Their .22 target pistol Mark I through III were famously difficult. You needed a wooden dowel and a rubber mallet. Ridiculous. The Mark IV comes apart with the push of a button. That's when I bought one.
The 10/22 needs a screwdriver, punches, a hammer, and some cussing to strip and reassemble. And you can't clean it from the breech end. I clean as seldom as possible.
I'm not a bit surprised that another of their guns is tough to maintain.
