Try this order: Check your mag to be sure its not worn and that its clean. Borrow somebody elses if needed.
Clean the chamber well, if dirty it could be causing the shell to stick ever so slightly after firing which causes the stovepipe. Be sure to clean the groove for the extractor as well, not likely the problem but always a treasure trove of gunk.
Try cleaning and oiling the spring for the bolt. Sometimes they get a little crud at the front of them and its hard to see unless you put it on the bench and force it back.
Save your money, the Volquartsen extractor wont help you in this situation. In fact, the extractor does nothing as long as the gun fires, it only does something if you pull back the bolt to remove a unfired round. Dont believe me? Just remove the extractor and fire the gun, it will kick out the shells just fine and likely jam just as often.
Switch ammo, its possable you got some ammo thats too slow to cycle the action well. .22s are picky on ammo, if you cant get a gun clean and working properly, switch ammo. Usually the cheap, bulk pack ammo is some of the best for a gun like the 10/22 since bulk pack tends to be fast stuff. It is dirty stuff though.
The reason your gun is jamming is because the bolt is not moving fast enough or far enough back in order to kick the spent shell clear of the port before the bolt heads back home. It catches the spent shell because of that and jams.
As mentioned, Rimfirecentral has TONS of information.
