2 New 10/22 Builds you can never have to many

[Edward78]

I bought this one stock because I got a good deal on it but had no real use for it but recently I decided I wanted a light hunting setup. I used to only have long barreled 10/22's but have took a liking to the shorter barrels lately. This was built out of odd parts I had from other builds except the barrel a bought for the build.

Ruger Receiver and TG
CPC Worked Bolt
VQ extractor
Power custom Hammer
VQ bolt release
RT bolt buffer
GM 16.5 fluted SS Barrel
Leupold VX-1 3-9X40 Scope

This 10/22 used to have a 20 GM Sporter Barrel on her but the stock was opened up for a heavy taper barrel when I bought it.

Ruger Receiver and TG Graphite Black Cerakote by Hoosier Gun Coat
Kidd Bolt
VQ Buffer, Release, and Hammer
GM 17" Heavy Taper Barrel SS
Leupold 3-9X33 VX-II EFR

Those are beautiful Ed!

Trying to figure out what to do with my next 10/22 build or just build the same one I have now. (I really like it.)

I have only had one previous to these 2 and it shot great very accurate with most ammo and for the money you can beat them plus there are so many different models it is hard not to find one you would like. I just received these 2 today and hope to get to the range this weekend if the weather holds out if not I will have plenty if time next week to shot I work for the Government and we are all on vacation next week.

GM's are as accurate as you're going to get without shelling out some serious cash.

More accurate than me. More accurate than my ammo. Can you tell I'm a fanboy?

I ordered one of these to replace the Airsoft version I hacked together.

Im building my son 10/22 for his bday . He will be 10 april 21st was thinking either a GM or Tactical Solutions for light weight . The only thing i was concerned with the TS is the steel sleeve bore in aluminum the different expansion rates of the different metals . will it loosen up when it gets hot.

I have not personally owned a TS Barrel but have heard they are very good barrels and have never heard any problems with the Steel Sleeve inside the aluminum. I plan to build a 10/22 with a silencer and will be using a TS Barrel for the wight reduction and they can be bought with a threaded muzzle. Now if you Want something real accurate Get a VQ Carbon wrapped or a Kidd Aluminum Wrapped barrel they are both light and the best of the best when it comes to accuracy. The 16.5" fluted GM barrel I have in the top picture is a very light barrel and on the cheaper side.

They are a 1 piece base and rings made by Wiegand. They are very nice rings but cost a few $.

Those are sharp looking rifles, the stock on the second is nice. Do you have any
suggestions on replacing trigger group? My 10/22's trigger isn't what I want.

Kidd is the hot trigger group, but it's pricey. I have a Volquartsen TG2000 trigger group, and am really happy with it.

Very nice.
