Considering 10/22 build

[alan98]

I just bought a S&W MP 15-22 last week so that will take the place of the 10/22. I'm thinking of doing a build with the 10/22. What are considered really good barrels for these? I've read good things about GM and Kidd.

I will be going with the B%C target/varmint stock. Do many people buy a new receiver when doing a build?? Just wondering since I've seen them on some sites.

Lastly, I think there is a replacement trigger kit for around 40.00 or something? I would just like to re-do the stock trigger instead of buying a new one unless there's a really good one for not too much $$

So, just wondering what barrels you guys have had good luck with and some trigger options for the build.

Thanks in advance,

Alan

Alan,

Let me point you to a cheaper way to build a custom 10/22 just order this ---> <span style="font-weight: bold">Brownells</span> and be done with it!!!!

Its the best way to go, do to that action being built right, and parts fitted and you get the rifle you want in one simple shot for less than you can build the same level of quality.

Thanks! I was unaware of these. Looks like this may be the route I go. All I would need is the B&C stock and would be G2G. Have you purchased any of thesse? Just curious of the quality/accuracy.

Thanks,

Alan

Before you buy the B&C stock (very nice stock), check out the tacticool stocks on Boyds for about half the price. There are a couple of threads about it in this sections.

I built a 10/22 on a KID barrel a month or two ago. The KID barrels are really nice. Two 10-shot groups at 100 yards w/5-10mph variable half value wind using Wolf Match Extra:

Re: Considering 10/22 build

dont do it man. it all starts with one. then you have two. now i have three. 600-800 in a 10/22 is just crazy. not as crazy as 1200-1800 in a 10/22. sell it and run away.

but if you do go that way, i just bought a whistle pig lightweight barrel, and man the thing is light. the rifle is really nice too. i used the tacticool stocks (A5ish looking) from boyds. i love the lighter weight than compared to the heavy 0.920" steel ones i have. check out rimfire central and there are some 10/22 boards too im sure. if you are just going to buy power custom or volquartsen trigger parts you may want to send your stuff to someone to do a trigger job. might be cheaper than the aftermarket parts and give similar results. the totally cool way to go is KIDD. $$$$$, but worth it from what everybody says. have fun, set a limit for spending and read the info over on RFC and you should be ok.

but remember i warned you, lol

+1 on the Kidd barrel. Everything he does is first class in fit and finish.

Haha, thanks! I'm not sure if I wanna go the KIDD route, or just buy the whole thing minus stock from brownells. That would be the easiest way but I was hoping someone might have a range report for those.

Anyways, I keep saying I'm done buying rifles then something else comes to mind..this is like a disease hahaha

I'm single right now so this is the time to get everything I want. Just got a really good paying job too. One more then I'm done........maybe.. lol

Alan,

Clark Custom 10/22's are known as one of the top brands. Check this out. http://www.clarkcustomguns.com/1022con.htm

This is the same brand as the link I sent you.

TRUST me the Clark Custom rifles are a GREAT buy and hold resale value more so than a parts gun
