Showerthought: I just hit 50 of the same exact repair on a particular model of .22
It was a Ruger 10/22, the one with the plastic trigger housing. Every single one had the same problem, a cracked housing right at the rear takedown screw. I started keeping a tally on a sticky note stuck to my bench light. Hit number 50 yesterday. It's wild because you don't think of a .22 as something that gets a lot of serious wear, but this one design flaw just keeps coming back. I've seen them from all over, some guys say it's from over-tightening, others say it's just cheap plastic aging. At this point, I can swap that housing out in under ten minutes with my eyes closed. Has anyone else seen this specific failure point become this common, or is it just my shop's weird luck?

Fifty is a lot, but calling it a "design flaw" seems like a stretch for a cheap plinker.
