Transformation of a Ruger 10/22

[rocked]

From this....

To this....

This was a fun project. I will have to say I was very reluctant to start stripping and sanding on this reciever but now i couldn't be happier. All I have left is to find a new trigger group and she will be complete!

Wow that is a pretty drastic change. Looks really good.

Gotta Love those 10/22 and how adaptable they are. Sweet gun. Update us on how she shoots.

what barrel is that?looks sharp

Very similar to my last build. I used a Boyd stick that would allow for left hand use as well. The Tactical Solutions barrels do shoot well, mine likes the Federal Auto-Match.

I am really excited to see how the TS barrel compares, I have heard nothing but good things about them. Thanks for all the great comments. That is a sweet lookin' 22 451_D. It really suprised me how much weight these mods took out of the gun.

That looks great, quite the change, Good job and thanks for posting.

That was the whole purpose of my build...to go lightweight. I can shoot mine offhand like a pistol with little effort. My first 10/22 build almost doubled the weight of the rifle which was what I wanted in it. Next build will be on of the M1 Carbines...much cheaper to shoot than my Inland.

I considered the same stock you used but Dad shoots left hand so I used an ambi stock but I really do like the one you used as well. I am considering using a complete Timney drop in trigger on the Carbine build.

nice looking build. for a trigger, step up to a tony kidd unit, fully adjustable and you wont ever have anything else.....daryll

same thing with my build. I wanted a light weight hunting rifle. I went with a hogue stock and a tac sol barrel. the tac sol barrel really is a great shooter. after about 300-400 rounds mine started shooting 1 hole groups at 25yrds and I can put 10 shots inside a quarter sized target at 50yrds shooting the cheaper CCI ammo {blazers}...even at 100yrds I was impressed with the groups..nothing to write home about but for me even hitting the target at 100yrds is nice with a .22lr, I never expected that kind of accuracy out of a relatively inexpensive barrel. Im also running a Kidd bolt and trigger.

I ordered a VQ trigger group yesterday, I hope I like it as much as you guys like the Kidds. I have heard good things about both products.

The VQ trigger is nice but the Kidd trigger is a totally different animal. you'll like the VQ. I think my next trigger purchase will be a rimfire tech trigger group..I've heard good things about them as well.

Wow, great looking 10/22, your alot farther along than me, all i've done so far is put an extended mag release. I will probably just settle with a red dot and a side folder. I'd almost be afraid to shoot a rifle that pretty.

I went the other direction from stock 10/22 to this. Which includes a 1:9 barrel for the SSS 60gr. round.

I have a VQ group in a Steel Challenge gun that I like better for that purpose than the 7/14 Kidd that I have in a rifle built for accuracy.
I'm sure you'll like the VQ.
