Whats going on with 10/22 bolts?

[u/Academic_Kangaroo157]

Looking to put together a 10/22 but I can't find any bolts for sale. Most places are sold out or have stopped carrying them.

Whats going on that could that could impact the availability? I've never seen this much demand for 10/22 bolts. I know Dlask is shutting down so I guess kidd bolts are unobtainable now?

It's caused by a couple issues.

Most of the bolts in Canada are supplied by Dlask and us. Our bolts are made for us by an OEM in the US and we bring them in. Our last export permit was delayed by months in part due to the government shutdown and that caused delays.

We then sold out that entire run of bolts in a day.

Our next run is much larger and should be ready in about 30 days.

Yall are the great

I just bought one of your bolts last week and I think it's lost in the mail 😭

[u/SpectreBallistics → u/Hot_Cheesecake_905]

It's not likely lost. Probably just Canada post being slow.

If you do think it's lost, email us.

I ended up getting your bolt. It went to Saskatoon, then back to Edmonton, then to Toronto, and finally to my place.

The bolt works great. I like the design and look of it more than some other aftermarket bolts I've previously purchased. Any plans for a silver coloured bolt?

[u/SpectreBallistics → u/Hot_Cheesecake_905]

No, we don't have any plans for other color options currently. It's really a function over form decision. The nitride finish is really good for longevity. I have about 20k+ rounds though a single bolt and it still looks new.

Think I got mine just before you ran out, glad I didn’t procrastinate more! Also got a last barrel of one of the Shaw models from nine35 today too, slim pickings for 10/22 parts out there right now.

[u/Hotdog_Broth]

Dlask is winding down operations and has just been selling off whatever they have left for a while now, so that certainly doesn’t help with availability.

[u/Tamination → u/Hotdog_Broth]

I don't like hearing that.

[u/DougMacRay617 → u/Hotdog_Broth]

I thought they were already donezo

[u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 → u/DougMacRay617]

They're selling off remaining stock.

[u/Deep-Lingonberry1900 → u/Hot_Cheesecake_905]

Are they? They just recently restocked their 25 round magazines. 200+ of them.

I have a feeling the order for the TUF-22 magazines were placed a long time ago… Several retailers finally got their shipments last week.

As for closing: https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/threads/is-dlask-still-in-business.2551756/

[u/Hotdog_Broth → u/Hot_Cheesecake_905]

They’ve already had at least two orders of the mags come in well after they began retiring. One back in September and then this more recent one.

[u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 → u/Hotdog_Broth]

As a side note, I picked up several TUF-22 mags a few weeks ago. I find them to be quite fussy and fragile, and a bit "over-engineered." They should have just cloned the BX-25 mags. Hopefully someone comes out with a super reliable 10/22 high capacity magazine for Canada one day.

Part out the cheapest 10/22 you can buy new. I always come out a few bucks ahead selling the other parts vs buying just the oem bolt.

[u/banditkeith]

I've been trying to find just a stock Ruger bolt for over a year and had no luck

[u/PteSoupSandwich → u/banditkeith]

There's one on GunPost right meow

[u/Armedfist → u/banditkeith]

Pm me if you want a stock bolt

[u/holyverbs]

I had the same problem, there's absolutely none in stock anywhere. I got lucky today and picked up a used Ruger bolt the 50 bucks locally

[u/Dramatic-Primary-916 → u/holyverbs]

The reason there is no 10/22 bolts in the market A company is buying all the Used bolts to make a moving weight to stop bolr bounce. And they are going for $750.00 .and they can not keep them in stock. That is the reason I belive.
