Looking for 10/22 stock that takes AR buffer tube

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Looking for 10/22 stock that takes AR buffer tube

Posted: 6/1/2017 9:05:28 PM EDT

Ok here is the game plan: buying a charger, I want to put it in a chassis that takes an AR buffer tube so I can mount a shockwave brace to it I've seen several chassis setup like that but I need to be sure I can swap the tube out for the shockwaves tube.

Bonus if it folds

Got some more pics of what you did? What adapter is that?

PMACA has several types that take AR buffer tubes. This is one with a long rifle FF tube on it.

This has a built in tube but I think you can use any AR butt stock on it.

Credit: AJ_Dual for being the first to get this working with an SB15 and for helping me with a parts list and ideas.

Wacha guys think? Still have to modify the forend to fit on the takedown barrel.

Credit: AJ_Dual - He did this years ago with an SB15 and gave me a long write up on how to do this.

Parts list:

Ruger Charger Takedown cut and threaded to 4.5"
Blackhawk! Axiom charger stock
Double star Standard Folding Mechanism (FSM) (W/Boss)
Double Star CAR 15 Stock Adapter (W/Boss)
Shockwave Blade + Dimpled tube (Skidtactical.com ;) )

Remember, you have to buy the charger version, not the rifle.

Once I set the shockwave blade to the same LOP as my AR-15 (2 clicks out on AR stock), the back of the shockwave blade was just 1" shorter off the end of the 4.5" barrel. So if you're short on money, a non-takedown version would be good enough. Then if you have a can, you can just thread it on. Plus, you would not have the hassle of having to modify the forend to fit the takedown barrel.

I honestly did a bad job with this. JB weld is oozing (cleaned a bit up), plastic is not pretty in some spots, forend still needs some brain work for a working design. But, it's amazing, quiet and might just be my new favorite gun!

That is pretty slick.

Strike force stock may work looked at one in person and I'll have to make small mods but it does fold so that's sweet

MDT LSS 10/22 Chassis They also sell a Folding Stock Adapter for use with the LSS.

That's a nice build Engineer, I have the same chassis with a Hogue grip and a 8" taper threaded barrel. I've had the Charger in several different configurations and just can't get it quite like I want it. The Hogue grip and factory GI just seem to be at a bit too much of an angle for me. I was curious about your grip and barrel setup. The grip doesn't appear to be at quite the same angle as standard GI/AR, was this modified by you or just different standards of a manufacturer? I couldn't find a threaded barrel anywhere to come out to the perfect length to fit the chassis as does yours. Did you cut down a .920 or standard barrel for that? Tactical Solutions used to make a 6" threaded lightweight .920 barrel, but has been discontinued for several years now. I'd love to run across one of those!

Thanks for the compliments!

The grip is a Griffin Armament A3. It's more vertical than the old A1 grip and handles much nicer than the Hogue I had on previously. Doesn't quite integrate as well with the gap filler but I'll take function over form.

The barrel is a KIDD 6" pistol barrel. It's not lightweight, but the weight is bearable since it's only 6" long. If you are looking for a lighter weight barrel, Beyer makes a 6" ultralight target barrel that is threaded.

What hand guard is that and how did you mod it to work with the PMACA chassis. I have been wanting to do something just like that. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

It's a Nordic Components small diameter AR22 handguard. It needs notched on the end closest to the action so that it slides back farther into the chassis. I did it with a mill, but a determined guy could take care of it with a bandsaw, hacksaw, or dremel.

Nicely done. Also have a PMACA. What folding hinge and buttplate is on that tube?

I would buy this. It is a DEAL!

How is the cheek weld with those sights on the PMACA chassis. I have one and would like to use sights like that, but I am afraid they will be too low.
