The Ruger 10/22 SR-22 Project







Happy Ruger Day Everyone!

Here is a quick project I put together after I found a screaming deal on a Ruger SR-22 Chassis kit. Below is what I bought for $60, it was not 100% perfect, but in pretty damn good shape for the money.





I decided to fit my first 10/22 (2008 vintage) into this chassis. While I was happy with the ATI stock, I much preferred the aluminum SR-22 stock (made by Nordic Components).




I decided that I wanted to get a factory threaded 16" barrel, I would have had to remove the sights to install a standard barrel anyway, so I purchased this factory take-off barrel from S&P Outfitters


I also swapped out the factory extended mag release for this longer extended one I had in my parts bin



I also swapped the bolt for one that I had polished the internals and  blued


I used this JWH parkerized charging handle that I had in my parts bin





I reinstalled everything in the new chassis, including the scope and universal bayonet lug....

All done:






Specs:
Receiver & Barrel: 2008 factory receiver; factory take-off 16" barrel, threaded
Frame/Chassis: Factory Ruger SR-22
Trigger Assembly: Trigger & Action job performed, unkown aftermarket mag release and JWH charging handle
Scope: Tasco 3-9x40 lighted reticle
VFG: Knights Armament





On to the next project!

  1. That's a nice looking build. How did you do the bolt bluing?

  2. I reblue gun parts all the time, I have my own tanks (heated by propane burners) and mix my own bluing salts
