Are there good ambi stocks that people have used (free floating the barrel)?

Drummer,

On a 10/22 with an aluminum receiver you usually will NOT free float the barrel like you would a steel receiver bolt action CF rifle.
 
What's a 10/22 going to do that a CZ won't. That is if we're talking about. 22s. I built up a 10/22, then I got my 452. Soon after, I returned my 10/22 back to stock. Maybe my kids will shoot it, I don't. My CZ would outshoot that 10/22 anyday. Hell, even my old Mossbergs would clean it's clock. A stock 10/22 is fun shooter, but IMHO once you start sinking money into it there are a lot more accurate alternatives.
 
have some one you pick up that garand and smack you square in the face with it. If you sell that garand, you will not replace it easily, and the cmp may only have them a few more years, then you will pay top dollar, or will spend years kicking yourself for getting rid of it. Do yourself a favor, keep it, save you pennies and buy the .22 later

That sums up my opinion. Start with a basic 10/22, since you already have optics, then put it together into a better gun as you go. I started out with a wood carbine 10/22 that I got for free for selling a bunch of ruger handguns at the dealer I work at. Been messing with it since day 1, still not anywhere near complete.

NEVER NEVER NEVER sell that M1. If the market goes dry, you will regret it.
 
I've enjoyed accurizing 10-22s, but lately, have been disappointed with some of the standard-weight factory barrels. However, a few T-models have had exceptional barrels. I like the T-model stocks, though the rifles may be a bit heavy for persons of smaller frames.

If I had it to do over, I'd probably buy a stainless steel after-market action and a Green Mountain or other great barrel, but keep the factory T-stock.

I pioneered using high-strength Locktite to weld barrels to receivers and believe that's the way to go for top accuracy. A pressure point in the forend is necessary unless a stiff custom action has two bedding screws.

Good luck with your project.
 
This may have already been covered and I am no ace when it comes to shooting but if my $200.00 plain Jane 10/22 can get any more accurate than it was out of the box, I couldn't handle it.

I had the vision of a scope for it but was AMAZED at the accuracy with iron sights. I do not want to fix what ain't broken.

It is my favorite long gun. In fact, IMHO and for the money, it the best long gun I have ever owned and the one, I will not do without.

I could survive with that thing in a worst case scenario. Ruger got it right with the 10/22.
 
Some of the most accurate 10/22's use the oem barrels that have the chamber set back and reamed to a modified Bentz chamber. You can have this done for under $150. Modify the oem trigger group, blue print the bolt and have a sub moa rifle for well under $500 total. I've seen these out shoot the $1500 after marker rifles, it's priceless.:cool:
 
Bid low and good luck!!!

Hi to all. the best advice i've seen here is do not sell anything. I have 2-10 22s. 1 a 1996 international style (purchaced new)and a beater. Amoskeag auction in NH (silent auction page). Last time they must have had 5 or 6 of them. Short money under 75.00 bucks. I would start there and build if you must. Good luck have fun and I enjoy 22s, If it's not to windy..
