I’ve had this 10/22, for about eleven years, and it’s been sitting pretty dormant in my safe, for about 9 of those. That is, until last year…
This year and last, I decided to jump into the NFA world. 8 tax stamps later, I have three 22 suppressors that needed hosts. My 10/22 didn’t come with a threaded barrel, but I read how easy it is to change barrels. The first one was a Ruger barrel, that was threaded and very reasonably priced. Installation was a snap! I was hooked! The more I dove into the rimfire world, the more changes I wanted to make. The barrel, the trigger, the stock, a red dot, a scope, a better barrel, and now, a more powerful scope. Damn I love these things! Now I can really see why there’s so many people that go nuts over them. And now, I am..
Anyway, I’m done boring you, if I haven’t already lost ya. LOL
My build: Ruger receiver/bolt, Ruger BX-22 trigger, Magpul BX Hunter stock, a Beyer 16.5” threaded barrel, an Athlon Midas HMR 2.5-15x50 MOA scope, and of course, a SilencerCo Sparrow. It took 2 shots (bottom target) to sight the brand new scope in. After that, I sent two groups of 10, into 2 ragged holes, at 30 yards, with one flyer, on me. I was bag supported, only in the middle. I know, that if this thing was in a sled, it would most assuredly be a laser! This Beyer barrel is freakishly accurate!
