Possible to convert a standard 10/22 to takedown?

[aeronaut]

Is it possible to convert a standard 10/22 carbine to takedown? There are a few companies that supposedly sell the components to do so. The process looks something like removing the barrel, installing thread adapters, and reattaching a takedown barrel.

You answered your own question. AGP has made that kit you linked for over 5 years. I have one of their first gen 10-22 folding stocks and its build quality is real good.

The cost seems pretty high, for a little more you could get a barely used factory takedown. That wood stock in the image is gorgeous though.

I just emailed them to see if their barrel conversion will fit in a standard Ruger Mannlicher 10/22 stock. I'd also like to know if a threaded barrel is functional in a Mannlicher stock.

Promag makes a great breakdown stock. I have it and I it's great.

I am only looking to do the takedown conversion if I can keep my Mannlicher stock

Are you going to do all the wood work necessary to cut your stock and inlet for the takedown hardware?
You are still going to need the new barrel that is properly milled and tapped for the takedown locking block.

I suspect that the factory mannlicher stock does not have enough material in the belly forward of the receiver to be converted to a takedown stock.
Compare the width and depth of the conversion stock pictured above to your un-cut stock.
The locking block hardware adds around 3/4" to the bottom of the barrel.
Does your stock have an extra 1" of wood under the barrel about 3" forward of the reciever inlet?
If not, then it would not be able to be converted.

Mike Warren at this website cuts factory stocks to be compatible with takedown - http://www.1022td-woodstocks.com/

Here is an example of one being done -

These examples were done on a factory takedown 10/22. The conversion kit on a standard 10/22 will probably have different hardware than a factory takedown. Hoping it will fit in the mannlicher

Seems like that's the guy you need to ask directly then rather than posting the question on forums.

I suspect that the aftermarket conversion hardware is just a copy of the factory takwdown hardware.
I have done bull barrel conversions to takedown as a bull barrel has sufficient material to mill the flats and drill/tap for the hardware but I was re-using the takedown hardware from a factory skinny barrel.
The takedown block that goes on the barrel is not much bigger than required to hold the spring, locking pin, detent and the screw holes that attach it to the barrel.
I can't imagine that an aftermarket block could be made much smaller.

This was his reply -

“I can convert your Mannlicher stock into a stock set for the Takedown.
I charge $100 + $15 S/H for the conversion.
You need to buy a Takedown rifle. You cannot convert a regular 10/22 into a Takedown rifle.
You can buy from a gunshot, Big 5 Sporting goods, Dick’s sporting goods, gun broker.com
It needs to be the full size barrel, not the shorter barrel with the birdcage.

He might not be aware of the AGP conversion kit. you are right ar15barrels, the hardware should be the same on the conversion as a factory takedown.

I just called AGP, they said their kit uses a proprietary barrel that does not have the screw in the bottom to hold a stock in place. The only way I will be able to achieve the result in the OP is to get a 10/22 takedown and send it to Mike to get cut.
