The trend seems to increase involving replacing the Ruger 10/22 factory barrels with a 0.9200 inch diameter, no taper, bull barrel. Some concern after doing that involves "barrel droop" because the one, and only, forward receiver screw may not be enough to settle the receiver into the stock solidly. There is a method (fix) whereby the receiver can be drawn down into the stock much better.
Here's a fixture I made that helps hold the 10/22 receiver firmly, yet gives me the ability to adjust the X,Y and Z axis' to get the receiver locked down and aligned properly.
A slot is milled into the rear face of the 10/22 receiver and then a mounting hole and a cleaning rod hole are plunged through the receiver face.
Here the tang has been attached and will next need to get inletted into the stock.
The top hole in this picture is for the attaching screw for the tang. The bottom hole is a customer requested cleaning rod access hole so they can clean the bore from the breech end.
