    They are like the 350 Chevrolet of guns. Untold numbers of add on parts so you can "customize" it yourself. They aren't bad guns, I love mine. Loved it before it was upgraded and after.

    I cannot get my arms around that "cattle drive" stock. Sorry but I think it is very ugly. The rest of the gun is nice and I like the Hogue overmolded stocks.

    The RUGER 10/22 is the #1 selling 22 smiautomatic 22, even with thir 6-lb. Trigger and their stove-pipeing.
    After they go through My shop they have a Crisp-smooth 2-1/2lb. Trigger, and I have never had one to stove pipe, My system makes a sweet little Rifle of them. and Un-limited Stocks and Barrels can be had for them.It is not hard to spend $12 to $1500.00 on one.I have stocks that cost $600.00 and Barrels that cost $500.00 each.
    I know of others that Up-Grade them.But I have saw no other do a complete job.and not manny that is willing to pay for a complete job.
    The Big quistion is how much less thern a complete job will You be Happy with.?

    I'm in complete agreement with you. for some unknown reason I have a few, and they do little to nothing for me. I personally wouldn't spend a dime to improve one. I'll take the little take down Browning any day over a 10/22!

    I really like my Marlin 99C from 1964. It lack the "cool" factor and is not "tactical," but it shoots every time, and is accurate enough.

    You state that You can Customize it Your self complete job can NOT
    be done with-out an Milling Machine.and How Manny of You have a milling machine or even no how to use one.
    I know that there are lots of after market parts that are CALLED DROP-INS. If that is ALL that You want, then Go for it.
    As for Me I want a complete overhall.

    Joe, All the parts you take off the original rifles could be sold for some serious cash either here or on other auction sites.

    I would think you have a bunch of barrels, trigger parts, old stocks and bolts.

    I'd like to see your milling machine Joe. Post a pic of it.

    As for 22s, I have a Browning semi-auto that is a great shooter. It also belonged to my great-grandfather. My 10/22 is just a fun gun. I customized it the way I wanted it and I have no problem slinging it over my shoulder and going on a hike. I'm not worried about it getting scratched or dinged. It is a work horse.

    I gave my only .22 auto rifle away to my son for Christmas. Figure if I need an automatic I will use my Ruger target auto pistol for shooting up to 50yd. Maybe someday I will buy another auto rifle but right now I shooting single shot or bolt actions.

    Joe, I've seen a few drop in parts that greatly improved the 10/22 platform both in reliability and accuracy. Speaking of the job not being able to be done without a milling machine, do you do any work to improve the chambers in your aftermarket barrels?

    I always check them, and if they have an Bentzx Chamber and need work
    then I do not want them, and Return them to the Maker.If I had a Fluteing Machine than I would just buy in Bulk and Make My own.as I
    can chamber a .22 LR
    I require all My Barrels to be with-in Match Tolerances.
    If You are going to build, and I do not care what that You build, then You should set You up an Tolerance sheet, Thern make sure that
    every thing stays with-in that Tolerance.
    If You will set a Tolerance for Your work. the make surte that everthing stays within then You will not have problems laster.

    10/22 Gunsmith Notes: Ruger 10/22 barrels are cut with a standard SAAMI .22 reamer which cuts .062" too deep. Production speed machine reaming often leaves burrs in throat and chambers not concentric to bore. Aftermarket barrels have tighter, shorter chambers (sometimes too tight) than the SAAMI print but seldom short or concentric enough for maximum accuracy.


    That's why I asked. I good builder would correct these issues. A parts replacer won't.

    Joe, the Ruger 10-22 is not the most popular if you base it on numbers sold. The Marlin model 60 is...... Number built over 11 million, 1960 - present


    Ruger Produced 1964-present
    Number built over 5 million
