10/22 takedown??

[RescueRiley]

one more gun question for the 10/22 owners out there...I know there are a lot of kits out there to soup up and modify your 10/22 I was wondering if there is a way to make it in to a takedown gun??? I would consider it a folding stock but anything in my area with a folding stock is considered "and assault weapon" so that's out ..... any ideas?

I'm with you on the folding stock up here buddy. I have a fixed4x scope and a bipod on mine.

Don't know about takedowns, as I have no plans for the gun except shooting it.

That's a great idea. The 10/22 design sort of lends itself to the idea, doesn't it? I wasn't able to find anything but I found something else that seemed sort of neat:

If you're looking to cut down on the OAL of the 10/22 you might want to consider a bullpup stock:

But given your location the fact that it has a pistol grip will make it a so-called "assault weapon".

 

[RescueRiley]

the bull pup is also a good idea...but anything with a "pistol grip that extends conspicuously beneath the action" is considered an "assault weapon where I'm from...Thanks guys I'll keep searching, that arrow shooter is prety cool though good find.

There was someone who offered a takedown kit for the 10/22 a while back.

Can't remember where I saw it, but it is out there.

Lemme look around and see if I can find it.

With an unmodified 10/22, the stock and action/barrel are held together by two screws. The trigger assembly is held to the action by a couple of loosely fitted pins. While not a true "take down" rifle, it can be disassembled and reassembled quite quickly and easily. You could even replace them with thumbscrews, I suppose.

Butler creek makes a takedown stock for the 10/22, I have heard both good and bad about them but never used them myself. Chris

Not any more. Best option is probably a short barrelled youth model or just ordering the shorter barrel (16 1/4), which is available in lightweight model, to put on your current 10/22.

Cutting down the stock to a short pull is also helpful. I did this with my Marlin 60, mostly so that my 5 yoa boy and 11 yoa girl could shoot it more easily. I also found that I liked the handiness of the shorter rifle. It's not like recoil is an issue with a 22 and I could still get a nice cheekweld. To cut the stock, I just used a circ saw then lotsa time with a file. Then, I used some touch up stain and redrilled the holes for the buttplate screws. If you wanted, you could also hollow out the buttstock for weight savings or to add survival supplies/ammo.

And get yourself a peep site. Much better than the factory jobs on either the Marlin or Ruger.

here's the stock you were looking for, the "takedown packer": http://www.omegamanenterprises.com/butlercreek.htm

Maybe if enough people call Butler Creek, they will reconsider.

Get the youth model and a side-folding stock.

 

[nemoaz]

Maybe not! Kinda pricey but look here: http://www.hoppes.com/adtemplate.asp?invky=9005330

Personally, I'd just by the youth 10/22 and shorten the stock myself. $285 is too much imho.

Nemoaz, that is for a barrel and a stock, just the stock can be had for quite a bit cheaper. Chris

Yeah, I know. But the question was for a takedown rifle and he specified no folding stock. I'm doubting that he must actually avoid the folding stock because most of the "conspicuous pistol grip" or "folding stock" left wing BS usually applies only to centerfire rifles, but who knows. What state are you in RescueRiley?

I wish keltec made a SU16 scaled down to .22.

The stock I refered to is a takedown stock not a folding stock. Chris

I'm in NY it's not a state law but a jurisdictional law...I currently live within NYC limits and they have thier own set of gun laws...Hopefully I'll move soon...

or this??

I actually have one of the Henry's.. They are alot of fun, and relatively inexpensive.

 

[RescueRiley]

I'd love the m6 Ive read that article numerous times (good looking out) but unfortunately it is no longer in production they only make them in pistol form now which is not an option for me...If they made them again I scoop one up n a heart beat

i have one of the AR-7's and it kicks ass. talk about a useful gun it sits in my pack and goes every wear i go. and it is very accurate for some thing you can screw the barrel off of.
