    I never get to brag... and this isn't anything super special, but it took me a lot of research and time to finish. Did all the internal work myself including my own trigger job, polished all the metals with a dremel and upgraded the springs.

    Its my first rifle and I had no previous experience breaking down or working on a gun before this one.

    Not the fanciest or the most expensive 10/22... but she's mine :ar15:

    Nice looking. It isn't clear in your post what you used the Dremel on, so being this is your first work on a firearm, make sure you do some extensive testing of your fire control mechanism to ensure you still have a safe trigger!

    ^thanks Dremel was primarily used to polish all the internals nice and smooth, including the bolt

    I did mod the the trigger and have shot the hell out of it since.... Its lighter, but definitely not hair trigger light or dangerous.

    safety first :D

    Besides... there is a lot more wrong with my shootin than the trigger haha... but I'm getting there.

    Promag archangel deluxe stock
    ER Shaw threaded 16" bull barrel (Huntertown Arms 7.62 can waiting stamp)
    Ruger BX-Mag
    Cheapy Barska 3x9 scope

    Scope is working fine for what I am using it for now, but I'd like to upgrade the scope eventually to a crossfire.... however, I'll be starting my .300blackout build next, so that might have to wait.

    I actually really like it. I don't have a whole lot to compare it to I guess, but the receiver sits in nice and snug. No extra play anywhere. The barrel has plenty of clearance.

    Obviously with the barrel and this stock its better off left on the bipod, but it shoots great. Maybe if I can get out to Kingsbury range, ill try to do a novice range report with it.

    Nice looking 10/22 you have there. Now all we need is a range report on how well it shoots. Looks like you need to go out and shoot it for us.:rockwoot:

    Nice rifle!
    How do you like the stock? Been thinking about getting one for mine.

    I really do like the stock... again, I don't have any other stocks to compare it except the factory synthetic, but the fit is excellent. It seems ultra durable and the finish is pretty good. For what it is, I think its great depending on what your using it for.

    Not the best setup for off hand shooting, but off of a bench or from a bipod, its excellent.

    This is a great looking setup!! It's definitely giving me some ideas on what I would want a 10/22 to look like if I make that my next project!

    This one would be mostly off a bench or w/ a bipod, so it sounds like it should work fine.
    Thanks
