It never went full tilt on me, after every shot I have to push the trigger forward. I don't think it was the polish job since it worked fine before I installed the new trigger. The polish job was done pretty lighlty with compound and then steel wool. I'm kinda leaning towards it being a weak spring. I think tomorrow evening I'm going to try swapping some parts from my other rifle and see what happens. Pinkhamr thanks for the offer, ill let you know if I end up needing it. - Jason
What stock and other components did you use? Details would be wonderful if you're going to tease up with photos...
Top photo of the 10/22 has a E.R Shaw fluted bull barrel. The reciever is stock except I added a 1913 picatinny scope rail with a Centerpoint 4X16X50 with lockable target turrets and adjustable objective. The trigger system is stock except I did a tigger job and tune up using the stock trigger parts and ended up with a 2.5 pound pull. then I added a Bell and Carlson extended mag release and I took the stock bolt lock out and converted it to an auto bolt release. And I smoothed up and polished the bolt, then blued the side of the bolt that shows. I also installed Volquartsen springs and extractor in the bolt.
The stock is a tapco that originally was for a stock ruger taper barrel. I then took some dowel and sandpaper and enlarged the barrel channel to accept a bull barrel. After enlarging the barrel channel, the original tapco upper handguard would not fit. But I found on Ebay a seller, selling a custom all metal hanguard for the tapco stock that had been enlarged. I then did the semi-camouflage paint scheme on the stock using Krylon Fusion camouflage paint designed for plastic and synthetic materials. I used blue spruce branches for an overlay pattern while doing the new finish. I also added a folding front grip and i installed a 1913 picatinny rail on the right side of the stock up front to install a weapons light or a laser . The Bipod is a cheap quick release NcStar, but it works well for the 10/22.
I got this 10/22 on a trade, but actuall cash outlay from bone stock condition to as it is now, I have about a total of $300.00 into it. As for accuracy, I shoot it all day long and at 50 to 75yards 5 out of 5 rounds will hit the same hole each time, just with each shot the hole gets a fraction bigger with each shot.
The bottom photo is a 10/22 mounted into a folding Butler Creek stock. I cut the stock barrel down to 14.5 inches and threaded the end to accept a GI A2 flash suppressor. The reciever is stock except I did a trigger job and all the same work that I did on the trigger components of the 10/22 in the top photo and the same bolt work. I then took the original upper hanguard that was on the tapco stock in the top photo and adapted it to fit the Butler Creek stock. I then mounted a 1913 picatinny rail on the reciever and mounted a rear folding adjustable sight that is originally for AR-15 rifles, I did the same for the front sight, and mounted a front folding AR-15 buis sight. Then I also mounted a Truglo Holographic sight. Which I can also use my folding sights right along with the holographic sight if i wish. I also installed a Bell and Carlson ext. mag release on this rifle also. And i installed a picatinny rail on the underside of the forearm for a front pistol grip or a weapons light or a laser. I really like building 10/22 rifles as there is so much you can do with them.
Thanks for sharing. I was very interested in that top build. If you have a link to the seller of the top handguard, I would appreciate knowing it. Thanks again.
