I'd seen that too. Closer inspection its part # 14, likely damaged on install by ruger or bass pro with that rotary lock... on the fence about contacting ruger or just putting an aftermarket trigger in itNot seen it myself, but another older thread here said they had to increase the trigger pull weight adjustment to prevent it from sticking.
RPR trigger problem
After finally getting my RPR to shoot with a Green Mountain barrel I have a new issue: sticky trigger release blade, part number 17 When I cycle the bolt into firing position, the "trigger release" blade locate inside the trigger is hanging up. i.e. it is sticky. I have cleaned the trigger...www.snipershide.com

I have one and it is a significant improvement. I have had some issues with follow down after installing it but I think that is caused by the bolt not the trigger.
Yes it would not cause a discharge but it would require a recock of the bolt. Seemed to be worse after about 100rds from a clean rifle.
My smith worked on it and got it going. I attributed it to bad engagement between the bolt and trigger pack. I do not feel like it was a problem with the trigger pack, just the lack of QC in some of the bolt machining.
Do any of you know how to tell if you have a Gen 1 or gen 2 rimfire? I noticed the instructions for the trigger say to use the shim for gen 1 but I wasn't sure how to tell what I have..
Looked there but it doesn't specify anything on the generation. The model number matches current, for sale, model numbers but unsure if they would change the model number with each generation?
It does say "still in production", but again not sure if the Gen 1 would say "out of production" or not?
that has nothing of value other than a number to call
Got a question, has anyone been shooting CCI Standard Speed rounds in their RPRR, and if so, how did they shoot.
Seems we have a bunch, that has been collected over the past few years. While they shoot well in Brenda's American, and Anschutz P64, it would be nice to use them to shoot for fun.

They did well in my RPRR with the factory barrel a few years back; so well that I stocked up on CCI SV's that I still have a lot today. I swapped the factory barrel out for a Shaw match barrel and they did even better. While they don't do as well has those like Lapua Midas or Eley Tenex, the SV's are my go to practice rounds. Yes, I'd say they're a good cartridge to use when shooting for fun.
Interestingly, to me anyway, a few years back I was curious how they'd perform in cold weather, so I tested them against Lapua Center X and Federal Ultra Match in temperature bellow 40°F. The CCI SV's performed better at the lower temperature and these others while these others performed better at the higher summer like temperatures.
I bought one and have this issue from the start. I worked with Alex from their customer service to try and figure it out but we weren't unable to so, I'm sending it in, he's gonna try it on their rifle to see if he can recreate the issue.
If your bolt is dropping upon bolt closure, I suspect that your trigger is out of adjustment. Triggers in the RPRR and CZ457 are childishly simple to both adjust and modify. The first sear is from an RPRR and the second is from a CZ457. But... I was only willing to tolerate an RPR for a few of weeks. Then I went through three 457's. Then a V22 went through thousands of rounds of SK yellow, red, Center-X and Midas plus. Let's me say...NFG! The Bergara steel barrel B14R seemed to be the best value and outshot them all. Thats right.... even while at Lapua, clamped into a fixture, my hand shot B14R outshot the V22. The V22 has beautiful
machining throughout, but my primary concern is accuracy. One of my most accurate guns is an old Walther UIT Super. Date code IA.
The target shows a five shot group in the lower right corner. Paper fibers are supporting the un-shot cartridge.
I suggest you look into, and consider older, quality guns. I just refinished two of these Walther UIT BV's. Though the UIT BV
is an older rifle, if you were to have issues with its black cam plate or firing pin, you will never find an easier design to work
on or remanufactured.
Off to the dentist.......... grrrr.
