Sorry to hear that. I know that they're swamped with orders, and will probably be shipping soon. Maybe you could contact them and post their response.

I just received an email from Karen @ Tech Sights to inform me my sights will ship on Tuesday


UPDATE: 07/10/07

My order arrived today, installation was quick and easy.
Karen included a complimentary front sight adjustment tool due to the shipping delay.

Great sights and excellent customer service

absolutely, that is why i went out and bought a Erma Werke E M1 .22 M1 Carbine lookalike cheap on ammo. M1 Carbine ammo is almost in the stratosphere in my region went into my gunsmiths shop $25 a box and i bitched when it was $14 a box. next .22 will be a Sig Mosquito as a companion for my Sig P226 at the range

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.

I'm not clear on this part. Can you better explain how you mounted the scope? The TechSights rear sight base appears to use the factory rear holes normally used for a scope mount on the 10/22? What mount did you use and did you have to modify it?

Can you use the Techsights through the scope or is your scope mounted "over" the iron sights?

I explainrd it poorly. Right now, it's one or the other. I'm considering work-arounds that will allow the use of both.

Ah, I gotcha. Shame that the Techsight doesn't extend their rear sight all the way forward and use picatinny or weaver rail in front of the sight. With quick detach rings, it would be easy to switch back and forth.

I realize that staying within the theme of this thread, this isn't the most practical setup but it is cool as hell!

I was a big fan of the 10/22 platform way before .308 ammo got crazy expensive. Although it does not follow the incredible post that started this thread, here is my favorite .22 blaster that was dubbed "The Pebble":

A note to ponder: I just returned from one of the 14 Appleseeds that took place over the weekend of April 19-20. I have a L.T.R, actually it's been like that since early last year. It is such a great tool for getting down the positions, sight picture etc. etc.

One thing I wanted to mention for all those who are planning on, or will be converting your 10/22 to a practice rifle; you must continue to dry fire your MBR. If you have your LTR set up like me then its spot on in sling length, sights and stock length to directly mimic your M1A.

But, one thing I just want to put the light on for is to make sure you are working with that heavy beast as well. Unless you add weight to your LTR, you will not be ready for your M14/M1a 's weight when you go back to it.

Dry fire and exercise with the big guy, practice shooting with the small guy.

Just a heads up.

Frst of all, congratulations on attending an Appleseed. The more posters that have attended and have seen first-hand the great benefits of doing so, the better for all. I hope that you, as well as other attendees will post about your experiences.

As for dry-firing with your "main" rifle, and remaining familiar with its individual characteristics, that is sage advice. The shooter should still fire the Main rifle as often as circumstances permit, preferably practicing at distance. That will help also. The Trainer is a good training aid, but is not a perfect substitute.

What's a good stock that would work with the current irons? I really don't like the stock it comes with. The curve is in the wrong spot and I can barely get down far enough to see the irons. It's really annoying. Anybody make something reasonable? Does the hogue one work well?

I cut the OEM stock to the same LOP/angle as an A1 buttstock, and fitted a grind it yourself buttplate. Pretty pleased how it came out,

I've noticed the Tech front sight post is a LOT thinner than an A1, and may install an A2 post from my junk box.
How hard is the rear sight to take apart? Just drift out the roll pin on the right?

A Marlin 795 or 60 can also be used in the same context (making a LTR) for training as the Ruger 10/22 - and they are even cheaper to purchase (new or used) than the Ruger.

Tech sights can be purchased for them, as well. With sling, swivel, sights, and the new rifle, the Marlin setup is well under $200.




Also, most folks with experience on both platforms point out the fact that the Marlins are more accurate out of the box.

I have a 10/22 with the Tech sights on it. However, my local range has been do some work on the facility so it has been closed. As soon as it is reopened off I go with the 10/22 to get it sighted in.

Ok, I have some old tech sights, but lost the screws like a dumbass. Anyone know what I can use as a replacement?

Great thread
I had my 10/22 w/ tech sights out this weekend, I call it my mini garand. I practiced shooting prone with a loop sling, and had a great time.
