Guest Post: Custom 10/22 Charger Receiver & Chassis

 

It has been a while since we hosted a guest post here. 

One of our local forum members is a machinist. He started by making some 3D printed 10/22 receivers.

I didn't get a lot of detail on how or what he did, mostly just pictures...so I will let the pictures tell the story with minimal commentary.





The receiver was printed in three parts, two sides and a middle section that held the recoil spring boss


The the pieces were fused together I assume? Then the necessary screw holes were drilled and tapped





He didn't like the plastic stocks and he equally disliked the cost of the aftermarket aluminum chassis available.


So he decided to create his own. Here is his CAD rendering of the chassis:



And then he started cutting aluminum:



Trial fit










Testing the fit of the pistol grip




A challenge for any 10/22 stock with a pistol grip is the gap between the grip and trigger guard







A new design with a mounting boss for a folding stock
