Starting my 10/22 build.

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.

If you're going to hunt with it, Tac Sol because it's lighter.

You can modify yours with a Dremel tool.

he TacSol and GM barrels are fluted. The 1.5" shouldn't make a huge difference in weight but which one would be more accurate

The GM is a solid steel barrel whereas the Tac-Sol barrel is aluminum with a liner. The GM has a tighter chamber.

- 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

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

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.

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.
