10/22 Custom Parts

[Erik.]

Anyone put any custom parts in there 10/22's? I saw one on cheaperthandirt for 24$ Would it be a good investment for my 10/22? By custom parts I mean something like this http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/RGR010-57207-2708.html?pcs=RGR010

Any info would be much appreciated :)

I've purchased all the parts I've used to upgrade my 10/22 from EABCO (http://www.eabco.com/102201.html)

The trigger tune kit was probably one of the best upgrades.

the biggest appeal in 10/22's for me is the fact that the ammo is so cheap, so i can shoot thousands of rounds and not be hurtin in the bank. plus they're just plain fun, good for pigeons and squirrels, but if soviet paratroopers fall into your backyard I wouldn't go for my 10/22 first thats for sure. That being said, i have a custom wood stock on my ruger 10/22, much like you would see here: http://www.hornetproducts.com/bin/category.asp?category=17 and i have a fluted bull barrel from pigwhistle barrels. In my opinion a trigger job is important even on a 10/22 if you want to be accurate at all because the factory trigger pull is too high.

Well I have used a 10/22 in ops where there are gurd dogs present
A silenced 10/22 is very quiet and I sure as hell would use it on any soviet paras in my backyard
Well sure maybe after I shot them all first with my M4 or AK but what the H*ll

Try www.midwayusa.com not always the cheapest but they have good service and there is usually a good amount of feedback on the product so you can see what others think.

I have that kit from CTD. All the parts except for the bolt release are plastic. To be honest, the material is not much of an issue but when installed I don't like the way they look. I am going to be getting a new cocking handle and mag release.

I am currently installing a Tapco T6 stock with the UTG quad rail on my 10/22 and it's pretty slick. You need to do some fitting to both parts for them to work together, but it's not too difficult.

The one gripe I have about the UTG rail is it makes using the iron sights almost impossible. I am going to put an EOTech on it so it doesn't matter to me, but for a gun you might use in combat it could be an issue. On Rimfire Central there was a guy who modded the rail to use with tech sights, that would be the way to go.

Thanks, for the quick answers guys! :)

One thing that caught my eye in the CTD catalog was the William 'Fire Sight' set for the 10/22. Does anyone have any direct experience with these, and if so, how did you like them?

EDIT:

I waqs looking around at the Midway site, and customers seem to like the HiViz sights for the 10/22 better than the Williams Fire Sight. Again, comments from anyone who has tried these products would be appreciated.
