Ruger Gunsite Scout AKA GSR

[KimberMan]

I was wondering if anybody has one of these and if they have had any problems because I had some yesterday at the range. I only had enough time to pop off 50 rounds and here are some of the issues I encountered.

First: the very first round in the mag when fully loaded wouldn't "catch" on the bolt unless you really and i mean really forced it.

Second: the bolt wont always lift all the way up for extraction.

Third: the magazine blew into 3 pieces after 25-30 rounds (I was able to put it back together)

Fourth: part of the magazine well/trigger guard broke and this is what it looks like when trying to load. (see picture)

any help would be great.

Ruger has pretty good customer service. I'd give them a call after the holidays.

Sounds like you've got a lemon... Contact Ruger with your issues, and send it back.

I also vote with contacting Ruger, although it sounds like it was a magazine issue, not necessarily a rifle issue, at least to start out with. (obviously now that the mag well is broke, that will cause problems....)

I called ruger in NH and they are sending me a new mag well/trigger guard. as for the magazine I did some research and found a better replacement, http://www.alphaindmfg.com/products.html‎

Are you running the original metal magazine or the later polymer mags?

[KimberMan]

Yes it is the stock Accurate Mag.
