Alright, i got my SS 10/22 last night and i already ordered an extended mag release. the problem is that when i installed it it was a piece of crap. It sticks and just doesnt look good. Are there any good metal extended mag releases out htere? Second question: Does anyone know where i can buy or find a ruger factory sling? Thanks in advance |

Volsquarten makes a nice one for around 15 bucks, it's metal, in either blue or ss. I'm assuming you got the cheap nylon one? Go to brownells.com They also have some by power custom, and clark which are nice too. you can probably get the sling there too, although it's not a very good one. AIRBORNE |

Just curious: how can it not look right? it's a little hangy down tab thingie. Are you totally repulsed by it, or could it be helped with a little clean up work on the edges and a break-in? What kind of scope did you want? What do you want to shoot at? It's easy to spend more on the scope then you did on the gun. The factory rail cost $5 and is worth about that much. It's fine for a $70 Simmons, but if you are going to spend $150+ on a scope, have someone a high quality mount on the gun for you. |

Cheap 10/22 trick of the day: Take the gun apart, ignore the manual that tells you not to take any part of the trigger group apart, and pull out that crappy plastic mag release. Then take your original mag release button over to your vice and drill and tap a hole for a machine-type allen key screw (blue or stainless, your choice). Other option is to drill a hole and use a short length of 1/4" steel or aluminum rod cut to your preferred length, then epoxied in place in the hole. Don't worry, if you screw up the button drilling the hole, Ruger will send you another one fairly cheap. |

| Alchemist, did you check out the Brownells catalog?www.brownells.com Got almost anything for the 10/22. I got a Power Custom weaver base for $15. |
| Jboze.......You don't EVEN want to mess with the Bullpup stock! Save your money, it's a POS!!! The sights ain't for sh*t, the sight radius is too small, and they are so high above the bore, that when combined with the 22LR's trajectory, means you won't bw able to hit sh*t, except at the exact range you sighted in. Looks ok, but just a pain in the *ss all the way around. Alchemist.......Wally world just might have the Weaver rail you're looking for, but it won't come with any rings. |
