    Greatest 22. Absolutely love mine and haven't seen one like it yet.
    I took a egr heat shield off a crown vic and used it as a heat shield. Work amazing.
    And I believe those stocks are not available any longer but I could be wrong.

      I put mine together for about half that (got a great deal on the receiver), shortly thereafter Ruger released almost the same configuration for around $480, so I guess it was a decent build!

      It all depends on what parts you decide on for your build, and whether you source new or used. I somehow seem to have about half the parts for another build that were left over after another build just floating around when I do a "cleanup"... pick the rest up on fleabay. Receivers are always the tricky and expensive part, but it's addicting.

        My buddy gave me an old 10/22. Since I already have a nice Magpul Takedown, I figured I would start with his receiver and go nuts. There are so many wonderful options. It's too bad, you can't build an Ar-22 out of them.

              Original build sheet:
              Back in 2012, Ruger announced the 10/22 Takedown version of the venerable Ruger 10/22 rimfire rifle. The 10/22 Takedown is a version of the 10/22 receiver that is designed for the rifle to be disas…


              Final configuration after a few changes from original:



              I wanted to post a minor update to the Brownells 10/22 Takedown Rifle Project since I made a few revisions since I last posted a blog article about the 10/22 Takedown. The most notable revision is …


              If I were to repeat the scratch build, I would just get the Brownells non-picatinny Takedown receiver (and run the same other parts, e.g. TacSol barrel, Kidd trigger, Magpul X-22 backpacker with the front mount, etc.).
              Really nice.

              Couple questions, what lens did you shoot that with? Are the irons usable with that rail? Really sexy gun though, I’m digging the winter glove trigger guard.

                No, the irons do not work with the picatinny rail. This is why I recommended going with the regular round top. I didn't know that the TacSol 10/22 TD receiver has a channel down the center of the rail. Though, someone pointed out that you could have someone mill a channel in the Brownells 10/22 TD receiver, which is true.

                  Damon, thanks for this reply of yours. ocabj's build has piqued my interest in a .22 takedown.

                  How would I go about doing exactly what you describe in your post? I own a standard Ruger 10-22 however I'm going to assume I would need to start with a takedown receiver? which requires an FFL... and basically assemble an entire takedown version of a 10-22 in this Magpul Backpacker stock (again, using your recipe).

                  Thanks. I know very little on this topic.



                  ocabj, really nice rifle and photos. Thanks for your posts.

                    You need a TD receiver, TD barrel, and a TD compatible stock. The bolt and trigger are the same as a regular 10/22.

                        And the TD receiver is something I'd need to acquire through an FFL...

                            I have found that a few websites are offering a complete TacSol 10/22 rifle X-Ring backpacker stock for sub $800. Most websites are selling them for an average price of $950. I’m tempted to jump on this, but am pulled to a cheaper ruger 10/22 Magpul version for about half that at $400.
                            If you know much about these tacsol x-rings, please let me know what you think of my options and if this is a good buy, or if I should maybe buy the ruger for half the price.

                            ( I really like the upgraded trigger, barrel and receiver. I just don’t know how that will play out in real world application)

                              I used to run Canon full frame dSLR. Sold my 5D Mark III a few years ago and went solely micro-four-thirds. I can do a lot with MFT, especially the long end (300mm f4 IS which is 600mm effective) for a lot less than full frame.

                              Depending on what the Canon R5 turns out to be, I may go back to full-frame.

                                12" groups at 50 yards sounds like there is a lot of room to improve, either shooter technique or something with the gun... is that rapid fire mag dump, or trying to hit the bullseye?

                                I've got a "few" 10/22's and a few others, some are more accurate than others, but most are good enough to put a mag or two into the 8/9/x area at 23 yds, and a little more open beyond that without too much effort - my kids can group better than I can every single time, so I know the guns are good, the shooter is "variable"!
