gun dreams

[Mortblanc]

A word of caution Midnitemo;

The famed 10/22 is not perfect, far from it.

Generally the trigger is crap, and risky to fool with. Trying to piddle with it for better pull does not mean it will go full auto. The way the Ruger is set up messing with the sad trigger will just cause it to fail to reset and render the gun useless.

The chamber is generally overbored to increase reliability at the sacrifice of accuracy. Most of the 10/22 chambers are bored straight through an extra 3/16" and are larger diameter than necessary.

The stock must be machined sloppy so the action will fit into the wood properly. There is no bedding. They simply remove enough wood for the s\action to go into the wood.

The action is secured in the stock by ONE screw and that is located at the front of the receiver. The action flops around in the stock and the barrel bounces around with it. In an attempt to combat this the barrel is given a bedding point at the fore end and secured to it with a barrel band.

After owning several, rebuilding and accurizing several to target quality, including the one I just sold,

I would buy a good bolt action CZ.

Hopefully the .22 is a stepping stone up to a real gun and you will not be stuck with it for long.
