You're just looking to add a gun that's younger than youI'd love to have a 62A in my collection...so you actually have me beat there....

I have a 241 from 1937 and a model 12 from 1930. Tack drivers, both of them.The older Remington models 24 / 241 and the Browning version of the same , work well.

Take a look at the 12.5" GAU-5 URG from Midwest, shouldn't take too much to swap in a .300BLK barrel.Keep meaning to talk to Velzey about building a take down/switch barrel bolty in 5.56/300 B.O. kinda like the old M-4 Survival rifle, but in a easier to find or load caliber(s)!
Completely forgot about the Charger in a PMACA as an option. Man, that is tiny...use a foldable or collapsible stock or under folder style like an AK and it'll be tiny indeed...Perhaps the same size or smaller than just the stock portion of the Magpul Backpacker.
AR conversion(Side question: does anyone know what CMMG's .22ARC is? Is that a cartridge? I couldn't find any info via Google).
Brownells 10/22 receivers are pretty nice in that you can clean breach to muzzle without removing the barrel.Thanks for all the advice!
I am considering a .22 AR-compatible upper, probably built with CMMG parts. (Side question: does anyone know what CMMG's .22ARC is? Is that a cartridge? I couldn't find any info via Google).
However, I'm leaning towards a 10/22. Is a Ruger-made one good enough, or should I build off an aftermarket receiver? And if aftermarket, who makes the better ones?
Thanks!
You can easily buy the 10-22 and swap every single part on it later as if you started from a receiver by an aftermarket company.Thanks for all the advice!

Just the original and some sort of folder is a small option.Completely forgot about the Charger in a PMACA as an option.

Thanks! I think I'm figuring it out. CMMG's website could really use better descriptions. They list both .22LR and .22ARC parts side-by-side that appear similar if not the same, and the descriptions don't really help. I even emailed them asking, but got no response.
What would you prefer instead of a takedown?The Ruger 10/22 TD is just like that super hot girl when you were single. You're going to take her out a lot. You're going to spend a lot of money to make things special. But in the end, she just won't perform the way you want.
Joking aside. I built 2 of these for the kids and would not do it again. Right out if the box the stock, barrel, trigger, sights, and bolt release are no good and need to be replaced. At this point, why but a factory Ruger TD, when you're already in Tactical Solutions and Volquartsen territory? TDs are like scout rifles. You get enamored with the idea, but $$$$ later you realize you can't make bad compromises work.
What is the purpose for the rifle? That's an important detail to make recommendations off of.What would you prefer instead of a takedown?
I have one, and have shot it enough to not really like it. The trigger is my biggest gripe. Stiff as middle school morning wood. It's still a keeper, just not on the list of "fun" shooting guns.The Henry AR7 is a good takedown rifle and it runs great once you learn how to run it. Right velocity ammo and lubrication where it's needed and the gun functions great. It has another plus the rest of the guns don't have, it stays clean stored in the butt stock. All the rest of the guns need a case to stay clean.
Don't do that with replacing the pins with Tandemkross upgrades. And a nylon bolt buffer too.Echoing Andy, but at Ruger...
If you buy a Ruger 10-22 and loosen 1 screw, it comes apart into a stock piece and a receiver/barrel piece.
Especially with iron sights, this is a pretty small bundle.
I've owned and seen .22 survival takedowns that were actually smaller,
but they were only like 2" smaller, and nowhere near as accurate or reliable as a tuned-up 10-22.
2 cents.
