10/22 Project Finally Finished

[AzShooter1]

Top pic is as the gun was given to me. Ruger 10/22 with Clark 20 inch barrel and Simmons 8 X 34 scope. Trigger was stock and toughed off at 6.5 pounds as measured with my Lyman Digital Scale. Accuracy is fantastic.
It's very heavy and I wanted to lighten it up.

Picture 2, I think it's complete: Tactical Solutions 16 inch barre. ( 5 inches of rifling ) false silencer. C-More Railway red dot sight, BX trigger ( 2.5 - 3.3 pounds) still too knew to get an exact reading.

Build was pretty simple except taking off and reinstalling the barrels. Very tight so I used the method Volquartsen show by using a heat gun to heat up the receiver and then putting the new barrel on. Took a lot longer than I thought and a little encouragement with a rubber mallet to get the barrel in all the way.

Wrong pictures, I believe.

Corrected. Thanks.

Those pictures show up on my screen as single action revolvers

That's quite an improvement, looks great.

Looks good.

I have two of those barrels from TacSol, one like yours and one for my Take-Down model... both perform quite well... even with my YHM Stinger attached.

Thanks, that's good to know. I still can't believe he just gave it to me.
I'm checking my safe to see what I can donate to a new shooter to help them get started.
We all have so much stuff that we've upgraded from. Time to pay it forward.

It looks really good.

Did the accuracy improve with the different trigger and barrel?

I bought one of those Tactical Solutions barrels a while back.

They are nice, very lightweight.

Groups are what I would expect at 25 with a red dot sight and 12 MOA dot. Just a pad in the center of the rifle, no front or back pad.

It functions well except I had a few FTFs. Normal with Bulk ammo.

I'm happy with it and can't wait until my first match in two more weeks.

Here's what I grouped today.
