Was cleaning the 10/22 this morning after having not really shot it enough to clean it for a while.
Naturally, because this thing is like a jigsaw puzzle that requires 3 hands to disassemble and reassemble and it had been a while, damned if I didn't start to wiggle the bolt carrier out and whoosh parts shot all the way across the basement.
Found the guide rod. No sign of the spring.
I feel like Bill Ruger sat around 40 years and thought to himself, "motherfvckers, I'll make sure you remember me every time you clean this rifle" and then let out a Dr. Evil laugh.
What a love/hate relationship with this rifle.
