It's That Day Again - 10/22

[Blackmore]

60 years young and still going strong.

One of my favorites from the long line of these.



And the stainless version.

My 'go to' gun store is having "Ruger day" sales. Their web site sends me daily 'sale' items.

WOW! That would take whole box of cartridges just to load one round in each of those! Does that constitute a "New York reload?"

I'm not much of a hand with a rifle, but here is my lone 10/22:

Well Bob, for only one it’s a good one.
I’ve got a few and always looking for another interesting one.
I think JAYDAWG may be a top runner for the mostest.
Happy Ruger Day to all!

 

[BULL'S-EYE]

I'm fortunate to own a few myself...Not nearly as many as JAYDAWG though!
I DID take my personal favorite out today after work, and ran a few mags through it to celebrate the occasion!

 

[Watertender]

Here are a few. They are great.

 

[JAYDAWG]

Ya,
I tend to have a problem with the "anything in moderation" fantasy......
Love those 10-22's!!

Cheers,
JAYDAWG

Another Ruger 10-22 that I made up from parts. The stock is an Altamont and the barrel is 16.125" with the threaded muzzle protector staked in place with a center punch. I put in a BX trigger as well. This is the handiest 10-22 that I have. It swings like a dream and the sights line up quickly.

[TINCANBANDIT is back]

I have 13 10/22s and a couple of receivers waiting to be built. I bought 6 of the steel receivers left over from Kingston Armory.

Here is my favorite

Kingston Armory receiver and factory 18" barrel, both polished to a 5000 grit finish and blued in hot salts. The stock is a newer walnut international, the trigger housing is a Pike Arms anodized aluminum one (which they no longer sell in anodized black)

Just one left in my safe…bought it new in 1977:

JAYDAWG, What is with the vent rib on the middle rifle in your first pic?

If you have a Weaver 4X scope on that I would swear it’s my rifle.
My daughter’s birthday is on 10/22. I never made the connection.

 

[eveled]

Is October 22nd Rugers actual Birthday? I can’t find any old documentation of that.

JAYDAWG, What is with the vent rib on the middle rifle in your first pic?

It is a custom built 10/22 by Chief AJ, he called it the instinct shooter. He came up with the idea shooting clays from a tower.
The rib was cut off of of a shotgun and epoxied to the 10/22 barrel by his son-in-law in Anchorage AK. He did six barrels like this.
The chief's wife painted the warrior on the stock.
Information taken from "THE EXPLOITS OF CHIEF AJ" by Chuck Vaughn, and from conversations with Chuck.
A few more pics.

Strange but cool.
