The Most Interesting 10/22s

 

In my years of researching all things 10/22, I have come across some very interesting 10/22s and Chargers, I thought I would post some of them here.

The Full Auto conversions always got my attention, the amount of machining and ingenuity required makes these very interesting.

Custom made stocks are awesome, especially when executed with the detail like the one below 

SBRs also get my attention

There are so many ways to paint your 10/22, here is a Cerakoted one from Magpul, a tribute to the neon decade I assume.

Anodizing is a skill I hope to learn soon, look at what can be done....

Another great and quite interesting Cerakote job in safety orange

Once I had my own SR-22 I went in search of SR-22 porn and was not disappointed, check out this suppressed SBR

Another bullpup, while interesting in design, it isn't going to win any beauty contests

The guy who designed this stock for his 10/22 built many types of homemade/modified stocks. This one was a tribute to the cavalry carbines of the late 19th century. Which is what inspired the M-1 Carbine and thusly the 10/22.

I was so taken by the project above that I decided to build one of my own, I added a few touches like a saddle ring from a Krag Carbine, I also added a receiver mounted peep site, sling mounts from an SMLE rifle (with a homemade sling from an old 1.5" wide belt) and an extended mag release. I then blued the bolt and added a brass charging handle. See this project here.

Stippling can be overdone, easily overdone, this owner got it right, he stippled the grip and the bottom of the stock, they then added the Ruger blackhawk logo for a nice effect.

Another item that always grabs my attention is homemade receiver; this one is made of brass and only vaguely resembles a Ruger factory receiver. The builder also crafted his own stock, Mannlicher style with brass crescent but plate, forend tip and forward sling swivel

This one was interesting, a removeable top plate for easy cleaning, maintenance and repair.

Not actually 10/22 rifles, but 10/22 Chargers, designed to look like a pirate pistol

This is a themed gun, with some unique carvings in the stock.

You don't see too many 10/22 receivers that are engraved, so that makes this one interesting just for that reason.

Another bullpup, this one styled after the Steyr AUG only in wood.

Another one I built myself, this is my Continental Project, using a factory walnut "International" stock (Mannlicher style), with a Kingston Armory steel receiver, factory 18.5" tapered barrel (both with a high polish blued finish) and a Pike Arms anodized aluminum trigger housing. I also made my own take down screw. Check out the project here.
