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

This is my tribute to a tribute. A guy who used to build custom stocks came up with the idea of a 10/22 tribute to the old carbines of the late 19th century (Spencer, Sharps, Springfield, Ballard etc)

So I took his idea and ran with it. Starting with a standard beech wood stock, I made it into a straight grip, cut back the barrel band portion and tapered it, then refinished the wood using brown leather dye and Tru-Oil. I blued the bolt, used brass screws, added a saddle ring from a Krag rifle, installed an extended mag release that is reminiscent of the action levers from the old carbines. I then installed sling swivels from an old Enfield and made a sling from an old leather belt. For the sights I used the original brass bead in front and a William Peep in the rear

This one was also inspired by another 10/22 owner. I built a custom pistol grip stock from some scrap poplar and a factory beech wood stock

This rifle was a for a raffle to raise money for our local gun forum, using a 50th anniversary receiver and a vintage walnut stock, we built a pretty nice shooter for the lucky winner

The new take off barrel got a high polished blued finish

I jeweled the bolt and had a laser engraver put the forum's logo on the receiver

This is a complete custom, the stock started as a factory beech wood stock, I cut it down, made a lightweight minimalist butt stock from aluminum with a flip flop for a recoil pad. I added an AK/AR hybrid grip, picatinny rail for the VFG and then a barrel shroud from ABS tubing

Nice work TINCANBANDIT.

This was another project inspired by the guy who got me started modifying 10/22 stocks

This one is a target rifle, home-modified thumbhole stock, polished aluminum and stainless components with a red anodized aluminum trigger thrown in for contrast

This one started when I found a good deal on an SR-22 stock/chassis at a gun show

Just added a factory receiver, a factory threaded 16" barrel, a blued factory bolt (for stealthyness) a universal bayonet lug, scope & low rise mounts, a Knights Armament VFG, aftermarket charging handle and an extended mag release

 

[TINCANBANDIT]

I built this stock for my daughter. a typical 10/22 beechwood stock, I shortened the length of pull, removed material from the butt stock and made a recoil pad from a pink flip flop. Then I dyed the wood with pink leather dye.

You do nice work, well done

You do nice work, well done

Thanks!

I'll get to posting some more of my projects tonight

This next one started out as a modified stock that someone gave me. It was an original walnut stock that some one painted black, then put it on a belt sander and flattened the sides and removed the barrel band section.
So I removed the rest of the black paint, raised the dents, sanded out the imprecations and I had a friend into wood working add some finger grooves on the forend. I then added a factory take-off barrel and a steel Kingston Armory receiver, both got a high polish finish. Then I had a factory aluminum trigger housing and the aluminum butt plate Cerakoted in graphite black. Finally a I added some sling swivels that mimicked the ones used on the original FGS stocks

Here are the before and after pictures:

I love this build. If Ruger would have made a !0-22 in 1901 , this would have been it.
