Home Built 10/22 receivers

 Building a gun from scratch is one freedom we still enjoy here in America, it is perfectly legal to build a gun from scratch, as long as you don't do it with the intent to sell it or perform the work for someone else without 1st obtaining a manufacturing license.

This post is about those people who decided to make their own receivers from scratch.

There have been quite a few lately that have crafted their receivers on a 3D Printer.

Here is one made like the Zip Gun

This one was made of cast aluminum

Some choose craft their receivers from raw material like brass, see the whole story on rimfirecentral

The one below is the creation of Sebastian Unger from Austria, he wanted to create a 10/22 receiver that would allow for cleaning without completely taking the rifle apart, see more here

This one is from the Home gunsmith forum, he started with some 1.25" square steel tubing

The builder machined front and rear trunnions (like an Kalashnikov rifle)

The finished product

He added a second take down screw, making the assembly rock solid

Here is one I am working on
