10/22 Upgrades

I have some new stuff to share with you . Some of these items are new, some are new to me. None of these were covered in our post last year.

One of the new products introduced in 2016 is the BX25 Clear magazine from Ruger. This is a standard BX-25 magazine, with one side made of translucent plastic so you can check how many cartridges you have left.

And in case you were wondering, you can dye them like the 10 round models

Are you looking for a tactical wood stock, but don't want to shell out a $400+ for an original Ram-line?
Rhineland Arms has what you desire, their walnut Para stock comes unfinished with the option of mounts for an AR stock trunion, a Butler Creek folder or an ACE side folding mechanism. The best part is the price, $55-$66 depending on options

If you have one of the Rhineland Arms stocks or a similar stock that uses an AR type grip, you may be able to fix the unsightly gap between the AR grip and the trigger guard by using this Gapper from Nordic Components

Here is a set of tactical inspired sights for your 10/22 Tacical model from Trueshot Technologies

Another option for an aftermarket 10/22 receivers is now available from Feddersen (1022rifle.com). They are constructed from a Bronze-Nickel Alloy and would be perfect on my 10/22 Spencer Project...well except for the modern looking picatinney rail.

Here is a custom made extended bolt handle from one of the member of the Rimfire Central Forum. The builder used a Choate "Combat Bolt Handle" for a Mossberg 930 shotgun (orientated upside down) he cut a slot in the Ruger bolt handle and welded them together.

There are almost as many different bolt buffers for 10/22s as there are stocks, this one from Sub-Silent Suppressors is a departure from the usual fare. It is a gel filled buffer to keep the noise to a minimum.

TacStar is now offering their 10/22 Adaptive Tactical Stock in some new colors, the pattern is called "Ston" and comes in Coyote (tan), Moss (green/yellow), Lava (red) and Cobalt (blue).

Tandomkross offers this handy titanium thumb screw to replace your take down screw. The slot is large enough to use a quarter as a screwdriver, in the event you tightened it a little too much for your fingers to loosen it.

If you don't care for the aftermarket extended magazine releases, you could make your own using epoxy putty.

See the story on Rimfire Central

 

If you are a tall shooter and need a longer length of pull, you can add some extra length with this extended butt pad, available from Area 51 Tactical

Here is an affordable option for replacing your 10/22 stock, the PMACA 10/22 Lightweight Chassis is machined from 6061-T6 Billet aluminum and accepts AR grips and butt stocks. Several color and size options are available and the price is more than reasonable, see them here

Magpul recently announced its new Backpacker X-22 stock for the Ruger 10/22 Take Down model, it has some interesting features including storage compartments and a barrel/forearm storage system
