| Starting my 10/22 build. Posted by Ice Cream Sammich I got bored the other day and started reading on rimfirecentral.com and looking at 10/22 builds. A few days later I made a half arse post on LA sportsman asking for a cheap used 10/22 as a donor gun. The next morning at 8 AM a guy called and wanted to sell me his. Well, now I have a POS gun that is almost useless. However, the receiver is in pretty good shape so itll do. This gun will be used as a very accurate tree rat gun. It wont ever see a bench because thats just boring for me (being under 100 yards). I know that we have some .22 experts on here and I am hoping to get some advice from yall. If yall would change anything or recommend something else please say so. Thanks. Hogue OM Stock- $55 Hornet BRTR Trigger- $109 Tactical Solutions 16” Barrel- $180 or Green Mountain 18" $170 KIDD Bolt- $100 KIDD Bolt Buffer- $6 KIDD Cocking Assembly- $36 KIDD Bolt Hold Open- $10 Reply Back to Top |
| I have basically everything you listed on mine except I have the Volquartsen trigger. I love mine. I went with the olive stock to be different. You can spend some money in a hurry, that's for sure. I have a 3-9 Leupold on top. Reply Back to Top |
| I was looking at the VQ trigger but I dont want to drop that much money into a trigger group. I need a whole new assembly because mine is completely worn out. So I like the idea of getting the Hornet assembly and that way I can upgrade down the road if necessary. I am actually thinking about the olive stock too. I havent even began to think about optics yet. I am trying to figure out why I bought this POS gun and if I can even use the receiver. The more that I look at it, the more I am concerned that its not even in spec anymore. I broke everything down last night, including the trigger assembly, and cleaned the hell outta it. The bolt is actually very smooth but not butter. Also, everything is loose. I mean its bad. But I plan on sanding the receiver down and giving it some good coats of paint. Hopefully that will help it match up to a new trigger assembly and bolt. Sorry for ranting and raving. Just trying to figure out what the hell im doing. Reply Back to Top |
| Add a TacSol Picatinny scope base to your list. Reply Back to Top |

| Yeah I forgot to add that I'll be getting a scope base too. I am not sure if I need a 20 MOA or a 15 will be okay though. Slash, both the TacSol and GM barrels are fluted. The 1.5" shouldn't make a huge difference in weight but which one would be more accurate? I'll have to take a look at KIDDs bolt hold open. I didn't realize that it's just a modified stock one, thanks. Reply Back to Top |

| So the GM will be hair more accurate but much heavier? The TacSol has great reviews so it's not like they aren't accurate either. Also, I have heard that CCI minimags wont shoot out of some tighter barrels. I have lots of them stocked up so I might want to keep them in mind. Reply Back to Top |
| All that stuff should make a nice rifle. Never heard anything negative about any of it. Reply Back to Top |
| - radius the back of the bolt for easier cycling - 'bed' the action by pinning your stock and receiver together by replacing the trigger group pins with 3/16 binder post screws, requires drilling the stock and receiver This post was edited on 5/8 at 2:07 pm Reply Back to Top |

| the square edge on the back of the bolt where it strikes the hammer to recock. Take your bench grinder and round-off/radius that edge a good bit This post was edited on 5/8 at 2:16 pm Reply Back to Top |

| I have decided on the TacSol barrel. I was unsure wether I should send off the stock bolt to be reworked or get a new one, I am getting the KIDD bolt. I plan bedding the action and possibly radius the action. I was mostly concerned about the Hornet trigger. People on RFC say that its a good trigger but basically a reworked trigger in a stock housing. Exactly what I need. Reply Back to Top |
| This guy did the bolt work on my 10/22. CPC. Reply Back to Top |
| Problem is that my stock bolt is rusted and pitted. I am sure that it can be polished and buffed but I would rather just get a damn good one for $100. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
