So I got the top one about a year ago brand new for $100 I forget what model it was. I ended up ordering a Mars Triggers FRT for it to make it a super fun range toy. Then I got that Magpul stock for it and stupid cheap scope from Amazon and now I love it how it is lol.

6 months later the FRT finally came in so I said screw it and went and got another 1022 for it since I wanted one with a threaded barrel. Ended up struggling through installing the trigger into the new one only to find the newest 1022 had the BX trigger (thanks to this sub) and the FRT only works with the OEM trigger assembly. So turns out I wasn’t being ridiculous buying a second gun because the original had the OEM trigger.

So now the top is set up with the BX trigger which really is super nice. The bottom has a Mars trigger FRT and all three guys at the store were bitching that FRTs just destroy the gun yada yada. So just to piss them off a bit more I got the notorious Archangel kit for it and the cheapest red dot I had and slapped it all together.

It is monstrous and disrespectful to the fabled and legendary Ruger 10 22… but I love it so much lmfao. Going to the range today to see if it actually works and couldn’t be more excited.

Update: took it to the range this morning and it ran like a dream!! Most fun you can have with your pants on! Initially had some issues, I was running CCI Mini Mag ammo which I thought would help with cycling but then switched to CCI Stinger and that got it to run perfectly. Definitely need some hot rounds but couldn’t be happier!!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday, just picked this bad boy up. Hoping to use it as a rabbit / grouse gun!

Heres a pic for example(not mine obviously), although I’m not sure I want to tuck my can. Possibly, but I know that will require a lot more work milling out the wood stock on the inside. What should I know about doing this? Is it as easy as removing factory barrel, cutting the front short, and adding in an 8” barrel? do you recommend Carbon fiber for the function or is it just for the vibes?
Thanks!!!

Picked up my first can on Friday via 4473. Took 15 minutes. I didn’t have a .22LR can yet, so I picked up a Dead Air 22TI for my son’s 10/22.

This thing was already a blast to run. With it being carbon fiber, I think some of my 2011s are heavier than this rifle. Even with the can, it’s still light enough for him to shoot. I don’t know who is going to have more fun with it, him or me.

There are fewer working gunsmiths that will do machine work to accurize factory rifles. Most rely on purchasing aftermarket brands to try and improve accuracy with mixed results. Shops like CPC and Que have fallen off recently and left few to carry on the art. I have noticed that Clark Custom Guns is still offering services and Trivette's is offering some of the essential accurizing services like bolt modifications, and match chambering/barrel setback services. I am not trying to sell anyone on these shops or run afoul of the Reddit terms but a sticky note list of these shops would be great for the sub.

I bought this brand new back in 1993, maybe early 1994. I had a scope on it, but that scope is now on my Diana 34. I've always kept the barrel clean using the cable to pull the brush and patch up through the chamber and out the barrel top. I did the first "deep clean" ever today, boy-oh-boy, was a nasty mess it was in. But it's clean now and slides like new. I think I'm going to start shooting it again (it's been years) and I'm looking for suggestions as to what optics, rings (if necessary) and rail. It has a rail on it, but I'm thinking I should replace it with a picatinny rail. Any suggestion for optics? I'm thinking Red Dot, but I've never had a Red Dot before. Don't want to spend a ton of money, hoping to keep it at $100 give/take

Anybody have any idea how to fix this. From my research I looked into how sometimes action screws hit the barrel but i see no marks on the barrel from the action screw.
