Huntandjeep: what a beautiful job on the 10/22. Yes, the next phases of the project are a new receiver, new trigger group from Volquarsten and the headspace work. I'm a bit away from that from an experience point of view. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated. This is the first such project I have undertaken, other than the modifications I did two years abo to my Mosin Nagant. That gun is due for a more serious set of modifications but that's likely a year away. As far as the gun work stand; yes it is a home made project. I'll include some pictures. I'll give dimensions if anyone is interested.

halfpipe88. Here are some pictures of the home-made gun vise. I'd be happy to give you dimensions and instructions on how its made.

Jekemi I sent out my action to CT-precision.com to have all the work done. He put in an overtravel on the trigger, Set the trigger at 2lb's, Pinned the VQ firing pin ( makes it strike the same place everytime) radiused the actual bolt itself ( so it dosent get hung up in the action) and also jewelled the bolt (for a little more bling  ). There is also a guy on Rimfirecentral.com Username QUE that does bolt work.  When i got my action back i installed the Volquartsen action kit. Which comes with the target trigger, disconnector, aluminum hammer bushings, auto bolt release, extended bolt handle, sear, buffer, trigger plunger (improved radius). It,s also got VQ v-block, extended mag release, and target hammer . I went way overboard on mine ( could have bought a KIDD) but o well it was fun.

Finally found the document on the home made gun vise I was looking for. I've attached the Word doc.

[halfpipe88]

Perfect!  Thanks for digging that up for me!  Sounds like a good weekend project to do if I'm bored!

[Jekemi]

halfpipe88: Well you could always take up reloading. You would never be bored again. Broke perhaps but not bored.

Isn't it interesting what we do to guns. IE: the 10-22 Gun itself $179, take it apart and throw most of it away, Do the the bolt $100, Trigger group $200, Stock $125, Barrel $125 and up, top rail $20, buffer screws and charging handle, Now we have a $700 22 without a scope. Isn't that almost gross?
But isn't it fun to blow away 500 rats a day? JMO

Great looking 10-22!

Let's face it. We love guns, we love to work on guns, we love to remodel and sporterized guns. We love to shoot as accurately as possible. It's what we do. Perhaps it's in our DNA (some women get it and some don't). Creating a super accurate .22 caliber rifle out of a $180 dollar Ruger 10/22 is all part of the fun and enjoyment of the shooting sports.
