Hi guys,

I'm seriously considering getting one of these kits for my 10/22 since I've found one at a half decent price. Here's a link to what I'm talking about: http://promagindustries.com/ruger/41-archangel-nomad-conversion-stock-for-the-ruger-1022.html I also realize that the "flash suppressor included can't be used with it in our illustrious PRNJ, so that won't be an issue. My real problem will be with it's folding style stock design. At this point,I've found plenty of info about pinning a folding telescopic style stock, but how about a true side folding type stock such as this one?  Can anyone offer any general info as to what is the best way to do it? (if it's even feasible)

 

Thanks for any expertise you can offer.

I have a tactile Mini14, the telescopic stock is pinned as well as the folding hinge. Jersey legal now. just a hole drilled with a roll pin in it to prevent it from folding and a second one to prevent from telescoping.

Thank you for that info DeerSlayer.  Having never seen one, other than in photo's, I wasn't 100% sure if that was doable.  I really appreciate your help.

No sweat

Jersey legal.

Stock photo, mine has other goodies on it.

I am also considering the Archangel Nomad.

 

Pinning the stock is something I can do with ease and I can do without the "flash suppresor."

 

Some sites say it ships with a 25 round magazine, some say a 10 round.  If it's a 25, how do you handle that?  Will that instantly raise a red flag?

 

I'm not sure that KramD52 is here anymore, so if anyone knows, lemme know.

 

I'm sure others have been here before -- how do you do this?

 

I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

 

TIA

If you live in NJ you legally cannot possess a 25 round mag so unless you have someone who can pin it to 15 you wouldn't be able to go to any public ranges with it anyway.  They did have another version of that stock package which included a 10 round mag instead of the 25; that was the one that I had originally ordered.  Long story short, stock arrived damaged and was sent back.  I decided that I didn't like it as much after seeing it in person and ended up getting a mannlicher stock for it instead. 

Thanks Kram, I appreciate your answer.

 

I too decided against the Archangel kit in favor of a S&W, M&P 15-22.

 

I may revisit the project in the future because it still intrigues me but four now, I'm smitten with 15-22, its truly amazing.

 

Thanks.
