Help me tune up my 10/22. This is my first one and I'd like to get a lightweight barrel and have it threaded. And maybe a folding stock. Of course I'll need some mags as well.
So, would you all post links to the stuff that works for you and tell me how you like it. Pics of your 10/22's are encourged as well. Thanks for help.

I'm not the most mechanically inclined so i sent my trigger group off to a guy that was on rimfirecentral. for like $70 got a very nice, no creep trigger ~2lbs, auto bolt release. Weaponcraft buffer is great as well.

Are you sure you want a light weight barrel? The stock light carbine barrels are the lightest unless you go Carbon Fiber in which you really can't thread. However, I don't think there's enough meat on the carbine barrels to thread. It's my opinion that a 16" bull barrel ballences perfectly. I'm picking mine up from TROS tomorrow. I'm doing research for my scope now.
Do you want to go fancy wood or black polymer stock? There is a guy from the coast that will probably be at the show this weekend. I know someone who posted in here before has delt with him. Anarx has been working on doing tuned triggers for them. There are a few aftermarket setups for tuned triggers and bolt work available. I am going to be doing a bit of bolt work on mine this weekend. I highly recomend you do a bit of research on www.rimfirecentral.com. I also highly recommend a bolt buffer, especially is your using it with a can. It will greatly reduce the bolt bounce noise. I'm sure others will chime in. Nox |

The other place to get a lightweight threaded barrel is Tactical Solutions. But they're spendy. I picked up a poly stock and heavy barrel combo at Midway USA for $80 total. I then had Mark @ TROS thread it.
Mags, I use stock Ruger 10 rounders. I picked up a Skeeter Lemon-aid adjustable trigger and sear pack from Hawktech Arms. Pet peave...I hate folding stocks on 10/22s! So far I think I've got (neglecting optics): - Ruger 10/22 Carbine = $170 - Stock = $45 - Barrel = $40 - Threading = $75 - Trigger + Sear = $65 - Poly Buffer = $6 - Extended mag release = $15 (which needs some tweaking) Total = $415 Of course you can get $200 target triggers, get bolt face work done, etc. etc. I think you've heard mine suppressed. It is very quiet. The only two rifle noises you hear are the hammer hitting and the bolt slamming forward. Just plinking, I'm holding about 0.75" at 50 yards (to me, the usable range). |

Yes he does.. I felt the trigger on his 10/22 and it was smooth and a nice crisp release, plus the overtravel stop was very nice. He whores them for cheap.

Cool that very nice of ya maybe after on the PR matches or something. I'll IM ya and we can Iron out the details. Thanks for all the great input guy I think I'll have to try out some your guys 10/22 to see what I like. I really don't want to turn this into a `$500 rifle though.  I do know one thing my mag release works better than NoAim's.

I bought a new factory barrel that had been cut to 16 1/2" and threaded 1/2x28 from High Desert Dog (on eBay) for $70. It works great.
$70 Butler Creek Folding Stock $18 Tasco "El Cheapo" 4X Scope $ 6 WeaponKraft Bolt Buffer $ 6 Bell & Carlson extended mag release (buy it at WeaponKraft) $56 Tactical Innovations mag $30 Volquartsen Target Hammer $... Tactical Innovations TAC-67 all stainless Suppressor The Tactical Innovations mag is absolutely superb! You don't have to spend $10 on the Auto Bolt Release. Five minutes with a Dremel, and you can easily modify your original. If you screw it up, then spend $10 for the Volquartsen. The scope is junk, but I was not sure whether I wanted a scope or a red dot, so for $18 I picked up the Tasco. Is it a "tack driver"? Nah, but it's okay. Very very quiet, and a lot of fun!  |

Dumb question - I'm seeing the ungodly amount of money some of you have spent on an unsuppressed 10/22 - does everything you've done make it shoot better?
I bought a 10/22 at Bi-Mart, blued with a black plastic stock, and some little cheapie Simmons scope deal that they had. Bone stock gun, and it's dead-on accurate. I'm just curious what you get out of your investment, since I can't see much room for improvement with mine... Now, integrally suppressing that bad boy, I can definitely understand the draw to that, but the rest of the stuff, I don't get. Enlighten me!

I've got a volquartsen carbon fiber barrel that has a compensator on it. They make a thread adapter so you can take the comp off and thread the adapter on and then you have 1/2" 28. then on goes the pilot.
I also have a tac innovations barrel for my mkIII 22/45, and they do make awesome barrels that are threaded, so check them out. you can get em for ruger 22's, pistol and rifle, and also for the buckmark. and last for the 22 can I have a folding stocked gun with factory barrel cut to 16" and threaded. we were doing some "pest" control at an airport today and the volquartsen barreled 22 was great! very accurate, and quiet with subs. good luck, and if some of this has been posted already, sorry I didn't read all the posts very throughly.. |

I aucually agree with you here... the main thing i could not stand as soon as i bought my 10/22 was the trigger.. the stock trigger on that folcker was probably around 8-10 pounds... so i learned how and worked and worked on it and brought it down to a safe 2~ lbs pull... with no creep and over travel *some take up or pre travel in it but i like that personally* now to pimp my own shizzle.. i have a full trigger job i have done thats drop in that i will let go right now for $30 plus parts trade in.. now as far as the rest of the stuff goes.. a bull barrel does help group size as well as trigger. but i just want a fun little plinker.. so thats why mine doesnt have one.. but if i where going to get a supressor.. if i'm allready going to be paying out 80 or so dollers to have the barrel threaded i would rather they do it to a bull barrel.. something that i'm not going to want to change in the future..

So I was at the gunshow. A couple hours after dropping my barrel off at TROS, I started talking with the guy selling Volquartsen stuff across the aisle from TROS. I remark that it sucks that no one makes CF barrels that can be threaded. He shows me an adapter that TROS made that will put 1/2x28 threads on a VQ compensated barrel. Unscrew the comp, screw on the adapter and can.
Oh hell yeah! I think I know what my next build will be. Especially if I can become one of the "cool kids"... I was going to get the AT-22 barrel threaded, but it's to narrow, so it would need an adapter. Mark McWillis said the total bill would be $130. Since the only reason I was keeping it around was I thought a suppressed takedown rifle would be cool, now I don't see any reason to keep it. Yet another gun I can offload (hint hint) to fund my DSA Para. (Oh yes, it will be mine...  )

I have to agree with most of that. A 10-22 is a plinker. I know, for $2000 you can turn it into a tack driver, but it will still be a 10-22. I bought mine at BiMart for $169. Ruger's factory trigger is horrible! Drop in an aftermarket target hammer for $30, and the trigger pull drops to about 2 pounds. I bought the threaded barrel for $70 because locally, they wanted $75 to thread my barrel....and I just happened to have a TAC-67 laying about.... I wanted a folding stock because its much easier to toss behind the seat of my truck, and is not quite as ugly as Ruger's plastic stock. Besides, I like black plastic guns. The mag, I had for my M11/9. Why spend extra money on a plinker? Hell, I don't know. Why do I have twenty 30 round magazines for my AR! Because I can, I guess. ....and Hillary is not going to let me have any more, if she gets her wish.... |
