kentjo Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I have a transferrable 10/22 that was manufactured by a company in Utah that has never worked and of course they went out of business right after it was purchased. Looking for gunsmith that can get it up and running if possible. I have reached out to John Norrell but have not heard back but wondered who else is good at that platform. Thanks, Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPFiveO Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Most of the C2's that converted 10/22's are either out of business or dead. Johh Norrell would be my first choice of smith. Don't give up on contacting him first. I've found that a phone call works a lot better than an email in most cases. Besides, I'd want to actually talk to the person anyway instead of through correspondence. Save the correspondence for the instructions included with the item you want repaired. S&H Arms might be another good choice. I don't recall if they did any 10/22's back in day but Curtis is very knowledgeable. It might help us to know exactly what you have. Is it a registered receiver, a trigger pack, a sear conversion? Is it an open bolt or closed bolt conversion? An open bolt conversion would be much more simple and reliable. But, if it's a TEK type sear conversion then that will complicate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMGunslinger Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I've worked on several hundred 10/22 machine guns over the years and as far as I know there isn't really anyone else who messes with them in any serious capacity. The Norrell packs or S&H sears are more intense to deal with. Registered receiver guns aren't as bad unless you are wanting closed bolt specifically. That's why I designed an open bolt setup over a decade ago for people with registered receiver guns to make them good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentjo Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 The story on this one is a friend of mine bought it from a dealer in Ogden, Utah over 20 years ago. They purchased it from a dealer in Kaysville, Utah called International Firearms who went out of business right after that. He could never get it running so it sat in his safe all this time until I did a Form 4 and transferred it to me to deal with. I am sure it is a closed bolt as the bolt is slightly modified with an area to trip the sear but other than it is looks like a regular bolt. The lever on the trigger pack is loose and moves freely and the hammer cannot be released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentjo Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 No markings on the trigger pack just on the side of the receiver with manufacturers information and serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the answer to your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMGunslinger Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Easiest and most reliable thing to do is open bolt it then, let me know if you need help with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Is the receiver a stainless AMT 25/22? If so, look inside the receiver and see if the top looks like it has been milled smooth rather than rough like the cast finish on the outside. He would mill the top to true the inside for better cycling. Can you post some photos from the top of the trigger pack and the bottom of the bolt? It may help ID it if it is a Norrell pack. Many years ago John N would install his sear packs in registered receivers. But I was told he ran out of sears some time (long) ago and would no longer to this service. The rear of the bolt should have an anti bounce weight that moves back and forth on 2 pins. The front left of the trigger pack should have a plunger (about 1/8" dia) on a spring in the pack. There should be a "leg" for lack of a better term of the sear sticking up about the middle of the pack. If he knows it is his pack, he may work on it BUT I am not sure if he is taking ANY work at this time. He may have retired from the gunsmith business. He had some ads up on the NFA board, did you check the phone number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentjo Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 Yes it is an AMT gun. I actually spoke to John and it is not one of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
