    I am not sure but there are 2 things you can do. Stock, stocks are very cheep and easy to find. Buy one and cut it down may be cheeper then an aftermarket youth stock.

    This is the one a lot of people frown at but Tapco makes a very nice 10/22 stock for about $70 that uses adjustable AR style stocks. They work. I have one and love it, thinking about buying another one.

    Yes, actually:

    http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=16635&title=RUGER~ 10/22~ YOUTH STOCK

    But so many people buy these and swap out the stocks that like-new standard stocks are available dirt cheap (eg on Flea-bay shipped for under $30).

    So it would be cheaper to just get a new stock and cut it down a bit. Shouldn't be too tough if you have the tools or any skills at woodworking.

    You can use the old plastic buttplate as a guide for shape, a bandsaw to make the cut, sand the new surface, then refinish with stain and tru-oil. If you are careful, you can even inlet the top and reinstall the old plastic buttplate, though you may need to dremel it down a bit around the edges to fit.

    Ruger makes a factory "Compact" model of the 10-22. It has a shorter barrel and stock than the standard 10-22.

    Length of pull on the compact is 12.5"

    My buttplate is metal. It must be a very old model.

    I just bought one of these "compact" models. I'll sell you the stock for a fair price. PM sent with phone #.
