I had a short SMG grip on there and helped it quite a bit as it's pretty much too short to hold offhand without one, IMO /\ /\ /\ yeah they're nice, but like what, $1000+? Jesus

But yeah, I'd personally rather spend the $500 or whatever and get that M249 paratrooper conversion if I was going to drop mad Benjamins on a 10/22 stock.

Here is what I believe. Everyone should have in their vehicle a beat up 10/22 and a couple boxes of aquilla super colibris. Went to a friend's bonfire out in the sticks last night and ended up staying there until the morning. Everyone else was asleep so I decided to plink the empty beer bottles. Granted they would cycle better in a bolt or lever action, but whatever.

I like my bolt guns for the CB style ammo, but sometimes can get a Super Colibri to feed in the 10/22. The Firefly conversion that I had (.22 short conversion) was set up to shoot .22 short cased CBs. Very, very light recoil spring. Allowed the bolt to function with CB ammo. Was quieter than my pellet guns. Alas, I sold it because I'm an idiot.

Thanks. That's the factory wood carbine stock; I removed the barrel band, chopped off the extension, roughed the surface with 120 grit and sprayed with Plasti-Kote aerosol rubber (from a hardware store). Also, a set of Tech Sights and cheapo sling studs.

Today I started my truck gun project. I took the project gun apart today and started work on the internals. I took the guide rod and cocking handle assembly apart and polished the guide rod. I can already tell that it is going to be a lot smoother in operation. I plan on polishing all engagement surfaces on the hammer and sear as well as polishing the inside of the receiver and bolt. I have a 16.5 inch sporter contour barrel on order from shooter's discount which will have the sights replaced with fiber optic sights. The barrel, receiver, and trigger guard assembly will all be sand blasted to remove the finish and then duracoated FDE.

^Why didn't I think of that? I guess I'm too lazy to take the spring off, so I just clamped it on both ends and sanded. It was a definite improvement, though. what are we aiming for when polishing the receiver? is it "no scrap of black left at all" or just "polish off all the little bumps etc". I spent about 15 minutes on mine and its greatly improved.

Chemical stripper? Too messy for me, I just used a Dremel + wire wheel on the insides & left it bare. Some day I'll do the outside and GunKote the whole thing.

I bought a few of those foam sanding bricks and they let me get down inside the receiver easier. takes awhile as the bricks get tore up easily, though.

Oh come on now, Professor Awesome, if any gun is suited to be put in a completely unnecessary and impractical costume, it's a 10/22. You keep up this negative attitude and Santa just might decide not to bring you that Battlin' Bill Ruger Skull Mountain Rapid-Fire Fortress action playset for Christmas.

Crosspost from the .17HMR thread! .17HM2: still faster than goons chasing bacon, because goons are fat lol I was awakened this afternoon by some enjoyable human being pounding on the door. Luckily this was no ordinary fag, but the UPS guy with two packages for me! I'll spare you the usual teasing cutesy crap we like to do around here and post a picture of what everything looked like put together  "What's so awesome about this" you may be asking yourself if you suck. Welp,  It's an EABCO .17 Mach 2 conversion kit with tungsten bolt handle. The stock is an unfinished Boyd Barracuda, which is available from Gunkings.com for about $70 less than the finished version. It's fully inletted and shaped, all that needs done is sanding and finishing. My wife hates the forend but it seems to let you get a really good grip on the gun as you can wrap your fingers all the way around it, which should be nice for offhand shooting. So why .17HM2? One of my favorite targets are re-filled water bottles. Hit them with something very small going very fast like .17HM2 or HMR and they explode, shooting water everywhere and throwing the bottle 20 feet in the air. Now .22 is great for cheap plinking but it's pretty boring ballistically. The cheap stuff is slow, dirty, inconsistent, and prone to FTFs and FTEs in every semiauto I've tried it in. The nicer stuff that shoots better, cycles 100%, and packs more punch like Stingers or Velocitor is just as expensive (or more so) than .17HM2. You can currently get Remington/Eley HM2 from J&G for $3.69/50, or 7 cents per round. For the scope right now I'll probably just pull the cheapo Simmons .22 Mag off our 597 but the next step is an upgraded trigger/hammer/sear, a picatinny scope rail, and a better scope.

I love that wood, but I just don't know how I feel about that stock. I want a .17hmr (not hm2) really badly, but it looks like 10/22 magnums can't be had anymore for reasonable prices so I guess I'll just get a bolter eventually.Uncle Caveman posted:

For some reason, it seems only Volquartsen has been able to make a .17HMR semiauto that doesn't constantly blow up cases and their guns are like $1200. The 597 version and MR-17 both have these problems (I remember seeing a kBed 597 here a year or so back) and Ruger scrapped their 10/17 Magnum before it even made it into production.

Pitch posted:Oh god my Power Custom titanium handle has been outdone the specific gravity of your gun parts can in no way match mine, loser Really it's to compensate for the higher pressure (and therefore higher bolt reciprocation speed) that comes with HM2 over .22LR. It also comes with a .22 mag return spring. This is the easiest and, according to Rimfirecentral, most reliable way to it but if you're dumb you can shell out like $200 bucks for the Volquartsen heavy bolt.

Is there really anything to be gained with a titanium or aluminum bolt handle over the stock steal one is it just eye candy. I was thinking about getting this: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpa...leitemid=490731 but realized I may just be getting expensive jewelry for it.

Hey, long time TFR lurker, new stupid newbie account holder. A few months ago I picked up my first rifle from Cabela's. I had been lurking the forums for awhile now, and I noticed whenever a "I'm new, should I buy a X or a Y?" thread came up, half the replies were "no, buy a 10/22", so I did just that. It does not disappoint! Click here for the full 1600x391 image.  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image.  Click here for the full 1600x435 image. Mostly unaltered, though the model itself is a bit mysterious. I can't find anything like it on Ruger's site. The closest I found was this, but the stock isn't exactly the same, and it's stainless steel. The box's model is "10/22RPFTB", which has no Google hits whatsoever. Anyway, I love it. Knocking on wood here, but out of 500 rounds, I've had ZERO FTFs so far (Federal Game-Shok high velocity). Steel Lips mags, one of which I bought a few weeks ago and has worked well, so I bought a second one today. Also bought today was the scope, a cheapo Cabela's 4x, which I haven't tested yet. Soon I'll be buying the Bell and Carlson Extended Magazine Release and Volquartsen Automatic Bolt Release (two of my biggest gripes about the gun).

I'm sort of looking for a submachine gun-ish/tactilol stock/kit for a 10/22. I was thinking of just buying a GSG5, but then I'm stuck with that if I ever decide I want to change it into anything else. I've heard mixed reviews of the "Krinker Plinker", RB Precision has this expensive guy, and Tapco has their pseudo-M4 stock. I'm not really moved by any of those options, so does anyone have any other recommendations for a good quality submachine gun-ish stock/kit?

I'm not really moved by any of those options, so does anyone have any other recommendations for a good quality submachine gun-ish stock/kit? All the Krinkers I've played with have been solid and I plan on building one as my tacticlol .22LR wasting machine once I get ahold of a spare receiver and bolt. I think most of the negative press about them comes from one Calguns thread where someone was unlucky enough to call C&S with complaints on the day the douchebag co-owner was in, rather than the  guy that actually makes the kits. From there it seems to have snowballed into a giant orgy of hating krinker-plinkers because some guy got butthurt, and everyone spammed KRINKER PLINKER over and over to get it to the top of google's search results.I had a Dixie Consolidated LP-3 bullpup on my 10/22 until recently but I decided to sell it and turn my 10/22 into a bull-barreled .17HM2. Like a lot of other bullpups it was an existing action shoehorned into a new package with mixed results. It was mostly good and reduced the OAL to just over the legal limit but it liked to shoot burning powder all over my right arm, and once the trigger pin walked out on me while shooting because there's nothing to retain it like a normal stock. There's also the Nordic Components AR22 chassis which can be had for about $225 and will take AR grips, stocks, and free-float handguards. I don't know much about them, really. Smiling Jack posted:I have exactly $300 to blow on my stock 10/22 including taxes and shipping. Any suggestions on a barrel / stock combo. About halfway up this page above I converted my 10/22 into .17HM2 using an EABCO barrel/bolt kit and Boyd Barracuda target stock for 100+ yard water bottle/squirrel exploding fun. The kit was $210 and the unfinished stock was $100, including shipping. Some people don't like the Barracuda but it's really drat ergonomic and the forearm helps you support and balance the bull barrel, plus it looks a lot nicer since I finished it. At about $3.70/50 from J&G .17HM2 isn't stupidly expensive, but is pretty much all made to match/vartmiteering standards. And it makes squishy things explode I mentioned that right Professor Awesome fucked around with this message at Aug 4, 2008 around 08:32 |

I bought a brand new 10/22 and went to the range with it today. It was firing fine at first (some trouble feeding with my aftermarket mags only) but about 150ish rounds in, it started having some problems. The mags were feeding fine and the rounds were chambering, but the trigger was not resetting. I was having to rack it and eject a perfectly good round and then it would shoot fine. It went from being a semi auto to a rack it after every shot. I did not lube the gun or anything after I bought it and was using a remington bulk ammo pack. The one called "golden bullet". I am thinking it is either that the gun got too dirty and the bolt did not cycle fully, or maybe the hammer area got gunked up. When I ejected the live round, it was fine with no hammer strike or anything. Anyone have a similar thing happen before? Hopefully it is something that I can fix easily tonight because my brother in law is flying in from Japan tomorrow and wants to shoot my Krinker Plinker. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And for the guy above, I really love the Krinker Plinker kit. It is very solidly built, comes with very detailed instructions, easy to assemble, and very accurate once you sight it it.
