Looking for a new stock for my 10/22. It's a regular barrel, standard model that I've had cut back to 16" and threaded for a can. I'm ordering a set of Nodak irons to use along with a PSA micro dot.
This is not a target gun and will probably never be fired from a bench. It's strictly a walkabout plinker/pest control/camp gun. I definately want something with a pistol grip and I'd like a collapsible/adjustable LOP stock. I like a shorter LOP and it will also be shot extensively by my wife and young son. I'd like it to be as light weight as possible. I don't want to spend a ton and I don't really want one of those "drop in your 10/22 to make it look like something else" things. Free floating the barrel would be cool but not absolutely necessary. Suggestions? |

Not much out there. Tapco, ATI, and Choate are the ones I know of that make adjustable stocks.
I like the Choate: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/220824/choate-5-position-collapsible-rifle-stock-with-pistol-grip-ruger-10-22-standard-barrel-channel-synthetic-black |

http://www.eabco.com/m1_carbine_ruger_1022_tribute.htm ETA: I missed the pistol grip requirement, still worth taking a look at. |

another option out there at this time, is an aluminum chassis. A KitFox Defense chassis is being delivered today. Interesting concept that got my attention. No affiliation with the company.
+ light weight + AR pistol grip + AR buffer tube / M4 style stock - initial buy in could be spendy, unless you have some spare AR parts lying about doing nothing |
|
Just a note: One of the reasons this "chassis" is on my radar. I have a Mossberg MVP (bolt gun) that will be residing in a LSS chassis by MDT.

Black Hawk Axiom is another. It is very light and the grip is close to the trigger for smaller hands (kids).

I have a Choate folder for one of my 10/22s. It feels good with the pistol grip and folds down to a compact package. The folder locks up tight as well. The issue I have with it is the flimsy flexible forearm area/barrel channel. There is a noticeable accuracy degradation switching from the cheapo Ruger wood stock to the Choate folder. Is it worth it??? Depends entirely on what you plan to do with it.

+1 On the Archangel kit. I had seen these forever and always thought they were crap. Then I held one. Then I bought 3.
Very good quality. |

They are all back ordered and I can't find another available online. I am very leery of buying something on back order if the supplier isn't well established. They have a product that would be very marketable. |

I've talked to Dustin at Kit Fox Defense and the actual manufacturer of that chassis is thinking about doing a Takedown version, but hasn't messed with a Takedown so he doesn't know what would be involved to redesign it. I suggest others that are interested contract them and express their desire for a Takedown version. |

Any other suggestions? Again, I want a collapsible stock with pistol grip.

No one mentioned the Nordic Components chassis...same as the factory Ruger SR22 uses. I have one on my standard 10-22 and love the fact that it basically turns the handguard, buttstock, and grip selection into anything that fits most any AR15. I was told that breaking down the 10-22 for a serious cleaning would require disturbing the upper and therefore the optic. Mine allows the removal of the entire upper w/barrel by removing just the single main action screw and the two front chassis screws. I like it because it mimics in most ways an AR15.

+1 on the Archangel.
I was worried at first about putting an optic on a polymer chassis, but so far, it's been rock solid, and the feel of it is just like an AR, which is why I bought it in the first place. Granted, the Nordic would probably be nicer, but I only have around $300 in the gun as it is now, and that includes a cheapo optic and steel BUIS. |

Here's one that is an UNDERFOLDER It is an AK type with an Hogue AR grip. https://underfoldstocks.com/uploads/Slider/c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b/1368555771-main.jpg?1427311253041 View Quote The all black Bull barrel version looks amazing. Sort of has the silhouette of a pump shotgun or something from a Bourne film. |

I not know that I could comfortably use the sights or a scope with that. |
