If you're smart and/or thrifty, read on.
If you're not too bright, or wasteful, stop now. As posted in a couple of other threads, this info is provided for those individuals who wish to use a slightly modified 10-22 as a stand-in trainer (at 25M) for their .30 cal. MBRS, and those who wish to save some SERIOUS money. This is NOT a tack-driving Match rifle, but neither does it cost Match rifle prices. It is plenty accurate to do its' intended job, with the bonus of needing a lot less cleaning than Match-chambered 10-22s. Note that the 10-22, with Tech Sights closely mimics the manual-of-arms of the M1A, and is still close to that of the Garand. Most importantly, the sight picture is identical to that of the M1A, M1, AR, and FAL. Mods are drop-in, so gunsmithing is zero. This rifle also makes a great starter rifle when introducing someone to shooting. The more shooters out there, the more people to stand up for the RKBA right? It's also a great loaner. If someone's rifle croaks, or they forget something essential, just hand them the 10-22 and some ammo. Problem solved. Some folks may question the 25M training distance. This distance was formerly called the 'Thousand Inch" range, and was used by the US military for decades as a primary training range, with .22LR, back when marksmanship was emphasized. Everything learned on the 25m range WILL translate directly when shooting at longer ranges. The secret is to simply reduce the size of the target. A 1" square at 25M represents the same MOA as a 4" square at 100M. If you usually shoot a FAL, AR, or other rifle that has a pistol grip, may I suggest a Butler Creek stainless steel aftermarket folder stock? Before you buy the BC, try the standard Ruger synthetic stock. Studies have shown that basic marksmanship, sight picture, and trigger feel/pull are way more important than the stock configuration. Still, if you must have a pistol grip, the BS is one sturdy unit, and reasonably priced. Put a length of grey closed-cell foam pipe insulation over the metal part of the buttstock to make things easier on your cheek. First of all, you should shoot your stock 10-22 a good bit to make sure there are no problems present that would require you to send the thing back for warranty service. DO NOT modify your rifle until you are certain that it runs properly. Use the OEM mags while doing this, maybe trying out some others. Very likely there will be no problems, but in doing all this shooting you should be trying out as many different types of ammo as possible to see which one(s) your rifle prefers. I have had good luck with CCI Blaser ammo, and a post on www.rimfirecentral.com ranks it highly in terms of consistency. No telling what your rifle will like. I urge you to not succumb to the idea of instantly accessorizing the rifle. You will be spending money blindly without a good idea of what you, and your rifle, really need. Most likely, unless you are a good shooter (can consistently shoot groups an inch or under at 25M from prone, NOT benched), the rifle will shoot better, AS-IS, than you can, assuming you find an ammo it likes. Keep in mind that many aftermarket barrels are Match-chambered, which will prove to be problematic with some types of ammo, and WILL require frequent cleaning, especially of the chamber. Ruger says to clean after 50 rds on their Match-chambered bull-barreled version, else functioning and accuracy problems will crop up. I would expect the same of other Match-chambered barrels. Another fact to keep in mind when purchasing a 10-22 is that ALL standard 10-22 component parts are available directly from Ruger (save, of course, the FFL-only receiver). NOT SO the Ruger Match 10-22s. Some parts are factory-fitted only, so consider this when planning your purchase. Your rifle will like some aftermarket mags, and dislike others. I have used Butler Creek Steel Lips 25-rd mags with no problems. YMMV. Anything longer will be problematic in prone position. Hopefully your rifle will like a mag that fits some mfr's mag-loading device. These little contraptions are worth their weight in gold in time saved and fumbling avoided. The less time spent on chores like loading mags, the more spent on important stuff, like training. You should get one if only to avoid lead contamination on your fingers. Don't laugh--I know of a couple long-time lead bullet, indoor shooters who were diagnosed with incipient lead poisoning. If all aftermarket mags fail, a couple of OEM Ruger 10-rd mags clipped together bottom-to-bottom with a device made by E&L Manufacturing will always prove utterly reliable. Whatever you do, do this. This will prove to be your "can't fail" mag assy. Some folks use only this set-up. Have a glance at this thread (which started this whole concept):www.rwva.org/yabbse/index.php?topic=1149.0 (you might have to register to view). It contains all the info on 10-22 mods you are likely to need, unless you really want a dedicated Match rifle (most likely you don't). While you're at it, look at www.appleseedinfo.org/smf. These are the Appleseed folks you might have heard about, and on the site can be found very detailed and full instructions on becoming a Rifleman. Frankly, there are lots of people who pay good money to learn what these folks offer for free on their site, and I STRONGLY urge you (and others) to read, practice, and learn. What with the current ammo shortage, a LOT of folks are turning up at Appleseeds with .22s. FWIW, I use my 10-22 (slightly modified-- maybe $60 total, exclusive of mags and loader) for about 75% of my training, with a once-a-month MBR workout at distance. HUGE savings on ammo cost, and wear and tear on my MBRs. What you learn at 25M works out perfectly at 200M and beyond. BTDT, and it WORKS! Fundamentals work out at both 25M and 500M. I made Rifleman (229/250) with it after practicing A LOT, and no reason why you or anyone else can't do the same. FYI, sighting-in your 10-22 at 25M means you are also sighted-in at 100M. Cool, Huh? Folks, why waste scarce and expensive 7.62 ammo when the same training (and learning) can be done with a .22LR at 25 M? You can do most all of your training for less than you can reload, for heaven's sake! The Tech-sights are definitely the way to go for any iron-sighted 10-22 or SKS. Mostly I use a 1-3X Weaver scope I bought for $10 at a flea market. When the Scout scope mount for the 10-22 becomes available later this year, then I will switch over to that. I use a GI web sling, as my 10-22 is set up as a training stand-in for my MBRs which also use a GI sling. I simply bought a 1-1/4" QD sling swivel kit made by Uncle Mike's which has both machine-screw and wood-screw type studs. Your kit may differ if you have a different stock. The GI web sling is inexpensive and very versatile, being useable in all shooting positions with a minimum of fuss, bother, and expense. You want either the cotton M1 sling, or better still, the nylon M-14 sling. Both have quick-detach hooks on the butt end of the sling. On the fore-end of my synthetic-stocked 10-22, I used a machine-screw threaded stud, washer, and nylock nut due to the thin plastic of the fore-end. On a presumeably thicker wooden fore-end, a wood-screw type stud would be fine assuming that enough wood was available for acceptable thread engagement, and that the screw was not too long so as to hit the barrel. You can trim the screw, but I would not use a wood-type screw whose thread's engagement were 1/2" or less. If the fore-end of the stock is really thin, use a machine-screw stud, big washer, and nylock nut. On the buttstock of either model of stock a wood-type screw will do, although it is a good idea to pack a bit of epoxy plumber's putty around the portion of the screw which protrudes into the interior of the synthetic stock both to reinforce the screw's exposed threads and thus enhancing its' grip, and also to prevent the screw tip from puncturing the baggies containing the goodies stored within the hollow stock. The buttplate on the Ruger stocks is glued on; just carefully pry it off (using a couple of wide-bladed screwdrivers) to access inside of stock. More on this below. What I did to my OEM SS synthetic stocked Ruger 10-22: Recall that my goal was to create an acceptable stand-in for my MBRs which I could use for 25M training at much reduced ammo expense, with no gunsmithing, and at the least overall cost. YMMV. 1) Installed Volquartsen Hammer kit plus extended mag release. Note that there some issues ( Volquartsen trigger return spring, IIRC-- use OEM Ruger for complete reliability) with the above kit that are discussed in the link provided above. I installed as per advice in link, and no problems. The trigger is clean, crisp, and has a pull weight very close to that of my MBRs (whose triggers have also been cleaned up and reduced a bit in pull weight). Exactly what I wanted. 2)Installed auto-bolt release. Saves a LOT of fumbling, and helps replicate the MBR. Wish there was an auto bolt hold-open device that was reliable, sturdy, and didn't require either special or modified mags, but maybe someday... 3) Installed 1-1/4" sling swivels and studs as mentioned above, plus GI web sling. Again, this was to replicate the set-up on the MBRs. 4)Seperated glued-on OEM buttplate (still use it, just now it's unglued) from stock so I could stuff the hollow stock with baggied spare parts (bought a few firing pins, extractors, and various other springs and etc. from Ruger), plus an emergency, modified M-16 cleaning kit. The rifle now has, self-contained, anything it is likely to ever need to repair it in the unlikely event that it malfunctions. A little weight in the butt shifts the Center of Balance to the rear, making the whole assembly a tad "livelier" feeling. I could have re-secured the OEM buttplate with SS screws, but as I wanted a bit longer Length Of Pull, I installed a Pachmayr slip-on buttpad to both lengthen the LOP and secure the OEM buttplate. I used a .45 ACP shell to cut out a nice, round, tear-free hole in the slip-on butt pad for the sling stud which would otherwise have been covered by the slip-on buttpad. 5)While breaking-in, ammo evaluating, and practicing last winter (yes, I shot outdoors during Jan and Feb; I knew I had to practice for the upcoming Appleseed), I noticed that the OEM bolt handle was way too small for gloved or mittened hands. Solution was/is to buy a bolt handle assy for a 12-22 MAGNUM rifle from Ruger, and swap out just the handle part whilst keeping all other 10-22LR parts unaltered. A fairly simple job, but pay attention in keeping the various parts separate. You want to use the 10-22Mag bolt handle ONLY, while retaining the 10-22 rod and spring. Result works flawlessly and is closer to MBR size than was the OEM part. Works great with bare hands and/or gloves, and is close to the MiA/M1 bolt handle. 6) Installed TechSights iron sights on the rifle. Simply the ONLY way to go. Front sight accepts all AR-style posts, and the rear base with stock A1 AR-style aperture will accept any AR-style flip apertute and is also configurable to suit the operator. Mimics the OEM sight picture on the AR/M1/M1A/FAL, and is of top-notch quality. Installed on-hand conventional scope and rings, plus QD cheek riser to compensate for height of scope over OEM iron sights. 7) Installed RamLine vented rear handguard over barrel. Nothing functional here, but it does look better and the operator's hand cannot contact a potentially hot barrel. 8) Last but not least. I shot a brick through the rifle as de-lubed as possible and without cleaning. After complete teardown, I carefully filed/sanded/stoned any high spots I could find on the reciprocating and static parts that showed wear/rubbing/interferance marks, and also filed/sanded/stoned/ relieved any other areas that I could find that seemed to have any rough surfaces that might affect function.. Whole "smoothing-out" process might have taken a half hour from beginning of tear-down to re-assembled state. Just a few spots to touch up, and I was done. YMMV. Mostly used a fine sanding disc on a Dremel, and a couple of fine jeweler's files. If you don't have such, some fine sandpaper will do. 9) To-do list: Butler Creek SS folding stock to replicate AR/FAL pistol grip configuration, and Scout scoping the rifle when SS mount becomes available. Now I realize that all this seems a bit much, but most of the mods were drop-in, and the rest very straightforward. Remember, though, that I wanted a stand-in trainer for my MBRs that had the feel and functioning that the MBRs had. Insofar as technically possible, I have succeeded, and my tweaked 10-22 has, since purchased, not only paid for itself but also all other accessory purchases in ammo costs saved. I am now on the plus side of the equation, with NO training foregone, and wear and tear on my MBRS much reduced, to say nothing of the savings on now expensive .308 ammo. Your purposes may be different, and so your tweaks and mods may be different. Good luck, and please remember to read the links I gave above FULLY. Addendum: It's now July, and everything I said above has still proven true. This is a good deal, guys, IF YOU'RE SMART. I have come to think of the Boresnake as a nearly ideal cleaning device for the 10-22. Easy, cheap, simple and no damage to the critical muzzle. Oh, one other thing: My failure to max out the Appleseed I attended was my fault, and in NO way that of the rifle, ammo used, or any of the tweaks I had done. YMMV. Disclaimer: NO financial interest in any of the companies mentioned above. I don't own any stock in them, and have never gotten any free samples from anyone. |

With the price of ammo what it is I am using my 22's more then I have in a long time.
|
|
This is a great Idea. I dont' have a peep sight for my 10/22 but I still shoot open sights out to 200 yards on steel with mine and don't have any problems other than having to hold over some. .22 is a great way to practice marksmanship when ammo prices get high...
CMS |
|
I have peep sites on one of my 10/22s and the view is basically the same as an AR-15. They are a great addition if you can get some. |
|
|
Why not just use a Ceiner kit in your AR-15?
You can't get a 10/22 for less than $139, and with a conversion kit you're practicing with the same weapon. |
|
Not everyone has an AR. Even if they do, sometimes the Rate of Twist of the .223 barrel and the fact that the .22LR bullet is slightly undersized in the .223 bore can raise problems-- not always, and even then not always severe problems, but it does happen on occasion. Some folks (and some ARs) do quite well with them. OTOH, some don't. All the Ciener kits will go "bang"; it's just a question of the level of accuracy that the combination yields, and is that level sufficient to keep the bullets within 1" @ 25M. If your Ciener-equipped AR will do that, then fine. If not, then that's a problem in a training rifle. Nothing against Ciener kits, I have two, bought long ago. Another reason is that people whose main rifle is an M1A or Garand find the 10-22 to be very similar in handling and operation, more so than an AR. |
|
|
I'm so used to being the AR sections I just assume we're talking AR's. My Ceiner kit shot a penny sized group at 25 yards. Good enough for what I use it to practice for (close quarters/three gun competitions). For long range, I stick to centerfire calibers (I reload, though). |

I would agree. When I first got my Bushmaster, I loaded up on mags, and plenty of ammo. However, it seems I am better off just saving the money for a new rifle, and shoot the .22 I own. There is a fine line, of how much ammo I need/how much ammo I can afford, and typically the cost wins most often. Where do most of you buy your .223 ammo from. I used to get mine through MidwayUSA, got the 55 grain XM193 from them, but the 500 rd. boxes always seem to be on backorder. I will not shoot Wolf, Olymic, ADCOM. Where does everyone else buy there bulk .223 ammo from? |
|
|
Yep. I love to practice with my 10/22 and my CZ bolt rifle. .22s are great training aids.
|

Ding,Ding,Ding...we have a winner! |

Do they make target or heavy barrels for the 10/22 without the "match chamber"? Why does the "match chamber" require more frequent cleaning? I was thinking about building a 10/22 with a tactical solutions barrel.
|
|
I can't answer the first question, but will take a stab at your second. Match chambers are cut to closer tolerances than standard chambers, and are more sensitive to the gunk that .22LR produces. Presumably the rifling in the barrel is of better quality, but it is the chamber that makes the reliability difference, and much, if not all of the accuracy difference. You don't really need a heavy bbl, a Match bbl, or a heavy Match bbl to be able to use the 10-22 for training purposes. All you need is a standard 10-22 that will shoot into an inch at 25M. So save the money spent on a barrel, and put it toward some tweaks that will actually make a difference (outlined in my first post), or some ammo. |
|

For anyone who hasn't "built" a 10/22 trainer yet:
Mine is a used carbine version. I used a US Enfield rear sling swivel with screws for the butt swivel and an M14 front swivel attached with a couple of allen head screws with washers and nuts counter sunk below the level of the barrel channel. This allows me to use a standard 1&1/4" GI web sling. I put the tech sights on it to give me the "big" rifle sight picture and repeatable sight adjustments when loaning it to someone else. I also put one of those cheap plastic butt plate spacers on it to give me another 1&1/2" of stock. It shoots 5/8" 10 shot groups at 25 yds. (sling supported prone) when I do my part and feed it Remington Golden Bullets. Another really good thing about is this. I've got down in that sling supported prone position, adjusted the sling, gotten my NPOA, slipped my finger into the trigger guard and gotten totally freaked out when I couldn't find that safety with my trigger finger. I had to raise my cheek up off the stock and look over the rifle before realizing it wasn't my M1A. It was a funny feeling because I had settled into the M1/M1A frame of mind. Anything that feels that much like the "big" rifle will turn out to be an excellent sub caliber trainer. Try one and you'll see. |

More deer killed with .22 in sho me state than with any other caliber.
|
|
I have 2 10/22s. One with a synthetic stock, and a heavy barrel. My "mini sniper". The other is bone stock.
I'm thinking of making some mods to the standard rifle. Can use a scope mount with the Tech Sites? |
|
Good rifle with just about anything available to upgrade, nothing wrong with a 10/22 stock either. Excellent dhoice in a 22.

How far does a 10.22 shoot flat with regular ammo? Can you shoot pretty flat to 50 or 75 yards?
|
|
.22 rifles and pistol are both good for training purposes, but i just can't justify purchasing a 150$+ firearm I can't kill someone with.
|

How far does a 10.22 shoot flat with regular ammo? Can you shoot pretty flat to 50 or 75 yards? Not very far. If zeroed at 50 yards, mine is 5.5" (5.5 moa) low at 100 yards, and another 34" low at 200 yards.(17moa, plus the original 5.5moa = 22.5 moa). But for 25 yard & 50 yard shooting, it's hard to beat. |

I had a talk with the guy that runs the pistol range I use, he did the Appleseed shoot (twice) to get his patch. I'm gonna dust off my 10/22 and give it a try later this year. As I understand the rules, once you qualify, you can shoot MBR on the kd range. Seems like a real good use of the .22 LR.

My soon to be 11 year old boy loves his 10/22 fitted with the BSA Sweet 22 scope, and looking to add Tapco adjustable stock kit for the 9 year olds use. He is much smaller and cant shoot with the stock set-up of the Ruger. This things holds pretty good as the older one is practicing for Silhouette competition this Oct. This is his second purchase with his own money I might add, as the first purchase took him by surprise and hasn't picked it up again, "for now". It is a 1952 Korean era M1 Garand which says it all. The wife also has fun and is getting accurate with the .22 which is kinda scary if you "guys" know what I mean. Longbow48

I put together a dedicaded .22 from parts i had and used a cmmg .22 convertion kit . It was an old A1 upper and a 1/9 twist but it shoots pretty good , i just shoot drills and practice double taps on steel targets and spinners . At first i had reliablity problems with it till i flipped the gas tube upside down , did it to keep crap out of the action but now it runs 100% .
|

That was too long to read, but........I bought a very nice looking WalMart Special 10-22 for offhand shooting. It wasn't even close to accurate enough for semi serious offhand practice. Reducing the headspace and working on the trigger made little difference. Reliability wasn't very good either.
Now, with a ? Green Mountain ? barrel and offhand stock it is accurate enough, with good match ammo, but I've lost interest. |
|
I'd have to agree with MikeSSS.
I've had a walmart special 10/22 for years. It's inaccurate, not quite 100% reliable, and the Butler Creek mags can get pretty 'finicky' and start malfunctioning after only one year of moderate usage. And DEFINITELY do not leave your Butler Creek mags loaded - the rolling coil springs will fail if you leave one mag loaded for quite a while... One of my mags is absolute crap after leaving it loaded just 6 months. That said - I did recently pick up a CMMG 22 EVOLUTION Conversion unit for my AR-15. The mags on that are great, they work with your AR-15's bolt hold-open, and even the forward assist. When shooting it from my 1:7 twist Sabre Defense upper the accuracy is poor - about on par with the 10/22 box stock wally-world special. About 3" at 25 yards! When shooting it from my 1:12 twist Colt A1 Government upper with triangle handguards - the accuracy is surprising! About 1.25" standing, offhand shooting, no support, at 25 yards! I'm loving it in my A1!!! |
|
I got a 10/22 for offhand shooting. It was not even close to being accurate enough for offhand practice. Not even close.
Six hunderd dollars later it is. |
|
I've been using .22's for practice and warm ups for years. I've also been reloading as a cost saver for centerfire ammunition. I prefer to use .22 versions of my centerfires. They replicate their big brothers in all but recoil. For home use, there is a third option for practice and that's using air guns and wax bullets. I have many air guns that are replicas of my main guns that fire pellets and or bb's. They are not what you'd call inexpensive, on average about $250.00, but they are well made and are accurate. I use them at about 10 meters. The wax bullets I use in revolvers. They use a brass shell that I've enlarged the primer pocket hole slightly to prevent primer set back, 2.2 grains (weight, 3 grains volume) of triple 7 black powder and a wax bullet. Those are spot on at 25 meters but you'll want a good backstop. They are still good out to 10 without the black powder.

i just ordered a citadel m1-22 carbine.
for those not familiar with it, it is an m1 carbine replica with a wood stock that shoots .22lr out of a 10 round magazine. anybody who owns a USGI carbine knows how expensive they are to shoot. it has the same dimensions and heft of the real thing. only negative thing i can see about it is there are several polymer parts. namely the trigger housing, rear and front sights and bayonet lug. but hey, it's under $370 or less if you look hard enough and polymer technology has come a long way. early production models had a few glitches. you can read about this at length on rimfirecentral.com. hopefully mine will be a shooter. range report to follow. |
|
update:
overall the rifle is very nice. wood to metal fit is excellent. if the wood is not walnut it sure could pass for it. it came with two 10 round magazines (polymer). i would reccomend some type of mag loading tool to save your fingers. i put 300 rounds of CCI mini mags through it for break in and sighting in after a good cleaning. not one ftf or fte. it ran great. pretty accurate too. |

Ruger 10/22's are probably one of the most versatile 22's on the market. The options for stocks, mags, and other accessories are endless. Like you said, it gives you an opportunity to practice and not break the bank. Personally, I'm looking for a 10/22 that I can pull out of the stock and drop into a Red Jacket ZK-22 conversion kit. One of my good buddies is doing the same. Has the stock on order from RJF, and even has 4 BX25 mags, and is just waiting for his shipping confirmation before he buys the 10/22. Hoping to get some range time with it when he gets it done.

I stuck a 10/22 in a replica M1 Carbine stock and put the replica flip sight and front "ears" sight on the thing. It looks and feels like the carbine, and unlike the carbine, isn't $1 a round to shoot.
Since the real M1 carbine is my home defense rifle, I consider that a valuable training rifle. |
|
I love the practice you can get from a 10/22 with upgraded sights like Tech SIghts or something similar.
Not to mention the cost savings! Great write up OP, thanks. Here is a youtube video of a similar style of a "Liberty Trainer Rifle" example [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EAanyaOLCk&feature=share&list=UUNJoKDREi6mO24oe7d28Jjg[/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EAanyaOLCk&feature=share&list=UUNJoKDREi6mO24oe7d28Jjg |

Tech Sights are great. Cost almost as much as the Remington 597 I've got them mounted on - but really, both were cheap. Put in a 1.25" swivel and web sling, yeah, dirt cheap practice rifle. Rarely shoot over 50 - until they're all keyholed, there's no point, and practicing holds at 500 is a completely different skillset.
Way too much emphasis on swag in shooting. I shoot my A2 pattern more than any other centerfire. Good habits are perishable and the fundamentals matter more than anything. |
|
The Appleseed program is a first class marksmanship weekend. Any shooter who can't "pass" the 25 m Appleseed test target has lots of room for improvement. Raf is onto something first class.
ACHTUNG Gun Hunters: This means you. That little weekend and maybe 70 bucks was money well spent, and has radically improved my rifle hunts. |
|
If the fore-end of the stock is really thin, use a machine-screw stud, big washer, and nylock nut.
|
|
I can load 9mm cheaper than the going rate of 22 LR these days...
