10/22® RECEIVER DRILLING JIG

10/22® RECEIVER DRILLING JIG Reviews & Ratings

10/22 RECEIVER DILLING JIG

The Brownells Receiver Drilling Jig for Ruger 10/22 allows the user to accurately drill a hole into the rear of the Ruger 10/22 receiver. This drilled hole permits barrel cleaning from the rear without removing the barrel. Cleaning from the rear eliminates accuracy-destroying cleaning rod wear caused by cleaning from the muzzle. The Brownells Receiver Drilling Jig attaches to the right side of the action and locates the correct spot at the rear of 10/22® receivers for drilling. Instructions are included.


Brownells recommends the use of a 0.257” drill or an F letter sized drill

Works Perfectly
This jig works just perfectly as advertised. Follow the detailed directions precisely and you'll have no problems. As mentioned in those instructions, it is actually simplest to use a hand-held drill rather than setting it up in a drill press. The hardenend drill guide in the jig does its job and didn't even show any scratches after using with a brand new cobalt bit. Use a sharp or new bit for a really clean job. For those that are curious, this jig worked perfectly on my Bergara BXR, which is essentially a 10/22 clone.

10/22 drill jig
Very heavy and well made. Make certain to order the #F .257 drill bit as it does not come with one in the box…

So easy a caveman can do it!
Excellent jig that makes this simple modification quick and fool-proof. The "right tool" for the job and cleaning from the breech with a rod makes me much happier than dinking around with pull-throughs.

Don't forget the drill bit
This drill jig works. Got it last week and have used it twice. Don't forget to order a couple "F" (.257) drill bits along with the jig. Mine came with the guide bushing to tight for the F drill to enter let alone run freely. It hones out to size easily using 320 grit wet/dry paper wrapped on an 1/8" drill rod. Tape it in place or catch the paper in the Chuck. Also had to sand the screw threads on the cap screws that go thru the receiver. Didn't want to enlarge the pin holed by forcing them thru. I'd buy it again. It works better than the clearance drilled barrel stub and 5/16 extra long drill I was using.

Saves time, ensures a perfect job!
No measuring, no error, takes only a few minutes to do a top notch job. Drilling a rear access hole allows cleaning from the breech end, all you have to do is drop the trigger group and pull the bolt. (three pins) Another reviewer suggested removing the barrel to clean from the breech, not me thanks ... I don't want steel screws threading in and out of an aluminum receiver any more than is necessary, not to mention the return to zero issues you will have with your sights. Besides that would actually take more time, and you will always have easy access to your torque wrench to properly snug the barrel attachment screws right?

Good product..
I purchased this item not long ago, and I think it's a fine tool. One of my customers requested that I bore a hole in the rear of the receiver so that he may clean his 10/22 barrel from the rear. It works fine, however, you must disassemble the receiver parts to use it. I feel that this would be a valuable item if used on a 10/22 with a match barrel installed, especially a threaded type. A factory barrel can be removed easily for cleaning and would be much eaiser than disassembly of the firearm. I've only used this tool once, however, it's very handy to have when you might need it.

Not for new Rugers
Bolts are too big for the pin holes... Won't bore them out obviously as the pins need to be snug. Complete waste of money, $50 paper weight.
