Is there a way to keep the bolt from cycling on the 10/22 – i.e. a single shot mode?
Thinking there might be a way to tether or block the charging handle. |

He are some ideas, the first link is to someone who makes a device but apparently no longer answers emails. The second link is to a magnetic doodad.

The previous poster already alluded to the easiest thing to do. |

nada, what is the purpose of your wanting single-shot mode without the bolt cycling?
If safety, the simple answer is to single-load the magazine. If low noise with a suppressor, the simple answer is a bolt-action rifle. If something else, I'm very interested in knowing. I think there is risk in trying to force the 10/22 to do something it wasn't designed to do. No jerry-rigged mechanism to hold the bolt closed will work as well as the locking lugs on a bolt-action. |

if you want manual cycling only, and you don't mind spending some money, PWS makes the T3 receiver, which is a toggle-lever 10/22 action.

There are also things like this: 
Personally, I run a soft buffer, and it's not all that much quieter, shooting subs, to let the action cycle. |

While not a big fan of the 10/22, I find those PWS rifles/actions sexy as hell. |

I bought a basket case of a Springfield Model 87 (7-vent) that I plan on fixing up and threading.
It has the ability to be locked closed by simply pressing the bolt handle in. I've seen one done that way and it's as quiet as a bolt action. The real plus is it fires shorts and LR.

I thought about that, but was not sure what force was needed, and if injury would occur. Quoted:

You can hold the bolt closed with your thumb to keep it from cycling I thought about that, but was not sure what force was needed, and if injury would occur. It feels like a flick. Once you realize that at 10ft, with a rubber buffer, the difference in peak sound between semi and bolt is indistinguishable, you'll stop worrying about it 
The biggest difference is just the sound coming through your cheekbone as the action cycles.
