Daveo26 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have a a 10/22 its the synthetic/stainless one. I swapped the original plasic stock for a standard wood one. Its still horrible! So I have decided to make a project out of it. I intend to have the barrel chopped to 14", the action duracoated in Olive Drap or black, fit a Hogue stock in black. Im going to do a few bits inside, I have already fitted an auto release and a bolt buffer. Im thinking of a Tactical solutions trigger housing as the standard one is plastic and a power custom hammer. Any further recommendations or ideas where to source parts? I would like a syss receiver but i can't get my head round paying more than what a complete standard guns costs for one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 One of the best things I did with my 10/22 was to get rid of the wooden stock, and fit a hogue one. It made a vast difference, and was well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me why people ever bother buying a 10/22, why not just buy all the spares and build a rifle, saves throwing away all those bits! ATB!

bullet boy Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I've also got a Black Hogue Stock on my 10/22 carbine which is superb! Fitting a better Trigger Unit is a must IMO as the standard unit is not good enough in my book!I've got the Rimfire Magic Trigger Unit on mine and it's a much nicer unit,smoother let off!This unit also houses a magazine release trigger which again is better than the standard! I also fitted a Weaver/Picatinny Rail which is not a necessity,but cosmetically is pleasing to the eye. A rubber Buffer at the back of the action block is a necessity IMO as it does silence the movement of the slide on firing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB! Well I bought a 10/22 because it was fairly cheap and allowed a faster back up shot when rabbiting than my old bolt gun. Then Iv found out they are not actually that good in standard form. Mine does ok but with a few small mods could shoot much better. So then i started looking at SYSS and other websites and discovered all the nice and practical upgrades and now I want an awesome 10/22 not a **** bog standard one. and i enjoy tinkering with my guns It keeps me off the streets So thats why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done need to do anything else in my mind I thought about taking mine to my local gun smith and letting him do it, How do i go on with the extra barrel does it need putting on my ticket? Mine is allegedly stainless but it rusts for fun hence the duracoat idea. I've also got a Black Hogue Stock on my 10/22 carbine which is superb!

coyotemaster Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Excellent, cheers Steve that what i want to hear, support for the preposed mods How small are americans??? because both the standard stocks have felt very short in the LOP. I could send you some pics but don't want to make you jealous! I put the Hogue stock on mine with a green mountain stainless heavy barrel and it shoots dime size groups at 50 yds with match ammo. I would not recommend this way though as it is barrel heavy for hunting without a bipod. Tactical solutions makes an aluminum outer barrel with a CM liner that takes off a lot of weight and still provides a stiff accurate barrel, looks neat--costs$$$ If you don't have some aptitude for the sort of work you better have someone do your trigger for you. I have done 2 and they are not that much fun to deal with and they still don't impress me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
