My 10-22 is all aftermarket parts--Tactical Innovations action, Boyds stock, E.R. Shaw barrel, bolt buffer, Scope off of one of my other guns (Nikon scope) The only thing that says "Ruger" is the magazine... You can get anything for a 10-22. Mine cost about $400.00 when it was all over, but I didn't have any spare parts to get rid of!
. How do you like the ER Shaw barrel?
It's a good accurate barrel, but for some reason I had to slightly shim the scope rings to get it to not hit low at 80 yards. I think when I tightened the barrel lug, it pulled the barrel down slightly. Once sighted in, it's a tack driver!
. Good to know there accurate for the price. Been thinking about getting one but can't find much out there for reviews.
Very accurate barrels, but the chamber was so sharp that I had to chamfer the top and bottom ever so slightly so the soft lead 22 bullets would feed reliably. Might have been an oddity of the aftermarket action, but at the time, an ER Shaw barrel from Brownells was the only one available, and my buddy had one on the 10-22 he built, and liked it, so that is what I got... I also got one of those double Ruger 50 round banana magazines (you can put a whole box of 22 ammo, 25 in each side!) to go with my stock Ruger 10 round magazine. Took it Ground Squirrel shooting, and when the 50 round mag was empty, and I had to put the 10 round mag in, it was time to head back to the truck to reload!
