Ruger 10/22 lock back on last round

Carefully following the directions of Ron Power of Power Custom, the Power Match Bolt is truly a match quality component and is an excellent upgrade over the mass produced MIM "cast" factory bolts. They are CNC quality bolts designed to be light weight to cycle standard velocity match ammunition, include a Power Custom titanium firing pin and extractor, have a cross pin installed for precise firing pin strikes, and have a tight tolerance .0425" headspace. They are 4-axis CNC machined with precise geometric tolerances from hardened 416 stainless steel for a lifetime of use. The firing pin and extractor are pre-installed, allowing drop-in installation of the bolt, (uses factory or factory compatible aftermarket charging handle). Compatible with any 10/22* receiver or clone that accepts factory bolts.

The Power Custom Match Bolt incorporates unique features that allow the CST 2nd Gen Auto Bolt Stop to function, (factory bolts and all other aftermarket varieties do not have the correct design features).  Although Power Match Bolts are sold individually and are fully compatible with factory configured 10/22's*, they are designed with correct clearances and a special pocket along the bottom, both features allowing the function of the new CST 2nd Gen Auto Bolt Stop providing a last shot hold open feature. With or without the CST 2nd Gen Auto Bolt Stop, the Power Match Bolt is finding it’s way more and more into the winning circle in rimfire competitions, providing an exceptional improvement in accuracy.

The 2nd Generation CST Auto Bolt Stop is available as a kit including the Power Match Bolt, a 10% savings over purchasing the items separately!

 The CST Auto Bolt Stop holds the bolt open on the last shot and will function in either aluminum or polymer trigger housings, and will function in Ruger's* take-down model 10/22*.  The unique "passive activation" design will automatically stop the bolt unless a loaded magazine is in battery.  Once a loaded magazine is inserted, the bolt is simply pulled fully rearward and released to load a cartridge into the chamber, much like "automatic bolt releases".  A manual bolt release tab is located by the magazine release to close the bolt on an empty chamber.  Bolt locks, "automatic bolt releases", and the ejector are removed from the trigger assembly upon installation of the CST Auto Bolt Stop.  Installation instructions are provided and does not require any permanent modifications to the rifle.

Somewhere I believe I read of a modification (?) to make a standard Ruger 10/22 bolt lock open after firing the last round, am I all wet or is there such a thing? And would someone please tell me where I would find such info?
Thanks,
Danny

I think some have tried or maybe succeeded in doing it. Maybe go over to Rimfirecentral and go to the Ruger 10/22 subforum. Lots of info there. I'm sure someone must have posted about how to do it.

For the expense, I just can't see the need for one. Ruger has a firing pin stop, so there's no need to worry about dry firing. If it's just so you know when you're empty, you're going to know that when it goes click.
The bolt release modification is another story, Ruger should have been doing that at the factory.

Thanks TRAP but I'll have to pass! I got in the habit of counting my shots years ago but this is for the wife...she doesn't count her shots!

Interestingly enough the Winchester Wildcat uses similar magazines that do lock back after the last round. Now that you brought this up I'm going to test the Winchester magazine on my 10/22 and vice versa. If the snow ever stops. I know you can use the 10/22 magazines in the Wildcat but I don't know if they lock the bolt back. I'll post the results.

If you took the Winchester magazine empty, put it in the Ruger and cycled the bolt back by hand would that tell you?
The other question I suppose would be, will the Winchester magazine feed the Ruger?

I searched You Tube and found nothing. The only thing I found on Rimfire Central is how exasperating it is, They require me to solve a "puzzle" before allowing me to complete my search, the problem with that is part of the danged puzzle was blocked.
I and grateful to all of you for your suggestions.

I know of and have done the "auto" bolt release, but I've not seen the bolt lock open after firing the last round mod.

I think most of us have done the auto bolt release. Lots of videos on that mod. Maybe bamajoey can chin in on how to do the last shot open mod. In post #8 he posted he has done it.

I mis-read your question and was thinking bolt-release modification...apologies.

Does 10/22 have last round hold open?

with the POWER MATCH 10/22* BOLT A last shot bolt hold open function eliminates the need to “count your shots”, the final discharge will have a distinctive sound and recoil impulse that will immediately relay that your rifle is empty. The magazine can be removed and reinserted with the bolt remaining locked open.

What does auto bolt release do Ruger 10 22?

Enables the shooter to simply pull the bolt back slightly to release it. This eliminates the need to push up on the bolt lock mechanism to release the bolt. This is an easy drop-in installation.

How many rounds can a Ruger 10/22 take?

The Ruger 10/22 is a series of semi-automatic rifles produced by American firearm manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., chambered for the . 22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge. It uses a patented 10-round rotary magazine, though higher capacity box magazines are also available.
