A silencer
Have a threaded takedown model coming in and I am looking to make a fun rifle for my youngest boys. The dog still needs to hunt though. Any upgrades I may want to look at first?
Thanks a lot Bill. New to the 10/22 so this is going to be fun for the boys and myself. Hoping to get them out this summer and teach them a little more. I would rather them plink with this than my 30's Rem Model 12a.
Going mg to keep irons on it, but it's going to get a Vortex Rimfire 2-7.
I'm looking for a low profile quick disconnect scope mount to fix it up right.
Midway has the VQ hammer I mentioned for $36, the recoil buffer for $10. The auto bolt release is a mod you can do to your gun in a half hour with a dremel, and that's if you've never taken the action apart before... majority of that time will be in disassembly and reassembly. Or you can just buy that part for $11.50.No oil filter for me. I looked up most of those parts and this site showed parts that would turn my cheap plinker into a very expensive rifle I wouldn't want to take out of the safe.

Bill, I have no knowledge on the workings on the 10/22, so I am taking it all in. I know about AR's, not these so every bit of advice and help is appreciated.Midway has the VQ hammer I mentioned for $36, the recoil buffer for $10.

They also have the hammer and the bolt release as a "kit" for $45. I put a scope on mine, not tech sights. Most of that is personal preference, but I have seen and heard good things about the techsights.
The bolt release allows you to just give the bolt a quick tug and let it ride forward, rather than the three-handed trick you have to do to release it without. The new hammer takes the trigger pull from about 8# down to about 2# or so. The recoil buffer just makes it a little quieter and also keeps your bolt from slamming back into the metal pin that's sitting there now. (I figure if you're considering making changes, you should know what they'll do! Please forgive if it sounds like I'm patronizing or otherwise talking down to you, that's not my intention.) The 10/22 is a fun rifle, and I know you'll have a great time teaching your boys to master it. Also, the changes I recommended (other than as noted) are things I've done and would do again if I had another 10/22, without hesitation. Hope that helps you make your decisions.
Blessings
Bill
I put a Kidd Trigger Job Kit and Williams Ace In the Hole Peep Kit on mine. I really like the peeps with the red FO. I've run the gun at a few steel matches with the peep insert removed, for a ghost ring type sight picture.
I seen a rail with sight built in called Ace in the Hole, comes with a raised front sight and the factory rear sight could be removed, and fitted with a plug I bet.I went with the same scope on my take and really like it. The rings I put on it, put the scope too close to the barrel. I lost the take down option due to the rear sight hitting the scope when trying to take down. I'm looking for a low profile quick disconnect scope mount to fix it up right.
Does the front section slide in and out of the factory bag OK with this on?...The Pro-Mag barrel band rail/sling mount is a nice upgrade, too.
