Title: ruger 10/22 parts
Post by: turkey buster on December 25, 2009, 11:38:23 AM: so I have a barrel and stock for a 10/22, my son and I want to put it together for my grandson. Does anyone know where I can buy the rest of the parts without buying a whole new gun, I looked on gunbroker and found the trigger assembly but I cant find the frame and action.
thanks everybody any help will be greatly appreciated

if you find a used action you could trick it out at stockystocks

Brownells?

But you can't buy the action from Ruger unless you're an FFL dealer and even that's not cost effective. The cheapest way is to buy the full rifle, cheapest grade from Walmart or a Pawn shop, then sell the stock and barrel. The fire control doesn't need to be replaced. There's ways to improve the trigger with drop-in components. Find that aftermarket stock and barrel and you've got a tack driver. If you can find a Target grade Bull Barrel model as a Ruger 10-22, you'll be money ahead with still a very accurate rifle.

Post by: Shootmoore on December 25, 2009, 10:59:44 PM: It will require an FFL to purchase a reciever for a 10/22. That being said you can purchase one from Brownells, however this is a spendy one.

Post by: jackelope on December 26, 2009, 07:48:58 PM: what kind of barrel and stock do you have? aftermarket bull barrel?

good sources of parts and 10/22 stuff:
http://www.hawktecharms.com/ruger/10-22.htm
http://www.eabco.com/102201.html
http://ruger1022receiver.com/

you could go for days with this stuff.

theres a guy on rimfirecentral.com that will tune your existing trigger group for around $60.00 or you can replace it for 3x thator more if you look around a little. i think the VQ trigger groups are $200+. if you only have a factory take off stock and barrel you could build off of that but you almost may as well buy another gun. recievers and stuff aftermarket are big bucks.

Post by: jackelope on December 26, 2009, 07:50:48 PM: you could probably find a whole gun at walmart or cabelas for $175 or so. Joes used to sell them for that money.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on December 26, 2009, 08:53:47 PM: In my experience all you need is the VQ hammer and a little polish on the sear and the Trapper spring kit and a nylon recoil buffer, then drill a hole in the trigger or trigger guard, tap it for an over travel set screw. Then freefloat the barrel by taking that damn barrel band off. The factory barrel is usually capable of quarter sized groups at 70yds. But it really takes better fire control to accomplish that.

Post by: Mookie on December 27, 2009, 02:11:22 AM: I recommend a Nodak Spud receiver. http://www.nodakspud.com/NDS-22.htm More expensive than factory but it's a better part, much, much better.
If you want a good trigger that won't break the bank, look for a factory group and buy a Volquartsen or Power Custom hammer. If you want a great group that is still a good price then check this guy out. http://swampfoxtriggers.webs.com/index.htm He does a stellar job and has an even better reputation.
If you have a factory barrel and want to keep the factory look but have accuracy better than GM, Nemohunter on RFC is amazing. I have had personal dealings with him and he is top notch. http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/member.php?u=22658

Post by: turkey buster on December 27, 2009, 08:11:06 AM: wow it sounds like I can do a ton of upgrades to the 10/22, I was just going to put a new action in my spare factory stock and barrel for my grandson, but now maybe I'll put a new action and trigger Assembly in mine and put my old parts in the grandsons. if I'm not carefull I'll have more into my 22 than any other gun's I have. thanks guys. Oh ya one more question if I'm going to put a new receiver in it what would be involved to make it a 22 magnum and would it be worth it?

Yes, welcome to the wonderfull money pit of the 10/22. You can customize the crap out of em, and because of the way they are put together, very little in the way of specialty tools are needed. I'll post a pick of one of the two I have built over the years when I get a chance. The second one is on loan to my dad. It's his grouse gun of choice.

You will need a 22 magnum receiver. Magnum Research and Volquartsen sells complete rifles, MR is about half the price but it uses Ruger trigger groups, modified but I can make them better for free, and Ruger bolts, Volquartsen makes their own bolts and trigger groups and are superior. A non magnum receiver can be modified to work a magnum round, but it is not worth the effort unless you own your own machine shop.

A 10/22 can be money pit if you are not careful. I know many people who spend a grand and then freak out because the gun does not shoot better, like putting a fart can on a Cavalier, if they had purchased parts that actually improved the performance it would have been a competition gun, not top shelf of course. If you purchase the right parts and are willing to do some custom work yourself you can save a ton of money and have a great shooting gun.

I built a very good shooting 10/22 for less than $300 total. Got the gun for $150, GM barrel for $80 and a hogue stock for $60, worked over all the internals myself and had a very crisp and light trigger pull. Prices have gone up since then, it's been a few years.
