WTB 10/22 accesories

[mmarino]

I just picked up a 10/22 with a stock that is pretty beat up, I have to replace it and while at it might as well go for the tacti-cool look. any suggestions on what to get? or if you have something send me a pm with what it is and your price.

Thanks

check out the christie super stock. I really like mine.

I would suggest cruising RimfireCentral.com. It's a really busy discussion forum, and the 10-22 is always a major discussion topic.

Some basic, low-cost upgrades that are definitely worthwhile for you to consider, particularly on an older rifle:

-Get the bolt reworked. Randy at CPC (http://community.webtv.net/RandyAtCPC/) or Que at Que's Boltworks (https://sites.google.com/site/quesplace/) . They will radius the rear edges for smoother action, square the bolt face, set the head space, and pin the firing pin, as well as jewel-polish the surface. They both charge $50, and both will also install an upgraded extractor for an additional $10. Que did a bolt for me. It's excellent.

-Another bolt option...for $99, Kidd innovative Design http://www.coolguyguns.com/ will sell you a new and upgraded bolt. I have one and it's really a piece of art, and noticeably smoother than even a reworked bolt.

-Upgrade the trigger. Options range from a $219 Volquartsen or a $235 Kidd drop in trigger group (I have a VQ and it's really excellent), or you can buy a trigger upgrade kit from Kidd for $105, which replaces the hammer, sear, disconnector and bushings (works best with the current-model polymer trigger housing), or you can send the trigger unit off to Brimstone Gunsmithing http://www.BrimstoneGunsmithing.com . He does 3 tiers of work. He will polish the hammer/sear and set the pull to whatever you specify. No creep, exceptionally clean break. He charges $35. I have one of his upgraded triggers and it's excellent.

-A synthetic buffer. Currently the 10-22 bolt stop buffer is steel. It "clacks" noticeably when cycling. There are urethane buffers all over the place for sale for peanuts, or Kidd sells a nice one, rubber with steel insert, for $6.

As to stocks...OMG, that's endless - a dizzying array of stocks available for the 10-22. My preference has been for the Hogue overmolded stocks for $50 at Midway, but if you're looking for tactical...Archangel stocks are reportedly excellent http://www.archangelmanufacturing.com/iriflestocks.htm .




Another consideration would be Nordic Components. http://shop.nordiccomp.com/10-22_c8.htm



As far as I can tell, these are the two big players in the tacticool stock realm for the 10-22.

grab a tapco t6 stock, depending on if you want a bench gun or not the trigger/bolt/everything else may or may not make sense... i've been up and down the rows with 10/22's and the t6 is the least pain in the behind stock i've run into, the archangel is a pita to clean, as you basically have to take the entire rifle down to clean it. the sr-22 is the same way, but is aluminum and not plastic, so it's got a chance in heck of surviving a little better. it also depends on how you're going to barrel your weapon, as some stocks work better or worse with bull/fluted tapered barrels.
