I bought my 10/22 about 2 years ago. It's the bottom end blued barrel and black synthetic stock. I had a bit of a task getting the swivel studs installed into that plastic, but they're secure and functional. For my son's 14th birthday, I'm giving him a new 10/22 with the black synthetic stock, but a stainless barrel. The 2 days after his birthday, we're going to Appleseed at MCFG.
So he's a bit spoiled here. I've already gotten with Allen, who has supplied two Crossfire scopes, ring sets, and extended bases for our rifles. I have a total of 8 10 round magazines, and two 25 round. I bought slings from the Appleseed store, and ordered the studs for his rifle and swivels for both. Gonna be a great day.
So, here's the surprise. I thought I was ordering the stainless version of my rifle, and that other than the obvious, they'd be identical. I picked it up from USDS last night, and to my surprise, the stock is swivel ready! I've looked on Ruger's site, and a couple other places and I don't see this specification anywhere. I'm pretty pleased and can't wait for July to come around!
