I was in a gun and pawn shop (they sell both new and used guns) today and noticed a 10-22 that was 100% covered in ACU camo. Barrel, action, and stock. Is this a factory option or 'custom job'? Price was sort of OK @ $300 including a cheap dot optic.
10-22 question
- Thread starter Mobuck
- Start date
I think that was a factory issue, maybe more than one depending on the style of camo,

The only current factory model I see with camo on the barrel is #01285, THE SHOOTING STORE DISTRIBUTOR EXCLUSIVE. If not this one they very well could have had a different dealer model.

I've never seen one but that's possible. My bet is that a previous owner painted it. For $ 300 I'd probably by it as a project gun if everything is sound. Especially since it comes with optics.
OP
Yeah, in after-thought, I should have bought it. Hittman, it's the first pawn shop west of the river.

I have two factory plastic stocks in two different camo colors

The OP was asking about the stock, the action & the barrel all being camo, not just the stocks.
OP
^^The ACU camo scheme was uniform over stock, barrel, and action. Even the flash hider was covered. The only part not coated was the $29.99 dot optic. This is why I think it was not factory applied.

I have a 10/22 takedown on order. I looked at the web found one that was modified with a binary trigger. The video also has a modified trigger that is fully automatic. Probably not legal in many states but looking at this little 10/22 with a 25 round banana clip firing like a small machine gun in impressive if anything!
The ammo being used is important and quality CCI type is a must.
Still can not believe it is a 10/22
Hope it is okay to post here

The binary trigger is great for wasting ammo. As far a full auto, such modification would require an NFA stamp to be legal ANYWHERE in the US.

Have to say I never saw a 10/22 have this capability. Just with the banana clip and normal trigger it still a viable weapon

Run the serial number on Ruger's serial number lookup page and let us know what it comes back as. There have been a few dozen different camos that are factory.

These two factory 10/22 digital camo’s came out in 2008. Only have the white and green one left.

Nice did you end up getting it
OP
NOPE, it's 125 miles away and I'm not going back that way. hittman is closer.
A Full Auto 10-22 made after 1986 can only be possessed by an FFL/SOT4. They cannot be transfered out to an ‘individual’. And a Full Auto 10-22 would hav had to hav been registered before ‘86 to make it transferable. I bet there are very very few ‘legal’ FA 10-22’s out there
