I picked up a 10/22 last week and the lets make it better disease has all ready set in. First mods going to be the bolt release and buffer bolt, What a crazy design that is, I thought I broke it the other day at the range. If you have any tips please chime in.

Really considering doing the Tech sights and M1 Carbine clone stock..

Depends on what you want it to do. Bull barrel if you want it to be a tack driver and some Volquartsen parts. Taticle solutions has some very nice parts and stocks that work well for steel shooting.  

I'm thinking some trigger work for now, I ordered auto bolt release + a buffer bolt to start the ball rolling.

Well, first off - throw some volquartsen trigger parts in there and get a nice crisp trigger first off

 

but the big question is what you want to do with it, resulting in one big important factor.... Weight.

 

Do you want a bench gun for sitting on a bipod and plinking away at 100 yards? or do you want an fast action gun for games like speed on steel.

 

i initially set mine up for bench stuff, and it shows... I have the heavy houge over moulded stock on it, and a 920 bull barrel, .. the gun, is very heavy. While it's still good for shooting fast, there are more suitable options for fast transitions.

 

There are alot of super light weight stocks, carbon fiber stuff, sleeved barrels.. JonF built a few .22 rifles that probably weigh less then a pound.

Just did the auto bolt release+ buffer bolt, That was easy just waiting on a vol hammer. Installed the hammer. Cleaned up the over spray in the receiver and polished the bolt lightly. I must say the trigger is sweet and the action is smooth. can't wait for a range trip.

eabco.com has good prices on these and they look good.

thx.. Just checked it out.. It does look like a very nice set

Get on rimfire central. Get the trigger to brimstone or swamp fox. Send the bolt to Que or do the bolt yourself. You already did the buffer, that's good.

Next steps? A Vq exact edge extractor, and a trigger kit of some sort.

 

Imo the higher priced Clark kit is good bang for the buck. Beyond that, save the pennies for a complete trigger pack.

 

 

Or do all of the above and build one of these.

Silverado, if you'd like to try out a 10/22 with either a swampfox trigger or a brimstone trigger and bolt mods to compare them to your stock trigger and you're nearby then you're more than welcome to shoot mine. I'll even supply ammo.

I'll have to look into the bolt release. I'm not a fan of my 10/22 sights either.
