Gunsicks New Ruger 10/22 build thread

[Pissed Off Patriot]

I love bull barrels on 10/22's! That's gonna be a sweet looking build. Haven't done it to mine yet, Someday.

Dude that's gonna be sweet. I just almost did the same exact build!!! I priced out that same stock, x ring receiver and basically the whole build. Then decided to buy some scopes and a few other things to use some guns I already have that don't get used cause they needed scopes etc. so hurry up with this so I can see it complete and then spend more money lol

The stock and billet trigger group came in the mail yesterday!

[Celt]

Keep me posted lad.

On eBay there's hundreds of new take of part sets because of that. I may do an 80% upper for this build. Haven't decided yet. But if I do we can work something out for the reciever and bolt:-)

I Cerakoted the barrel and reciever Armor Black. I dropped the trigger group and messed it up before I got it in the oven so I have to do it over. Waiting on parts that I ordered that said in stock only to find half the Peshitta missing when delivered. Hopefully I get the rest in a week or two. Got a KIDD bolt that I am going to do a write up about on its own. Started working again so not as much spare time as I would like. I think I'm going to pillar bed the stock also that I will do a separate write up on also.

Stay tuned just a couple of bumps in the road.

Ok got some more things done. Billet trigger housing, barrel and receiver before Cerakote.

Install and bedding of Rimfire Technologies 5 MOA rail.

The receiver needs the existing holes drilled and tapped for the larger 8-32 mounting screws.

There is a void in the back of the rail so I bedded it with JB Weld. Oiled the top of receiver and cleaned out the screw holes so it can be removed if needed. I used blue Locktite on screws.

Big upgrade for accuracy is pillar bedding the stock so the receiver won't have movement like it does when tightened down against wood.

Started out by tapping out the factory Boyds escutcheon, should have supported the bottom because I chipped the stock when removing it. Nothing I can't repair. It's not glued just press fitted.


This is the set up I'm using, the red T-section and silver pillar are by Raven Eye Customs. The escutcheon is stock. The red pillar is all that is needed in a factory stock but the Boyds is thicker so I need a bit of the silver pillar to make up the diffrence


This is how it will be stacked up inside the stock.

Drilled out for the T-section with a 3/4" spade bit but a Forster bit will work also. Do a little at a time and check depth. I set it a little high so I can file it flush later. Then go all the way through with a 7/16" bit which is the same size as the original escutcheon hole.

Now the messy part, tape is your friend. JB Weld everything together into the stock, make sure you use enough to fill everything in. clamped it together with a bolt and nut to keep it tight.

Next day I filed everything flush and fixed chip in the stock.

Rock solid mounting for the receiver!
