PAGING KAXTER

**TheBadGuy** · 03-06-2005, 08:06 PM

What happened to your 10/22 project. I became obsessed today and think I am going to embark on a similar mission. If I sell one good custom, I would have enough for gun, barrel and stock for the most part. Then I would pick up some accessories start plinking.

Give us details about your project, where your at with pictures please

I had every single thing planned out in detail. Then I bought a new motorcycle and got really poor really fast.

But I am STILL going to do the project, and it shall kick much ass.

I was going with GM barrel, VQ hammer and trigger, VQ bedding system, Corelite stock, Harris mount and rings.

Best site ever for .22s

How about a direct link to the stock, hammer, and barrel.

Does it matter which Ruger 10/22 you buy originally?? I see wal-mart has a cheap verison for $166 and I figured since your replacing about everything, I see no need for a more expensive version. Is there?

By the way, the only thing I have decided on is a Fajen Thumbhole Silhouette in the Midnight finish. Still need to decide on a barrel and pending the above question, the base model

Ok, I don't have time to read up right now as I got to go to work, what is the bedding system?

**TheBadGuy** · 03-08-2005, 06:08 PM

I am addicted!!! THANKS

I have my stock narrowed down, barrels wise I am down to two. One being double the price of the other and I am just trying to read up on that site to see if its worth it. Got my scope choosen. I am ready to start picking up pieces this upcoming payday

:dammit:

AWESOME!!!

Sorry my reply is so late, ive been super busy. You are gonna love this project man, I just know you will. Its really fun putting it all together. And most everyone uses the standard blue 10/22 that walmart sells, they are all the same.

What barrels are you choosing from?

**TheBadGuy** · 03-08-2005, 07:31 PM

Well I decided to use Wal-Marts standard stainless model as it’s only about $30 more and I am going with a stainless barrel. So far I have it narrowed down between either a:

Green Mountain 18" Stainless Bull barrel with flutes

OR

A Lilja barrel

Someone suggested I go with the Lilja but it’s over double the price of the Green Mountain model and it looks like the GM barrels have a good following on that forum so it’s a hard decision. The more expensive the parts become the longer it will take me to finish and I don't want to cheap out but at the same time I don't want to waste cash. I am going with a thumbhole stock with high cheek rest and am trying to decide on what laminate

Looks like I am going to with a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x40 Mil Dot scope and it looks like it and the base rifle are the only two DEFINATES so far.

What’s the deal with that bedding system??? Do I really need one? I read somewhere you don't with certain shit, but I am not even sure what it is

Do you think its better to send off my trigger assem. to have it work on, or do I buy parts and do it myself or do I buy an entire new drop in unit?

**ArchAngel** · 03-08-2005, 08:19 PM

TBG,

I bought the Fajen, thumbhole silhoutte stock (nice stock). I ended up buying an Adams/Bennett barrel with Wheeler compensator. I used a BSA Platinum 8x36x44 mil dot scope. Lastly, a drop in Volquartsen trigger groupe and you are well off. I found all of these parts from Midway. They are a great sourse for reasonably priced gun parts. At 50 yrds I can now make a one jagged hole group! Let us know what you end up doing.
Here is a shot of my baby so far.

**TheBadGuy** · 03-08-2005, 08:21 PM

Let me ask. How difficult was it for you to assemble the parts yourself with min. tools?

Any regrets with the stock or scope? I am just trying to do this right the first time around as I am afraid I can see wanting to build more than one of these babies :love:

**ArchAngel** · 03-08-2005, 08:40 PM

It takes almost no tools to do what I did. An allen wrench takes out the barrel. A flat head screwdriver takes off the stock. A small allen wrench for the scope mounts. Very basic handtools and you are there! You will love it!
I actually have been very happy with all of the items I got for my little baby.
That BSA is a pretty darn good scope for the money. The barrel is great also. The stock was a splurge but worth every penny. The trigger group is a worthwhile added cost feature also.
I spent less where I felt I could without compromising the end result. I see no reason to spend 300.00+ for a scope on a .22 if a 120.00 one will work as well. YMMV Good Luck

Yeap, everytime I have something picked out, I change it

The Bushnell Elite scope was originally choosen b/c its seemed like an awesome scope and I am all about accuracy with this one. But it looks like there are allot of cheaper options avaiable? Any other model scopes you think I should look at??

**TheBadGuy** · 03-08-2005, 08:45 PM

Man, at 1/4th the price, this would allow me to just about get everything in HALF the time

Is this similar to yours??

**wes** · 03-08-2005, 08:50 PM

Do yourself a favour (and the gun's next owner judging by the rate you get rid of stuff) and buy some decent screwdrivers for gunsmithing. The screw heads will thank you for it.

I'm following this one along as I have a 10/22 that really wants a new barrel and stock.

**ArchAngel** · 03-08-2005, 08:51 PM

Exactly the same scope I have. Great price also! Personally for this application I feel that this scope will do all you or I could ask of it. No doubt.
