AND the BX trigger should have become standard after it was developed.
BX made a world of difference when I did mine about 2 years ago. Good move by Ruger
)))))))))
Guess I can now drill the rest of my 10/22 receivers. Anyone have a picture of the drilled area? Wondering how Ruger does it.

This would be your best bet for the best alingment

Someone I work with was saying he read that the new 1022 receivers were polymer

Someone here posted that too I think. Not happening (I hope).
I may have to buy my first 10-22.
That's $50 + tax and shipping I'm probably not going to spend. It's pretty simple. Run a cleaning rod down the barrel and mark where it touches the back of the inside of the receiver. Measure and transfer to the outside and drill your hole. It doesn't have to be super accurate, just close enough that it doesn't force the cleaning rod against the side of the chamber. IIRC at one time someone somewhere posted the measurements to locate the hole.
I was mostly interested in how large a hole Ruger drilled and if they did anything unusual like maybe chamfering the hole.

Yeah, after I bought two of them this year. Thanks Ruger.

Honestly you could probably drill a 1/2" diameter hole in the back of the receiver and it wouldn't hurt anything.
Another example of Ruger introducing a “new” model so that they can lower the MSRP of the variant and start selling 10/22’s again. MSRP’s have gotten out of hand across the Ruger line and this seems to be the way they are justifying lowering their MSRP’s.
A plastic stocked 10/22 with the BX trigger and other benefits for a much lower MSRP….

I don't see it. Would that also be called the ejection port for use with a bore snake???
Probably. I've only done one and I don't remember which one or what size drill bit I used. It might have been this one.

I prefer my refinished birch stock and swapped in metal trigger with all aftermarket guts. Yes, I have more than doubled my cost and spent 80 hours on it but it's better than a plastic stock plastic trigger thing that still has a marginal trigger.

I cheated and got a take down 
I watched the video on their web site but they don’t show the hole. It’s about time they offered some of other options but it ain’t much. But I guess they are trying. One of the best 22’s out there if you like to tinker!

I'd be OK with a 'polymer' receiver for the 10/22. I have several AR15's running on polymer 'lowers' w/o any issues at all. Sure, they have their limitations but doesn't everything?
It's been a while since I've had a 10/22 so I have the "new" one on the way. Of course, I'll probably end up putting a Magpul stock on it, but it's only money. LOL
Update: I picked up my "new" 10/22 w/threaded barrel yesterday and I was surprised at how small it was. It could almost be classified as a "youth" gun. Luckily, I had the Magpul Hunter stock at the ready and quickly installed same. I used all the provided LOP shims, and what a game changer. It now feels like a "real" gun and looks great to boot. Oh, and the included BX trigger is wonderful.

Guns? What guns?
13. Drill a 1/4" hole in the rear of the receiver centered about .300" below the top edge of the receiver to be used to clean the bore from the chamber end. Cleaning from the muzzle will often damage the critical crown and last inch of bore.

I have that jig and probably would loan it out.
Would be much more impressed if Ruger managed to make the new versions reliable and somewhat accurate.
Running about 50/50 turds to ok stuff with them.
Not kool.

I'm still waiting/hoping for an 80% 10/22 receiver.

Spray paint and ugly as hell plastic stocks...........NEVER for me.........Glad all mine have wood or laminate stocks..............
All depends on one's 'use parameters'.

"Iffen cheaper is what you dig..............GO for it."
What I 'dig' is utility and usefulness. A synthetic stock and stainless threaded barrel increase both. For some of us, guns are TOOLS first and foremost.
I generally have a gun either in my hand or within reach all day every day. Guns in use under any/all conditions need to be robust and resilient rather than cute and glittery.

I never damaged a barrel with aluminum cleaning rod. Last I heard it's not as hard as steel.
