Promag Archangel QBD for Ruger 10/22

[Underdog 1,593]

Does anybody have any experience with this new stock that converts a standard Ruger 10/22 to a take-down Ruger?.   What a great idea; It looks pretty neat.  it would be really cool if it could hold extra magazines in the stock, and if they eventually came out with a wooden or "over-molded" variety.   One vender has the "on sale" for about $110 dollars... I always wanted a take-down 10/22 and this is a lot cheaper, and supposedly a smaller package, than the standard 10/22 take-down variety and seems to float the barrel and can be used with a carbine or heavier target barrel.

Link?

im not sure I can do the take down. I had to freeze my barrel to install it. Plus 

the locking dovetail thing

You had to freeze your barrel to take it off the receiver?  What is the locking dove-tale thing?   Are we talking about the same stock from Promag?  Do you have a standard Ruger?

Standard with a match barrel.

if you have a standard , remove the barrel and action from the stock. Invert and look at where the barrel meets the receiver.

( freeze to install, it’s a trick. )

@Scorpio64 has shot that gun. It’s a tack driver

I installed a QBD stock on a stock Ruger 10/22 stainless carbine and it functions nicely.  Not much bigger than say an AR-7 when folded and quite reliable to boot.  The stock doesn't feel cheap, and is more than fair quality for what it is.  Old Glory "engraved" on the plastic stock is pretty sweet, too.  Clicks together nicely and feels solid when assembled.   It zeroes nicely with an optic installed (but that does make its overall footprint larger.  Now it needs a dedicated case.  The stock is thin, but it might have been nice to have a way of storing an additional magazine some how.  Maybe there isn't a need, but there wasn't any way to attach a sling if you choose to go that route.   Overall, I like it, and I love the fact that 10/22s have flush magazines.  It would be really cool if Promag came out with a wood version, but that would make it more heavy.
