Forgive me if I have posted some of these before. I am sharing with the RT group here to inspire others.
These 10/22s become a habit, an obsession. So many ways you can build them
I'll start with my latest one. I found a 16" threaded ER Shaw bull barrel at a gun show for $40, so I decided to put together another rifle. I bought a Hogue Over-molded thumbhole stock for it, used another Kingston Armory steel receiver, a JWH custom bolt, a bi-pod and a Bushnell scope
I had always wanted and international model and so I decided to put a special one together. I took one of the Kingston Armory steel receivers that I bought in the white (bare steel) and gave it a high polished finish, then blued it. I did the same with a new take-off barrel, then I bought an Atomic Arms billet aluminum, anodized trigger housing (looks a lot like the original Ruger aluminum housings) and trigger. I then took a factory bolt and gave it a good polishing (I may go back and jewel the bolt). Anyway here it is
This project started when I found an original Finger Groove Sporter Stock for a reasonable price (I think I paid $75 for it). I didn't have any vintage Ruger parts, so I put it together the same was as the International model above.
If having two of these special edition 10/22s wasn't enough, I bought one of the newer walnut Sporter stocks and put the barreled action from the Finger Groove rifle into it. I then found a vintage barreled action (pre-1970) and pit that into the FGS stock. Here is the trio
