and a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. That's what keeps me coming back for my firearm parts, cleaning supplies and ammo. Great company to do business with. I very much appreciate that and will continue to do business with Brownells.

Truly a high performance, accurate bolt assembly. This bolt is designed and manufactured to much higher standards than the OEM unit. It rivals the quality of those offered at two or three times the price. A definite "must have" for serious target competition.

I originally used a Ruger OEM bolt. It caused considerable binding when I put it in a BRN-22TD receiver with a Timney trigger pack. It was completely inoperable. I sent the receiver back to Brownells thinking that there was an issue with the inner diameter of the receiver. When Brownells brought out their new 10/22 bolt, I decided to give it a try. Brownells sent back my receiver to me and their bolt works fantastically. Turns out that my issue was with the Ruger OEM bolt. My advice is to spend the extra money for the Brownells bolt, which is of much higher quality. Also, the customer service at Brownells and the FFL department was great.

I was experiencing serious binding issues in my BRN-22 build with a new, factory Ruger 10/22 bolt. At first, it seemed like it was related to the bolt handle because the severity lessened somewhat when I swapped out the extended Volquartsen handle/recoil rod assembly for a standard Ruger assembly. The binding continued and was bad enough to make me regret ever having attempted to build a high-end 10/22 from scratch. A week later, this Brownells bolt appeared as a new product and I took a chance despite the price tag... IT FITS PERFECTLY and GLIDES SMOOTHLY. Im very pleased with the fit & finish and even more relieved to have salvaged a registered receiver I had almost given up on! Definite buy.

Looks good,feels good. Waiting for the rest of my parts to put it all together.

Fits the factory Ruger receiver after some light sanding. But would not fit the Brownells receiver at all. Luckily I had another 10/22 to swap parts with.

The bolt arrived when promised. It is finished very nicely. I got the gold TiN color. My build is not completed yet, so I have not used the bolt in my Brownell's receiver. I cannot speak to the reliability, hence the 4 star review. I'll update when I utilize it.

Very well build and work great.

seems adequate for my 10/22 build, would like to upgrade to a Kidd bolt assembly one day...

The bolt itself is really nice but, it doesn't feed poly coated subs very well in a Ruger receiver. But it feeds them fine if it's in a Brownells receiver.
