| I'd like to build a 10/22 but don't want to buy a factory gun and throw half of it in a parts drawer. I also don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the receiver. I like NoDakSpuds upper with piccatiny rails are they a good product? Does anyone sell Ruger receivers stripped or a similar product so I can build from the bottom up? Volksquatsen(?) is out of my price range. |
Sure they do. Just never in stock.

Volksquatsen(?) is out of my price range. Factory receivers typically sell for $70 plus shipping ($10?) plus FFL transfer fee ($25?). Add the cost of the bolt ($30) and trigger group ($50) and you're up to $185 plus or minus a bit. If you start with a carbine you can get $50 to $75 back by selling the stock and barrel. |
| More important, is there any benefit to going with an aftermarket receiver over the stock Ruger ones? I've seen a couple that have a hole in the back of the receiver that make it possible to use a cleaning rod from breech to bore, but I hardly think that's worth the extra $100+ |

It's easy to drill your own cleaning rod hole with a ΒΌ" drill bit if you want to but most use one of the pull through cleaning systems like the Otis & BoreSnake. |
