A question for people with Green Mountain barrels: Do you use a brush when cleaning your barrel? I have been reading on rimfire central that many of the higher quality barrel makers like Volquartsen say not to do it. Others have said that it is not an issue and/or actually necessary to break in the barrel. Currently I am just using a boresnake with brush still intact but I am planning on picking up a GM 20" SS fluted barrel for my 10/22. Is an after market extractor needed when using a quality barrel with tighter tolerances then the standard sporter chamber? For a stock I am thinking of going with the Bell and Carlson Anschutz-Style Thumbhole Stock pending any comments on it.

Are there any downsides to the VQ THM Tension barrels as compared to a solid or fluted barrel?

Does anyone have any opinion/experience with the Bell and Carlson Odyssey stock, CPC bolts, or KID match barrels? http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpa...leitemid=164335 http://clintrfc.tripod.com/ http://www.coolguyguns.com/8barrel.html I am about 99% sure thats the stock I want to pickup barring any information that I shouldn't. I choose it because I want an adjustable, non-wood, bench-type rifle stock. I was looking at other high end fiberglass/composite stocks and figured that if was spending that much money it had better be adjustable so that I can get the most out of it. Many people over at rimfire central seem to love the KID barrel and say that it is better then GM barrels and on par with VQ and Shilen barrels (who also use Lothar Walther blanks). The VQ barrel option is slightly more expensive then that KID ($197 vs $180) and the Shilen option is about as much as I would want to spend on a barrel if it will make a difference ($244).

If I was ever going to setup a 10/22 to look like another gun I would do this:  The MWG teardrop magazine and ProMap drum are the only 10/22 magazines that I have seen that aren't curved like a banana magazine: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpa...8524&t=11082005 http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpa...9904&t=11082005 The both magazines are like any other after market 10/22 magazine in that it might work fine or it might fail to feed every round.

QuarkMartial posted:I couldn't get the stock I wanted before, but you know, that one looks nice. I might have to track one down. And honestly, I think that second picture is similar to what I want now. The deluxe sporter stock is available from midwayusa, brownellis, etc. You're correct, the barrel band isn't needed. The weird thing about 10/22s is that some like to have their barrel free floated, others like the barrel supported near the end or middle. The only way to find out is to experiment. Pitch posted:I love this stock why does it have to be more expensive than the rifle it goes to. The fit is tight and the adjustable ergonomics excellent. The coating is nice and grippy. It is also very ding/scratch resistant. It has a escutcheon, not a full pillar. It has a European style, full fore grip length, internal rail for mounting accessories. The stock feels moderately light. The extra weight for the adjustable LOP and comb make provides balance when mounting a bull barrel. Most importantly the stock is rock solid and doesn't warp with temperature/moisture changes.

QuarkMartial posted:My thing is that I'm not all that fond of the carbine stock, and since I'm placing an order for trigger parts and such, I can toss in a stock if it's cheap. (It may not be that cheap; I haven't looked yet). Honestly, it boils down to laziness. I'm going to have to put a sling stud on there and I'd rather just buy a nicer looking stock with the studs than drill them myself. My deluxe sporter stock came with non-detachable 1" sling swivels. All I had to do was unscrew them out of the stock (no tools needed) and then screw in the Uncle Mike's QD sling swivel set ($7.69): http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpa...leitemid=190783 No tools, measuring, or drilling needed.

NosmoKing posted:... Excellent and informative post. You just effectively summarized hundreds of pages of argument and discussion on RFC. With a heavy bull barrel it doesn't take much thanks to the single take-down screw to get a see-saw type problem where POI will constantly change. On my original stock I used the VQ bedding system for the semi-pillar, epoxied the ledge at the rear of the receiver and under the first 2.5" of the barrel where the barrel meets the front of the receiver. That way there was a point of contact on either side of the take-down screw (which I used a torque wrench to accurately tighten to the same lb-in every time). It was my first time bedding a rifle so everything from releaving material where I was going to epoxy to planning out the process was a case of measuring five times, doing the work once. On my new stock I have yet to do any bedding work. The amazing results I have got so far mean that I might be a long time before/if I attempt it. infrared35 posted:Hey! I know where that is. I never did get a chance to try that thing out though. Maybe next time I'm up in MI visiting family if your anywhere close to Flint.

SuperSlant6 posted:
Thats a beautiful rifle you have there. I'm a sucker for stainless and walnut. How are you shooting that is causing HV .22lr ammunition to hurt your shoulder? Short of placing the butt stock on your balls while mag-dumping CCI stingers, I cannot image any how recoil from a .22 semi-auto rifle could actually hurt. Do you have experience with any other rifles? -------------------------------------- Two weekends ago I spent a good hour testing out thirteen different brands of .22lr target ammunition in my 10/22. Bunnielab and Tetraptous also put their .22 rifles to the test. It was more of a reliability test then anything else. My Kidd match barrel is very picky about what ammunition it will reliably work well with. CCI Standard Velocity CCI Mini-Mag HP CCI Green Tag Lapua Midas-M Wolf Match Extra Eley TENEX Ultimate EPS Eley Club Xtra Eley Target Rifle Eley Standard Remington Target Federal Premium Gold Medal Agulia SuperExtra Centurion ? 50 yards shooting bench rest.  My 10/22 had multiple failure to fires with all the CCI ammunition (including Green Tag), the Federal Premium, and Agulia. The CCI standard velocity and mini-mag results aren't shown in the photo above. The baggy had the Centurion ammunition which had the worst consistency out of any of the brands in my 10/22. It did work extremely well in bunnielab's 10/22 at 25 yard though. Note the the results are in no way scientific and I wasn't putting serious effort to be precise. CCI standard velocity is still my favorite .22 ammunition for anything but my custom 10/22 that I tested that day because of its reasonable price, cleanliness, and consistancy.

Uncle Caveman posted:One of these days I am going to buy a second 10/22 and make a copy this wonderful setup. Pitch posted:Nice job on refinishing the wood (and nice Model 41)! If your camera has the option try to manually set the white balance or check to see if it has pre-programmed balance levels for different light sources. That would be your best bet for getting a "true color" shot of the finish. Here are some new pictures of my 1022 now that I have installed the KIDD two stage match trigger. I thought that the Volquartsen Action Plus kit I had in it before was a good trigger but the KIDD trigger puts it to shame. I think the only parts left besides the receiver that aren't aftermarket are the bolt, firing pin, v-block, and v-block screws  Click here for the full 1769x545 image. With bipod  Click here for the full 1857x1164 image. Comedy option (in reality the 1022 get Lapua and Eley. The CCI is for my Model 46)  Click here for the full 1860x1185 image.

Pitch posted:Also I desperately love your 10/22. The bolt handle and a curved trigger are probably the only things I would've done differently if it were mine. How ridiculously accurate is it now? Edit: Oh and how did you get the mag release on there? I thought the KID trigger came with an ugly one and wouldn't accept normal trigger parts. Have you bedded the action or barrel at all? I agree about the bolt handle. It was one of the first aftermarket parts I bought and there are some newer bolt handles I like better. The trigger isn't curved... I got the black straight trigger shown below (center bottom). Its more comfortable with my pistol grip style stock.  Click here for the full 677x621 image. Concerning the magazine release; there are now three different versions you can get. I got the sporter one in the center.  Click here for the full 414x782 image. I am still testing on the rifle to get a performance baseline before I permanently modify things by bedding the action. When I bedding my original Ruger deluxe sporter stock I used the Volquartsen pilar kit and Miles Gilbert glass bedding kit with great results. I have the Volquartsen hex take down screw that I use in combination with a torque wrench to tighten the barreled action to the stock to the same amount each time.

Uncle Caveman posted:Isn't the Dixie Consolidated bullpup well-thought of (or at least not vilified) around here? My brother's Dixie Consolidated 10/22 is a lot of fun (pictured below after temporarily tossing on every rail accessory we had on hand  ). It has a nice solid feel thanks to the well constructed metal body. If I remember right you can order them pretty customized depending on what body features you want (rails, lefty ejection port cover, etc.). Click here for the full 1295x727 image.

gimpsuitjones posted:does anyone recommending the TI mags actually own one? I have four of the polymer TI mags. I would say they're the best aftermarket high-cap 10/22 mag (Ruger's stock ten round mag beats any aftermarket non-high cap mag). Being able to adjust the TI mags is a lifesaver. They also have the advantage that they can be easily disassembled to clean out all the carbon and lubricant that bulk .22lr leaves behind. I have two of the butler creek steel lips mags and they both had to be "broken in". After a few hundred rounds each they worked well and really aren't that bad of a deal if you need a lower price alternative. That said they no longer work with my match barrel so I would not recommend them if you plan on upgrading to a non-sporter chamber barrel. I was able to adjust the TI mags and get them working again after the barrel upgrade.

TripcodeMel posted:Disassembling the stock Ruger mags is extremely easy and only requires an Allen wrench to fit the bolt that runs through the center. There's videos on Youtube that run over the process. The discussion was over 10/22 high cap magazines, specifically the butler creek and TI 25 round mags. For the same reason you mentioned in your post, I find the TI mags easier to put back together then the stock Ruger mags. Mensur posted:They certainly do! I no longer use any of my high cap mags in favor of clear acrylic Rugar mags. From my experience the clear ones are even better than the black ones in that they fall out more easily after depressing the mag release. They both seem equally reliable as far as feeding ammo. I'll probably never buy any other type of mag again. I have yet to find any magazine, high-cap or otherwise that matches the out-of-the-box reliability of those clear acrylic Ruger ten round mags. When I was still new to shooting I learned the hard way on one of them not to get any serious cleaners anywhere near the plastic though (clouded it up but it still functions perfectly).
