Ugggh... the 10/22 is a disease

[slacker]

So last night I decided that I need another 10/22 for some reason (maybe it was the vodka, who knows)

Anyways, I posted a WTB thread here and at 2:00 today I picked up a nice virgin 10/22 from a member here (Glock34).

Then the real fun (and money spending started)

On order:
Stock(s) (could not decide, so I bought both, I will return / sell the one I don't use... or maybe I need another 10/22....)
Boyd's SS Evolution stock (Blue)
Revolution Yukon Stock (Blue)

Barrel:
ER Shaw 10/22 18" stainless Straight Fluted - 22LR

Action:
Volquartsen target hammer
Yellow Jacket bolt buffer
Volquartsen auto-bolt release
Extended magazine release


Now I just need to decide what to do about optics. I love my mueller APV that I have on my other 10/22, but I have a red-dot mounted on it right now to see how it looks and I kind of like it.

Maybe I will stick with a red-dot and make it a FNS gun

Nice! The 10/22 is great and you now have RRD (ruger rifle disease) which is similar to BRD...

 

[Joe Williams]

Sounds to me like you are a perfect candidate for one of these

Sorry, the new desk reference has the 10/22 as a BRD now. The defining difference is a recognition of rule #3 in BRD: any rifle that you can spend 4x as much on accessories than the original firearm not including optics, and 99% of those changes just to make it look more evil...

Welcome

Slacker, welcome to the world of Rugeritis, Meds are on Wed, but there is no known cure. I have 12 of the 10/22 in various configurations, a 77/22 and recently acquired a 96/22. I replace the bolt buffer immediately and make my own extended mag release. I just can't pass up a 10/22 made before 2008. After that they have a plastic trigger housing and barrel band. I have one set up for FNS with the same red-dot that you have in the picture. If you go with the High cap mags only use the Butler Creek with steel lips ot Tactical Innovation mags. This will give you a lot less headaches. Let me know when you want to break them in and if the weather cooperates I can bring along lots of steel targets that I have made up for .22's.

You guys'll be the death of me.. I've got a perfectly fine 10/22 that now needs to get souped up for some reason..

Want to sell it ? I just can't help myself!

I am excited for some warmer weather. My parts should be coming in this week, so I can build next weekend and go shooting as soon as it is a little warmer out

Symptom #1

You know you've got it bad when you start buying hammers, recoil buffers, and mag releases for guns you don't have YET!

Been there, done that!

Do you need a nice custom (Tuck) painted stock or two? They have barreled actions in them and I'm pretty proud of them!

 

[G McBride]

You are not alone with the RRD. I have the Yukon Extreme Stock, Rimfire Technologies Quantum Threaded Barrel, R/T trigger group, Mueller APV scope, fox buffer. That covers one rifle.

 

[Simon6101]

very nice

DRob has some very nice 10/22's. The Guy that paints the stocks he has is the best on the market.

Not to hijack the thread but how do make a mag release?

 

[Clay]

I just wish I could find someone to sell me a decent used 10-22! everyone (but me) has one, and no one wants to get rid of them!

 

[DRob]

One way

Not to hijack the thread but how do make a mag release?

I don't know how Simon6101 does his but I have seen guys make them by drilling an appropriately sized hole into the bottom of the factory release and epoxying the steel bolt stop into the hole. The bolt stop pin, of course, had been replaced with an aftermarket recoil buffer.

[cop car]

mine is stock and is staying that way.

i had a scope on it but i didnt like it

 

[jfw46544]

This is the first rifle I bought in 1976. Still have it but getting the fever to buy another one just to upgrade. Damn, I am getting the fever!

 

[anthony010]

look nice. had to put my 10/22 in my in laws gun safe too many things out there for customization. I know the feeling.

 

[fullauto 45]

I have several of the 10/22's. Love them. Bought a stainless last year for the grandson. He'll be 13 this year, so I can take him out shooting. His mom said he had to be that old.?? I have dressed them up, put on suppressors and big scopes. Still have my first one from back in the early 70's.

 

[imprimis5]

I was just looking at them last night. It's become rather apparent that I'm going to have to one or twelve myself.

I used an empty 22LR case epoxied on a 10/32 stainless bolt. Lock tite it in to the hole I drilled and tapped in the old mag release.
