Ruger 10/22 Finger Groove Sporter Tribute

This one started as just a stock that someone gave me. Someone had cut off the barrel band portion of the forend and painted it black, then put it on a belt sander...then gave up...the stock is an original walnut one...so I decided to try and make lemonade out of this lemon. I added a Kingston Armory steel receiver and new take-off barrel, both were polished to a 5000 grit and hot blued. I modified the stock by adding finger grooves, adding flutes to the comb, redefining the grip area, adding a grip cap and sling swivels mimicking those of the Finger Groove Sporter model. I then refinished the aluminum butt plate and aluminum trigger housing in graphite black Cerakote.

Here are the before and after pictures

Good work and thanks for sharing !!!

TINCAN,
Now that is about the most interesting and unique 10/22 that I have seen, in a long time. I can see a little of the Canadian in this. I've always been fond of the finger grooved stocks. Thanks for posting. ....... :)

Be Safe !!!
