Ruger 10/22 .22lr Carbine receiver & Stock Help S.O.S.

[Weight756]

Hello to whoever reads this. I need some help if anyone can, I bought a used Ruger 10/22 .22lr carbine semi-auto Rifle last year and every single mounting thread on my receiver is stripped. From the top to bottom they are so bad nothing will tighten. How do i locate and buy a new receiver without jumping into the Google rabbit hole again i can't find them on the Ruger site. Also last time i tried to put an aftermarket AR stock kit on it but it didn't fit around the receiver so I'm looking one that will fit or another decent Stock to buy that will go with the fluted bull barrel if there's any good suggestions. The Original stock is no longer together.
Thank you.

I just put a 10/22 into this chassis from Jager: https://jagerpmc.com/ruger-1022-rifle-chassis-system-2-piece-black-type-iii-hard-anodized/

Are you looking for a new stock or new receiver??? A new receiver will need to go through an FFL (unless pre-1968).

Could use Heli-Coils to fix the stripped holes. Don't understand how ALL the screws managed to get stripped, that seems like a concerted effort to destroy the part.

Another suggestion, you could drill and tap new holes in the same format as the stock mounting holes just slightly forward or back.
Don’t forget the receiver has the serial number stamped on it which complicates purchase a bit.

Brownells, VQ, and Faxon all offer replacement 10-22 receivers if you want to spend that much. Have you considered just trading the present 10-22 for another that has good threads. This is a far more cost effective option.

One of my bud's picked up a 10/22 cheap due to the same issue. It's the result of idiot's trying to tourqe the steel base mounting screws to ridiculous levels on an aluminum receiver.
I redrilled & tapped his receiver to 8-40 TPI on my milling machine, and redrilled and countersunk the base he wanted mounted to the corresponding screw dimensions. That's really the only option available, as 6-48 helicoils don't exist, and even if the did, they would be a far more expensive and difficult repair than what I done.

Change my answer, I agree with @BULL'S-EYE , didn't realize for some reason the OP was talking about the rail mounting screws on the receiver top. Anything less than 1/4"-20 is a tap to next practical size fix.

Even a pre 68 needs to go thru an FFL. Where did you get the idea it doesn't ? Only pre 1898 doesn't.

Prior to one of the Gun Control Acts, 22 rimfires did not need to have serial numbers.

Do a search for oversized 1022 scope mount screws, someone use to make a kit that included the tap. Sorry I don't remember for sure, but maybe Tactical Innovations

I bought a used 10-22 years ago that Bubba had gotten to. When I pulled the rings off the screws were in place but upon removing them I quickly learned what Bubba had done. He had some sort of epoxy on the receiver and base along with all 4 screws. Don't remember what I did with that one but wished I had not tried to change it because it actually shot fairly decent with the cheap scope that was on it.

But, EVERY 10-22 did.....................

If not mistaken, Brownell's has the oversize screws and tap. A quick call and credit card will have them on the way.

Serial number or not, firearms that are coming from a dealer or across state lines not transferred as part of an estate need to go through an FFL. Anything manufactured prior to January 1st, 1899 is classified as an antique and therefore exempt. FFLs record pre-'68 firearms without serial numbers (not just .22s, good number of inexpensive shotguns and centerfire rifles) as 'NSN' or 'no serial number'.

Serial number is a manufacturer requirement, not a transfer requirement.

Dang, what a mess of a topic!

Prior to 1968 no firearms had to have a serial number

Then how did they register machine guns after 1934??

NFA required a serial number be added if no serial number existed. That marking requirement still applies even to NFA items manufactured on a Form 1 (self-manufacture by an unlicensed individual), unlike the (lack of) marking requirements for personally made firearms.

Do you really want to continue to pursue this line of inquiry here? Maybe do some reading on the topics or start a new thread?

 

[KS25-06]

I thought the real problem was how to fix the receiver. Seems that got lost in the discussion. Order the tap and oversize screws from Brownell's and there is no need for a new receiver. AS GasGuzzler said, you turned a simple question into a real mess.

I yield!!

 

[GasGuzzler]

Thank goodness.

Question asked and answered more than one way and the question did not involve the government, the NFA, or serial numbers.

Many manufacturers serialize their products to determine when they were made. This has been done since the 19th century and before. The federal government did not require it. I guess Auto Ordnance has always done it, it was convenient for the Feds.
