Red and tacky on rifle bolts. Hmmm.
Less parts on the semi. Dbl Hmm.
Think he said they already have the 1022.
Great real world advise on here.

I'd look at the CZ lol.
Spose depends what using it for.

I am not judging you on the choice of American rimfire over 10/22 , the bolt is less ammunition sensitive since you hand cycle it , but I wouldn't go simpler or fewer parts the 10/22 manual shows 54 parts and the Ruger American rimfire 62 parts

Huh, I never woulda thought that a 10/22 would have less moving parts than a bolt action.

but only dry lube on the 10/22

WD-40 specialist dry lube or Hornady One Shot cleaner and dry lube

with dry lube you can run a 10/22 from sauna temps and humidity to so cold you need to keep the mag in your pocket till you want to use it or you will get hang fires and weak ignition.
because it is a strait blow back action it dumps carbon into the action , carbon sticks to the oil and forms a sludge more oil makes sludge faster
people generally like to over oil , and especially when they start having issues they want to spray it full of oil and run it like a MaDuce , but 22lr isn't 50bmg.

it works for a short time in a 10/22 until the solvent evaporates then you have the same issue.

The red and tacky is to work it into the machining marks in the Ruger American rim fire bolt and when you work it back and forth a bunch the 2 surfaces take on what lube they can then slide nice on each other. you wipe off all you can with a dry rag once you have cycled it around 100 times.
you are only placing the Red n tacky on the bolt body not the face or getting any in the chamber. Think of it almost like you would use a lapping compound but all you are really doing is lubricating the finish wear that will happen by cycling the bolt that many times.

new 10/22s get taken apart and cleaned with the dry lube the bolt , op rod , receiver and trigger group, don't trust any of the optics mount screws with out your own application of lock tight and torque to spec , the action screw get to 20-25 inch pounds at 30 you start crushing wood fiber.
I pull the Ruger sling swivels and epoxy in the uncle mikes style so that I can easily attach the 1 1/4 inch cotton GI web slings.

I also modify the bolt lock with a round chainsaw file you can find videos on how to do it or buy pre modified ones , this lets you lock it back but pull back on the bolt and let it ride home on a round without manipulating the bolt lock.

when you are running a transition drill transition from standing to prone or seated , your mag has to start on the mat , your getting to a goal of sub 6 seconds to round on target and of course a good hit. so not needing 2 hands to do bolt manipulations is a benefit and once you run one like that you will want them all to run like that.
why transition drills standing to prone, stage 3 of the AQT is transition from standing to prone simulated or actual distance 300 yards depending on the course you are on.
on simulated distance you also have 4 target acquisitions you on the fire command drop , load , acquire target 1 fire 2 two rounds , reload re acquire target 1 a second time and fire one round , then acquire target 2 and fire 3 rounds then acquire target 3 and fire 4 rounds , you have 65 seconds.

stage 2 is the same but seated or kneeling on a simulated or actual 200 yard target in 55 seconds.

what does this train? getting in a good stable shooting position fast and making the shot.
it is a great way to train a bunch of people at one time on a typical flat range.
