Ruger 10/22 and 17 HM2 Warnings
Ruger 10/22
and 17 HM2 Safety Warnings
written approx 2008, use as a resource only
We are sorry to
announce that our 17 HM2 Conversion Kits have been discontinued due to
the lack of availability of good quality ammunition. This article is presented for educational, informational, and historical purposes only. |
Warning to Left Handed Shooters:Shooting the Ruger 10/22 left handed, with or without a 17 HM2 conversion installed, exposes your eyes, face, and body to any debris, ejected shell casings, ammo or mechanical failure resulting in case ruptures or explosions that exit the gun from the ejection port. Shoot left handed at your own risk. If you cannot accept this responsibility, return whatever 10/22 product you purchased from us within 10 days for a refund or credit. If you keep it past 10 days, you accept responsibility for your own safety by default. Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Warning About Safe 10/22 Scope Mounting:Be sure all receiver holes are plugged either with scope mounting screws or plug screws. Remember any gases or debris that exits the receiver will find its way through an open scope mount hole and follow the scope mount back to your face and eyes. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection. Warning About 17HM2 Brass Cracks and Ruptures: Cracks may be visible in fired 17HM2 cases. This is not
unique to 10/22 conversions but also appears in 17HM2 bolt
guns, etc. An unnamed source at Hornady said they were aware
of this and had done tests that showed it did not effect
accuracy or performance. Apparently the cases cannot be
annealed during the manufacturing process. Always wear
safety glasses and hearing protection.
