Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

so are these all things that can be bought, or do i understand you modify some kits yourself?

 

[defcon]

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

some are aftermarket stocks like the Muzzelite, MG42.

rest are gutted airsoft stocks that i bought new and used. used a dremel to clear out the metal or plastic internals to bed my .22

why not, instead of wasting so much money on crap, spend all that wasted money on a real gun?

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

I just picked up a Savage 93 in .17 HMR and was wondering about this. I want to put it in either the Tacticool stock or pick up something like an airsoft AICS clone to since the stock it comes with seems pretty short. I would be very interested to see how you bed your Savage in one of those. Problem is I shoot from the correct, or left handed

, side of the rifle and I haven't seen any left hand airsofts. Still think you have a cool thing going.

LOL!!!

I'll admit I think it's pretty cool to put a .22 in an "unobtainium" stock and do so for just pennies compared to buying the real mccoy. However, I'd definitely buy more 10/22s and way fewer "skins."


+1 to the Savage MKII in AICS, but I want a high quality shell and an aluminum chassis. Until then I'm sure I'll be happy with my Tacticool once it gets here.
eta: yes, AICS clone = L96

ill be testing fitting both of my .22 bolt actions into the L96 to see what fits the best.

Yeah I am going to try the AICS stock from a L96 airsoft, looking it over I am not sure where to go with this thing, lol

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

hey man what ever floats your boat, or blows up your skirt.

cool idea, i love .22's. not my cup of tea but go for it.

good luck filling all those with 10/22's

mock one up in a garand, I would buy one.

 

[Jerz_Subbie]

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Before getting an L96, read this thread.
http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...292#Post2903292

The OP tried an L96 and a Well G96 which apparently has an aluminum chassis and much stronger than the all molded plastic L96 models.

Thanks man. Not every stock can contain a 10/22. The stocks with narrow receivers will contain a Marlin 795 like the SCAR, TAR21, M60, L85

Bolt action stocks will house either a Marlin XT22 or Savage MKII

Sorry im not into wood stocks. Just evil looking black rifles

Would most likely look unthought out, and be hastily hacked away with a dremel, like all the others.

Do any of these even firmly fit in these bodies without wobble and actually work?

Assuming you bought all of these already trashed and not already working, that's still a minimium of a 1000$ spent on worthless shells if you got them for 50$ each. Several probably were far more than that though.

I don't see how having several guns that look decent from 50 yards away would be better than one high quality rimfire rifle.

Sorry to crap on your thread, that's all this post is... but I'm just too baffled to be able to say anything else.

Yea, that M200 Cheytac can shoot a soupcan at 2k yards, didn't you see the movie Shooter?

I just really don't get this though, no matter what you put in the stock, it still functions the same, to me this is just pointlessly tacticool without any additional function. I can see it from a collectors point of view if you wanted to own all those weapons, but they're not those weapons, they're just a 10/22. For the cost of all these shells, you could have gotten quite a diverse collection of different guns, or several NFA items.

Its kind of funny. You would have been a GOD here if you didnt mention that they were all fake. Now most figure you take the short bus to school.

If you could come up with a skin to make Leupolds look like Schmidt & Bender PMIIs, you could make big bucks selling to the same guys. Just saying...

if theyre tired of the wood sporting stock or if they want something tacticool, then they can ask me. im not showing off performance, functionality or precision. i dont have any knowledge in that area. just dress up kits that most didnt even know that was available to them.

Im sure you'd fit in on a rimfire forum, but what does a long range precision website have for you, if you're satisfied with a shotgun and ar-15??

Re: My collection of .22LR dress up kits

Apart from the fact I still don't understand why you would be interested in any of the discussions on this forum, I suppose I still don't understand your motivation for this. Isn't it embarrassing to go to the range and pull out a SCAR and have local billy bob hunter come over thinking you must be top shit for having such a fancy ass machine gun and then he find out that it's just a toy you're playing dress-up with?

it seems like if you just want to play pretend army and aren't actually interested in shooting or marksmanship then you'd just do airsoft. That way you can hang out with people who share you interest and appreciate (is that the right word) finger fucking something that looks vaguely like military hardware.

Incidentally, apart from the fact many people cream their pants over getting to use something with a fun switch on it, most military weapons are shit from the perspective of accuracy or build quality. They're made to feed lead in one side and pump it out in the general direction of the other and not much more. Generally they're heavy, sloppy, dirty, and possessing triggers intended more for mashing than operating. I've owned an actual HK manufactured MP5 and in semi-auto mode it's a complete dog. Why would I ever want to PRETEND that I owned one?

This is the equivalent of posting pictures of your honda civic wearing a chicom built ferarri body kit on a racing forum. What is the motivation for doing so?

cool.

i was looking around for affordable tacticool sniper stocks that i can gut. found an archangel M1A stock and will be putting in a 10/22 inside that.

looking for M14 EBR pics.

also was researching what kind of .22 bolt action to buy for my M82, M99, L96 and M200 stocks.

enjoy looking at the expensive rifles that i

researching Marlin XT-22 and Savage MKII and bought both.

i dont have a safe yet. i need to buy one. ive only been to the range about 4 times. i can go to the range during lunch hours to do my test fires. im not tracking anything right now. im more concerned to see these working safely with no wobbles.
