Ruger 10/22 build?

[new22build]

Hi all, hope you can help. I wanted to get a nice 22 rifle to have fun with and teach the kids. Heard Ruger 10/22 is a great choice but you 'have to' upgrade <bunch of stuff> - so I thought, why not build from scratch?

Reciever BRN-22R $100?
Stock TAC Hammer RM4 $130
Ebay BX trigger $65
Ebay Volquartsen Competition Bolt $150
ebay Stainless V block/pin kit $25
Barrel Adaptive Tach $240 (threaded, light weight)
~$750 + optics + supressor?

Questions:
Is this about everything I would need to build the gun?
I don't know much about the barrel but seems about the lightest regular OD bull barrel.
Only comments I have heard are about possible upgrade trigger but I feel like this is expensive enough....


As for the stock, really want adjustable reach and pistol grip. Any feedback and/or questions would be really appreciated... Just need to wait for the receiver to get in stock

You cannot build that in California so where are you.

If you have the coin, I say go for it. The brownells 10/22 receiver is solid,
having built one myself. You will pay an FFL additional $ to ship/transfer
the lower. I added a tac-sol barrel, bx trigger, and assorted parts. I also
went with a red dot, but I recommend teaching the kids with iron sights.

Definitely a great project to build with the kids, good luck with it!

I entered my zip code (contra costa county)
into the “can we ship this to you?” box on site;

it showed yes

Purchased one about 2-3 years ago, received by Glaser Arms Brentwood

BTW aftermarket barrels require light sanding to fit the receiver

I said build. No suppressors in Komiefornia.

I used a BRN22 receiver, BX trigger, Kidd scalloped bolt, Kidd lightweight 16" barrel and magpul stock on mine. Quite possibly my favorite gun I own. I've shot Appleseed with it and got my known distance patch with it as well. Shooting at 200 yards with it was an absolute hoot.

If you want to upgrade that, get a KIDD set up: https://www.kiddinnovativedesign.com...ings_p_51.html

Suppressor is nebulous future, I have also heard compensator - essentially just wanted barrel to be threaded if I am going to buy one.

Sounds like it seems reasonable. I believe the bolt has a spring/handle included. Sure there are some fees with shipping and transfer - I am sure most guns purchased at a store have the same fees.

I already have a low end 22 rifle with (bad) iron sights but if I am going to spend the time with the kids, I might as well have a bit of fun with it myself. Basically if I am getting a rifle with a few upgrades in my head its like ~$500 for a gun + minor upgrades or a 2-3 hundred more to get parts and put it together.

Am I missing anything on this list?

Consider doing it right the first time. Get a stainless takedown and upgrade it with a Magpul Stock, different magazine release, a new bolt release, a BX trigger.
This will the perfect training tool, but also a great rifle that fits in a backpack for SHTF and survival in any environment.

Frankly, I'd get a CZ 457 if you want to teach the kids. 10/22's are fun, but I'd rather run a bolt gun to avoid any headaches associated with semi-auto and the 10/22 in general such as misfeeds.

But if you have an ulterior motive of wanting a 10/22, then go for it.

ok...

he must've meant a faux can/linear comp, otherwise he's trolling

You obviously have far more shooting credentials than I do, but I'm going to have to disagree with you when you talk about Miss feeds and refer to the 10/22 in general. I've owned seven or eight of them, have shot tens of thousands of rounds, and the only time I have ever had a misfeed in a 1022 was when using an aftermarket 25 round magazine and that was the problem not the rifle. If using a rotary box magazine from Ruger, it's about as reliable a 22 long rifle semi-automatic that there is on the market. And hypothetically if you do get an occasional misfeed or other malfunction, I think even you would agree that every young shooter needs to learn to properly clear them and to be able to put the rifle back in battery. So an occasional jam isn't the worst thing in the world for a young shooter to encounter

For reals. I have three (2 Ruger and the 1 Brownells/Kidd build) and they've all been incredibly reliable. There's a lot to be said for shooting a bolt action and making sure your shots count, but overall my experience and most people I knows experience with the 10/22 in particular is it's an incredibly reliable platform especially for rimfire.

thanks for the stock, that is along the lines of what I was looking for and would save $50 but I am not a fan of the gap between the barrel and the front grip (similar to stock 10/22 target builds).

I did look at the Kidd bolt but because I have to buy the spring/lever separate it would end up $50 more - and (if eBay is not counterfeit) I have hear the Vol bolt is just as good or better than the Kidd.

I have heard the comments about learning with bolt action before but I don't want to get 2 separate guns, I do enjoy the 22 myself, and kids are older/responsible so I think we can transition safely/quickly to semi auto after a few times hand feeding. I wasn't aware of CA and suppressor laws - I honestly haven't looked into it because I was not wanting to spend ~$700 but in doing research on 22's - it has come up and seemed interesting. Either way, it seems if I am going to buy aftermarket barrel, makes sense to get threaded.
