22 LR carbines

[westberg]

Check out these 22 carbines. I just ordered the Nordic Component reciever chassis and we are now a dealer for Volquartsen Custom. My plan now is to build one of these rifles out of Volquartsen 10/22 and JP Enterprises parts.

It depends on if you have a 10/22 laying around. The Nordic Chassis is $224.00 and accepts standard AR stocks and free floating stocks as I understand it.

Now the rifle I'm thinking about putting together if it works is with Volquartsen parts, retail for the parts is somewhere in the $1,752.00 range. Insane I know, but the rifle............

You're nuts.

Can't a guy get a .22 LR conversion for a real AR-15? Thought I had seen those before but then my imagination is fairly creative sometimes.

I bought the cheapest 10/22 I could find (happened to be at Gander believe it or not, think I paid $180, cheap stock and tapered barrel not the heavy barrel), then swapped out some internal parts for aftermarket (buffer, mag release, slide release, nothing fancy) and put a stock and scope on it. All said and done I might have $275 into it. I guess it could be considered a "black rifle" now

But then mine doesn't have a collapsing stock, rails, bipod, or anything a person could label tactical. besides a black stock.

If you have the means go for it Ron, looks cool. 10/22's are the AR of .22's, the aftermarket comes up with so much stuff you can put on one.

ETA: ok I guess something like this is what I was thinking. I guess like you say if you already had a 10/22 laying around begging for some new clothes, your cost wouldn't be much different. Same goes if you had an AR-15 laying around I guess.

Yep, and for only about $259 But even My AR, (may she rest in peace at the bottom of the lake) doesn't look that cool......

I'm expecting this to be 1000m rifle..............

Hey its only $1.75 per meter. Thats cheap!

Anybody have any loading dope on the 22LR.............

[EJSG19]

My recipe is as follows.

Fill magazine, take approximate aim, suppress a sly grin, proceed to spray Winchester Wildcats down range slow at first then fast until magazine is empty. 2 hits out of 10 is considered good anywhere past 100 yards on something the size of your fist. Then grumble a little about how bad the stock trigger break is, and reload a magazine telling myself I'll fire slow and take my time next time. Squeeze off 3 shots, while actually aiming, then rapid fire the last 7 and snicker.

Most days consist of something on that order. .22's are addictive. Total ammo budget for an entire day of shooting? maybe $10-20 bucks. Certain things like that brighten up my day.

The hard part is getting the brass reshaped where the firing pin hit.........after that it's easy.

parts is somewhere in the $1,752.00 range. Insane I know, but the rifle............

Will that come with a gaurantee that it will shoot better than a $200 10/22 You do realize that after you spend $1752 it's still a .22??

It will be an expensive 22 although I will have paid less then the $1752 that was a retail number and again to achieve the same accuracy can be done a lot cheaper. This is a test gun to take the best of our suppliers and see what I can build with their parts.
