Ruger 10/22: Buy stock or buy someone's modded 10/22?

[nw.style]

Ruger 10/22: Buy stock or buy someone's modded 10/22? I want to buy a 10/22. I would like a heavy barrel with a scope. Would it be smarter to wait (dunno how long) to buy a Ruger Target 10/22 or buy a modded used 10/22? Are there guys who do the 10/22 mods and sell them at gun shows? Thanks for your Help!

I just got my first 10/22 and modded it myself. They are SUPER EASY to mod with minimal tools (a punch and hex key set was all I needed) and there are tons of Youtube videos walking you step by step.

Of course, if someone has a build for sale that is exactly what you want, get that.

I pieced almost my entire build from used parts on this site's classfieds and estimate I saved about $400 all-in versus buying everything straight up.

Do it yourself. They're silly easy to mess with and if you need help on something specific, plenty of info on the net, this forum, and you can probably entice some help with the promise of beer if need be.

Buy the 10/22 model that gets you closest to where you want to be…if you're replacing everything (which I've done) - then Sportsman's usually has carbine models on sale for $180 around the holidays…keep an eye out for sales.

What's your budget? Take a look at Kidd and Volquartzen if the sky is the limit.

Took a look at the Volquartzen 10/22. I hope I can pry my bubblegum of the seat.... starting at $1500. Oh my!

I had a Kidd for a while, that thing was a tack driver with a heavy barrel, but heavy as all get out.

Make 1.

Or 2 , or 6.

In all my years and the many many I've owned. If you plan on changing anything, just start with a receiver.

Research all the available 10-22 stocks, (if possible!) purchase such then mod it to you liking. Mine is a cut back front with a different rear folder. Just about anything is possible.

Newest "chassis " on the block. SB tactical, m lok compatible. Brownells had them for $100 last week.

I'm planning to just buy a BRN-22 stripped receiver and build my own from the ground up.

I like everything about them but the finish. No big deal, plenty of options for that these days.

I have a Kidd receiver on the way , looked at buying a Ruger receiver but for 40-50 buck more why not have the best. no Ruger parts will be used in the build.

Nice! I'm looking at a Midwest takedown chassis with interchangeable forearms and SBA3 or SBA4 for a quick-change pistol/rifle kit.

I like this! I've been contemplating an SBR 10/22. This would be pretty awesome for that with a folding 1913 stock.

Honestly can't believe I saw this before you.
You're always 2 steps ahead of me.

Winning!

Question... which is easier to throw together between a 10/22 vs an AR15? I'm starting to wonder if "his and hers" 10/22s might be a better start for introducing her to the workbench than just dumping her straight into Serious Work iron...

Yes.

Don't even need a vice to put together a 10/22. Just some Allen keys.
