How cool is THAT?!

[RobbyMaQ]

I shot my first appleseed with ATM at Crawfordsville in Nov. of 2012, and managed rifleman on the first day thanks to the great staff and their teachabilities!!!
My father gave me his old Ruger 10/22, and it is what i shot rifleman with. A little worse for wear, I did manage to upgrade the stock, install tech sights (though a scope is on it nowadays), and polish the internals.

Recently my father found, and handed me the original receipt... Check the date... April 19th. How cool is that!?

The Sling is good, loop is on the butt. Why would you switch it?

oh and Congrats on Rifleman 1st try!

The H-buckle (loop) is in the correct location. However, the J-Hook is usually attached to the rear sling swivel to easily detach the sling from the stock. On this rifle, it looks like there's a quick release sling attachment that serves the same purpose.

Do you still have the original stock??

If so - you could consider re-finishing it - and "laminating" that receipt to the back of the stock's butt (between the heel and the toe).

Wonder how one would accomplish that... Hmmmm...

Correct. the loop on that rear swivel is not wide enough for the gi sling, so I run mine backwards (hook up front) for quick detach (I do this on my two AR's also).
The hook can bite into my hand a bit, but I like to be able to QD the front and leave the loop on my arm. I know instructors prefer to get in and out of the loop sling. SOmeday i will work towards that.

I do not. I donated it to an INGO'er (complete with leather sling) who was looking for a project gun/wood stock to replace the composite one on his newer 10/22.

The stock is a blackhawk axiom. Rise is a little low for my taste (hence the insulation wrap) but it's adjustable so my wife and kid can shoot it as well.

It's like it was made for appleseed! If only I had known when I shot it at one!
