Howdy all, lifelong Ruger user here but a nube to 10/22s. Bought a plain carbine cheap at a big box about a year ago and started replacing things with my leftover "fun money" each month, exploiting sales. Got it together about 2 weeks ago and it's now probably the most fun rifle I've ever owned save maybe for my favorite muzzleloader. Might still replace the bolt, which would then leave the receiver as the sole remaining original part.
Which leaves me now with a box full of parts that just needs a receiver to become a complete rifle. I'd like to find a beater receiver, DuraCoat it, add TS100 sights and a pair of swivel studs, and take it to an Appleseed weekend. Any ideas on where to find beat up receivers?
