This thread made me want to shoot my two Ruger 10/22's with CCI Quiet ammo in the backyard.
Both of my guns' bolts have been radiused on the back bottom corner, supposedly to make them cawk the hammer with less effort. The recoil springs are originsl, and one is 33 years old while the other is 26 years. Both have seen a lot of use.
But that was still not enough to cycle with CCI Quiet. The empty cases didn't even partially eject; they stayed solidly in the chamber after shooting. that is, until I tipped the rifle to the side and manually worked the bolt charging handle as if I were shooting a straight pull bolt-action rifle.
That worked pretty well.
P.S. With or without my silencer, it worked exactly the same --no cycling, no ejection.
The silencer (AAC Pilot .22lr suppressor) didn't seem to have much effect when I was shooting totally outdoors, but when I shot from inside the garage at the backstop that was out in the backyard, I could tell that it was quieter with the suppressor.
