Worst rimfire mod I ever made; over doing it with my 10/22 on the cheap. The 10/22 is a basic carbine model and wood stock that I bought from Bass Pro with 4X Bushnell Banner scope out the door for $210 14+ years ago. It shot well - but I just had to mess with it! I bough a no-name replacement barrel because it was threaded at the end. Accuracy went to hell. Mistake 1. Then I got a Choate folding stock for it; well made but I hated it. The Choate has a fore stock that clamps on to the barrel. Stupid. Mistake 2. Ended up putting the original barrel back on and getting a flat dark earth ATI FAB stock that free-floats the barrel. Finally shoots well again, but I should have just left it as it was.
I guess if you are going to fundamentally change your 10/22 do it right and drop an extra $1000 for high quality barrel / parts / stock. O/W just leave it.
One 10/22 mod I did like was to use a Volquartsen trigger kit upgrade.
