scarecrow 0 Posted January 24, 2015 With the help of a couple of You-Tube videos I managed to install a Kidd auto-release bolt, swapped out trigger, mag release, charging handle & barrel band. Also added a picatinny rail and topped it all off with a new BX 15 round mag. Think I need to get another one and I will try a barrel & stock swap along with worked trigger group.

T Bill 649 Posted January 24, 2015 Ruger 10/22s are easy to modify. Just take your time. Next step would be to change the bolt stop. You can go the cheap way by using a shaft of a nylon bolt or purchase an after market variety and then improving your bolt with a radius modification on the back end and then a firing pin and bolt face improvement. See Connecticut Precision Chamberings or "que" for this work. I just finished my second 10/22 with a complete front to back modification on a takedown, if I could find the camera I will post pics.https://sites.google.com/site/quesplace/http://www.ct-precision.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrap 4 Posted January 24, 2015 I did my first ever few gun "stuffs" (disassemblies, modifications, upgrades, minor 'gunsmithing' etc. etc.) by watching YouTube videos and they were humongous help. Now I make videos on guns, gun modifications and upgrades and such, and have overwhelmingly positive reviews, and i still watch other peoples videos when I need a hand or have a question or am stumped/having a problem etc. Congrats, you'll be your own armorer in no time! And p. p.s, while i am a Remington 597 guy rather than 10/22, I did some upgrades to my 597 which made the gun a lot "better" and were very satisfying to me gunsmith-wise, and now the rifle is a tremendous asset and tons of fun for the whole family.. I'm sure you'll have the similar experiences, congrats and good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
