May sound silly, but you know that there is a bolt lock built in to the trigger assembly right? It's a small flat piece of metal that toggles back and forth to lock the bolt back.
To clarify, you must push up on bolt release located just in front of trigger guard to release bolt. Most people put in after market bolt release to allow automatic release.
What a dumbass I am....Thanks for the all the help everyone.
Not being familer with the 10/22 I didn't know about the bolt release. But I do now !

Outstanding! Certainly not a dumbass, mighty small little piece and very easy to miss! What I loved about this thread is that I didn't know there was a way to make it a auto release, now I do! Amazon, 10.99 and will be here tomorrow. Also grabed an extended magazine release for it for 6.39.
I don't know why Ruger continues to produce 10/22's with these release bolt buttons, but I couldn't have removed this thing fast enough with my dremel.
Same thing. Had it done about 30 mins after I got home with the rifle from the shop I bought it from. Definitely an outdated piece of "technology" that they need to change.
