Ruger 10/22

Featured Replies

No rimfire forum is complete without a 10/22, so here is a picture of my wife's.

The stock is from Richards Microfit.

 

The total cost was probably about $500. We did not go crazy which is easy to do with a 10/22. New stock, barrel scope and mount. The best mod by far is the Tactical Solutions Mag release.

 

The only isssue is my wife is right handed,left eye dominant. So she shoots rifles left handed.

Here's mine. Accuracy work done by Connecticut Precision.

That, my friend, is eye sex. :shock:

 

Specs? Cost?

Thanks. I spent a lot of time on Rimfire Central before putting this together.

 

It started as a 10/22T. I sent it to Connecticut Precision for their three step tune up described below,

 

 

10/22 Gunsmith Notes: Ruger 10/22 barrels are cut with a standard SAAMI .22 reamer which cuts .062" too deep. Production speed machine reaming often leaves burrs in throat and chambers not concentric to bore. Aftermarket barrels have tighter, shorter chambers (sometimes too tight) than the SAAMI print but seldom short or concentric enough for maximum accuracy.

 

CPC designs its own reamers for the 10/22 called CPC Freebore chamber for ideal function and accuracy. Setback is .187" to .250" on breech end. The newly cut area on barrel shank is oversize for a 'line to line' tight fit into the receiver stabilizing the two parts. A steel spacer is cut and hand fit into the barrel lockdown cut to insure proper retightening. CPC fits a reamer pilot to the exact bore size and re-reams each barrel by hand. New chamber throat and crowns are cut concentric to bore within .0002".

 

Customer results at 50 yards: .25 to .56".

 

RUGER 10/22 FULL TUNE-UP LR, includes 3 items:

 

1. TRIGGER JOB

* 2.0 - 2.4 lb trigger pull

* Trigger and hammer side shims

* Trigger overtravel screw

* Forward anti-creep/slack screw

* Auto-bolt release conversion

* Single stage pull reworked to be as crisp as possible

* Oversize receiver pins installed to tighten trigger group

* Extended magazine release installed

2. BARREL SETBACK & CROWN

* CPC will accurize aftermarket barrels, bull or sporter. Examples - Clark, Midway, A&B, Butler Creek, Houge, Shilen, Ruger T, Green Mountain, Kimber, Whistle Pig, etc, (.22 L.R. or .17 HM2). Stainless or Blue

* Ends of blued barrels are re-cold blued

* Setback breech end by .187 to .250". Shorten chamber, recut barrel shank oversize to fit receiver hole perfectly

* CPC semi-auto match freebore chamber reams until a Winchester Power Point, Eley, or CCI bullet lightly sticks. These are used as gauges since all .22 L.R.s will work except some longer .22 Hyper-velocity's.

* Chamber polish

* Recut extractor groove

* Fit new spacer into barrel's lock cut

* Cut new 11

I really enjoyed reading that, especially with me working in a machine shop. There's some beautiful work done to that rifle. I'd love to own a precision machine like that some day.

 

Congrats and enjoy!
