Besides the before-mentioned problems with the Ruger Hornet there is another common problem with them. It's their two piece bolt. On some there's enough slack between the two pieces that they don't lock up real good. I saw a fix for that on some web site. It had to do with disassembling the bolt and placing a spacer between the two to tighten things up. It makes real tack drivers out of the ones with this problem. I think I saw that fix on one of the links on Varmint Al's Favorite Links Page. If you look there you may find a way to fix your Hornet. If you can't find it there, any bona fide real good gunsmith may have heard of that fix and could do it quite easily. It would cost next to nothing to put a spacer in there. Good luck!
