10/22 Porn

[SpeedyR]

since you guys are all into the 10/22 is there a good way to stone or clean up the triggers on the rifles without going thru someone like brimstone or something? Since I have a couple of them it would be nice to buy a fixture or something and see if I can fix them up myself. Anything like that out there, or just send it off and spend the money?

something like this:

(if you look there's a 10/22 complete fixture for $160, and for about $25 you can add additional pistol/rifle adapters...)

Home trigger job is something I know can be done but have not done myself. On my to learn list.

Yea... that's for sure.

I don't have it put together yet. Waiting on a couple more parts to arrive. Should have a finished product by Monday. I'll list the Bill of Materials, but I'm definitely not going to add it all up.

Ok, wish me luck everyone! I'm taking my new baby out for it's virgin trial!

I'm still not too sure about my scope choice! It's bad-ass and all, but...

Range report later...

I’ll be building one around this as soon as it comes in (4-6 weeks). I’ve already got the Kidd trigger and I’m thinking Feddersen for the barrel and a Boyd’s At-One stock.

After only a 4-shot sight in procedure (top left in quad pic), here's what my new gun is doing right now. Can't wait to get outside and shoot it at 50 - 100 yards. Look out Mr. Groundhog!

These were at 50 feet bulls eye distance.

I measured the factory trigger in my new 10/22 build shown above and was not a bit surprised to find the average pull to be over 7 lbs. Average was 7 lb. 10 oz. to be exact. That's a load by any standards... so I decided to take it apart and put the hand file and dremel to work. After a lot of fine filing, I was able to get it down to an average of 3 lb. 8 oz. which is much, much better than it was before, but not quite where I want it to be.

Since I got it all back together, I'll wait another few days and a couple hundred rounds to give it another adjustment on the trigger. I want to stay completely Ruger on the components if I can help it. I think after one more filing and buffing session I should be able to achieve the 2 lb. pull that I'm after.

In spite of the heavy pull, this thing is a dream to shoot. My pistol too, for that matter. I put 10 rounds out of each into a dime-size hole today and it's only going to get better as I keep tweaking both. I actually put a riser on the pistol to get the sight up higher, so the group is a bit low, but it's still right on the money!

Final Bill of Materials:
Ruger factory receiver
Ruger factory trigger (work in progress)
Custom SS threaded dowel magazine release.
Phase 5 HexOne buffer tube
Phase 5 Universal Mini Stock
PMACA Chassis
KIDD 16.5" match stainless threaded bull barrel
KIDD silver scalloped bolt
KIDD bolt buffer
KIDD V-block and screws
Ruger charging handle (old one with embossed logo)
Timber Creek Enforcer pistol grip (customized to fit)
Timber Creek Enforcer forward grip
Midwest Industries 10/22 mounting rail
Nikon P-Series 1" scope mounts
Nikon P-Rimfire Nikoplex rifle scope

Hope you enjoyed sharing in my little venture. Headed to the range now...

New In Box / Unfired 40th Anniversary Model. Even the magazine is still new in the package. I shoot most of my firearms but this one will stay new in the box.
