A very good friend gifted me with this Ruger 10-22 after I hinted that I wanted one for Steel Challenge matches. It's equipped with a Clark 16 inch competition .92 barrel, Hogue Over Molded Stock and Simmons 8 X 34 scope. Now I get to buy all the accessories needed for a Speed gun.
I asked the top shooters in my club and they gave me hints. First thing to replace would be the barrel. Something light weight would work best and one of them offered me a TACCOM3G barrel that has 5 inches or rifling and 16 inches of shroud. It weights less than a pound and should be fast on those transitions.
Lots of options on the trigger which should be next. Volquartsen and Kidd were on the top of the list but I don't think I'll be shooting to win since I'm 72 and shoot from a wheelchair. It's all for fun. Next suggested was the Ruger BX Trigger. Guaranteed to be between 2.5 and 3 pounds. I have an old trigger from a build I made 15 years ago and it's 3.3 pounds but I ordered the BX just in case.
I needed 3 more magazines, some springs and mag pouches and found all but the pouches at MidwayUSA.Com.
Next was a new sight. Well, new to the build but I have on hand a C-More Railway with 12 minute dot that will go on the Picatinny rail that I ordered. Notice in the picture the Simmons.
All the parts should be here Thursday. I'm going to the range tomorrow to see how well it shoot in it's current format. Then the transitions will take over. I'm bringing a box of CCI Blazers, Federal 525 pack .36 inch plated bullets, a box of Eley Club, CCI Standard Velocity and Wolf ME. When I'm done I'll put away the barrel, scope and trigger for when I die and give the gun to my friend's daughter.
I'll show off the final results when it's completed.
