I made my own BRN22 build. Used a Faxon barrel, Brownells bolt, Ruger BX trigger, and a Blackhawk Axiom stock. Going to my first competition with it on St. Patrick's Day.
I just built my M1 Carbine clone with parts from Brownells. I distressed my stock to make it look about 80 years old. The ghost ring sights make it complete. Thanks for the confidence to do this! I love this fun gun.
Buy a Bergara semiauto .22. It's about HALF THE PRICE--carbon fiber wrapped barrel, threaded muzzle(1/2"X28), receiver has integrated picatinny rail, etc.
I am interested in that tool box. It looks like a collaboration with Yeti coolers and a tool truck. and as such is probably guaranteed to cost 10 times what it is worth.
Built my brownells 22 with br receiver, lilja bull barrel, kidd 2 stage trigger group, hogue rubberized stock, and a half decent scope for some super fun never miss plinking
Great video as always. One suggestion I would make is to degrease the mounting holes and screws for the optics mounting plate. Not as much recoil as larger calibers but still a good practice to have.
Yeah No Trigger is worth anything more than the price of a Ruger BX Trigger,not to me,never noticed any difference from a $250 dollar trigger or $100 dollar trigger from Ruger
Another great video! Question because I don’t know, is it recommended to not use LocTite on the V-block screws and the forward action screw? Many years ago I modified a 10/22, put colored accessories on it for my daughter, but now I want to build another one for my other daughter who will soon be of shooting age.
If you’re putting steel screws into an aluminum receiver I would recommend using some anti-seize on the threads. If you don’t you run the risk of galling the receiver threads.
That really is a cute(if there is such a thing) looking specimen. I’m not sure that it should be shot. I would just enjoy gazing upon it occasionally while in the bathroom reading the literature that came with the barrel and trigger group. Oops, did I say too much? Well you said that we could read it in the bathroom….. Oh just forget it. I’m just gonna act as though this this conversation never took place and go watch The Yankee Marshal. He is much more relatable anyway.
Cool video. i have seen a few disassembling/cleaning video and I keep getting surprised that people use their fingers to spread out lubricant. I personally use a piece of cloth (same type as what one would use to clean a shotgun). My fingers stay in my cleaning gloves. I am under the impression that lubricant are not designed to be on your skin. My input for 2 cents.
Not bad but try to hold the sear/bolt back after cycling open and slowly close but hold open like there is a bullet that hasn't fed into the chamber right and pull the trigger ,that particular design will allow bullet to be struck when out of battery .most would say that it's only a 22 but safety precautions should always be worn ,glasses ,earplugs and don't forget the little yellow range guard
Those are hard to install usually, the flat is something I’ll definitely try next time. I’ve beveled the edges and oiled them and still fought them all the way in.
On some Rugers (many) it is perfectly fine BUT, try not to make it a habit or do it at all really. You may forget you're not using a Ruger that particular time and a pin slamming into the back of a breach can destroy it. So they not to do it at all.
I can't believe you have to buy the pins a screw separately that is just crazy and cheap it should come with the trigger group or the receiver I guess it just another way to screw the buying public
There are many different pin and screw options and we prefer to let the customer choose their own as they customize their firearm, the fact that we did not include these items are why we are able to offer one of the most affordable receivers on the market.
You obviously have never built an AR15 let alone a 10 22. One of the great advantages to building is being able to choose the parts you prefer. You might think that pins for the trigger assembly are just pins but some people want anti walk pins or stainless steel pins or black pins, etc. And some people have more money than other people.
This gun reminds me of that “one piece at a time” song by Johnny Cash. Not one single component is a matching color. 😂
Great song!
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. But that gun is not beautiful to my beholding eyes. Expensive but not beautiful..
😂👍
SCAR had it much worse.
@@toxicmatrix1337 agreed, 50 shades of FDE. you'd think FN with all their resources could get the paint to match.

Best of luck man
How did you do Mark/happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Red barrel and green trigger group. Merry Christmas!
That’s what I was thinking!

Ordered a BRN-22 this week, this video is exactly how i planned my next build.
Id like to see accuracy results with this rifle

KIDD makes really good 10/22 components...
Yes, I have all kidd internals but the single stage trigger was worth every penny! breaks at 1.25 pounds it is the fastest trigger I have.
You guys need an overhead camera setup for to bench shots
Great video as always. One suggestion I would make is to degrease the mounting holes and screws for the optics mounting plate. Not as much recoil as larger calibers but still a good practice to have.
Do you just do that with rubbing alcohol?
Yes -alcohol or any degreaser works fine and i use a cotton swab for the smaller parts.
Nice! Wasn't sure about the barrel at first, but I like it.
Black optic mount with the silver receiver? Green trigger group with red barrel? And you think an AR15 red anodized receiver is not acceptable?
I have a redlower parts kit on my ar and love it thank you very much
Thanks for the build info. Questionable color choices though. Tell us the truth. You grabbed those parts when the boss wasn't looking right?
John is great. Very good mods.
Can't go wrong with Volquartsen. Premium $$, but also premium parts.
Yeah No Trigger is worth anything more than the price of a Ruger BX Trigger,not to me,never noticed any difference from a $250 dollar trigger or $100 dollar trigger from Ruger

No, we do not recommend using any thread locker on those screws.
@@brownells Thank you!

When you do these builds it would be nice if you provided a parts list
Hey, speaking of color anodizing on AR15s, you still got that blue mag button, or is it *just* red anodizing?
Nice! Wanted a video like this from y'all 👍👍
Very sweet. Nice Nice Nice !
Mine finally came in today
Same rifle, Caleb? I know it's hopefully to become a future rifle of Brownells.
That really is a cute(if there is such a thing) looking specimen. I’m not sure that it should be shot. I would just enjoy gazing upon it occasionally while in the bathroom reading the literature that came with the barrel and trigger group. Oops, did I say too much?

Oh just forget it.

He is much more relatable anyway.
Does/will @Brownells, inc make a 10/22 Takedown version?
Yes! That video launches Friday!
Yes, but I wish they would bring back the non-railed takedown reciever!
What was wrong with the other video that was made? His previous and current build seemed pretty decent
The bolt should be installed and the extractor slot timed to bolt before v-block installation
Hard as I try, I just can’t figure out how to build one when I can’t get a 10-22 receiver in Illinois, I know it’s not your problem, it’s Illinois!!!
A nice holiday to Iowa or Indiana (I’m assuming you are somewhere near Chicago?)
Looks easy enough. 👍

Certain ‘lubricants’ are DEFINITELY designed to be on your skin 😜
You won't melt from a little grease. Or maybe you will who knows.

What tool box is that?
Red is the new pink.
I thought the red anodizing joke was funny hahaha
How do I get the parts list of what parts I need to bild the gun?
Why not lube it before it went together? Sounds dry.
Purpose of flat on buffer? Orientation of flat on buffer?
Those are hard to install usually, the flat is something I’ll definitely try next time. I’ve beveled the edges and oiled them and still fought them all the way in.
This rifle looks like you went into the parts room with a blindfold on and made a rifle with whatever you grabbed.
I'm wondering if someone ever made a 10/22 Bren gun. That's top feeding. That would be the best way to use worn out butler check 25 round mags.
How much was this project
does brownells sell that green case?
found it-armorers case gen 3
Where do we get that tool box?
It rhymes with Brownells
11:00 is missing a "get your mind out of the gutter"
Had issues with my Victor Chassis - got nothing but a hard time from the owner of the company...
Wilson Combat FUDD grease
Google thinks FUDD is a different language. When I selected it to translate for me, it became no joke “benefit”😂
Dry fire rim fire is okay?
Some are, some aren't. The Volquartsen firing pin is a tool steel, iirc, and won't break from dry firing.
On some Rugers (many) it is perfectly fine BUT, try not to make it a habit or do it at all really. You may forget you're not using a Ruger that particular time and a pin slamming into the back of a breach can destroy it. So they not to do it at all.
I wouldn't make a habit of it with rimfire. Though in this case it needs a function check.
According to Ruger it's ok.
I’ve never heard someone make something so simple sound so complicated…
10/22 'best' ... hell no, not even close!
No worry's, I've got plenty of practice trying to get something soft into tight holes. I pull cable for a living, you sicko's.
When I need gun oil I reach for Bigun Sildenafoil
How to make a $2000 version of a $300 gun....
Not a build, it's an assembly to a pre-made stock. A build would be a hand made stock, plus all the other parts.
Build and assemble are synonyms. So it's a build.
@@brownells Ikea furniture is a assembly, cutting, glueing and building a cabinet is a build. You assembled.
Don't use extensions on torque wrenches, ever!
Why?
@@waitwhat3707 It's perfectly fine.
That’s more for heavy torque not really critical on 25 inch lbs

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that thing is butt ugly. But, interesting you made a 10/22in less time than it took me to finish my beer.
Caleb used to do stuff we could make fun of him. Now not so much. He's obviously a great guy, and a good sport, but these videos are not as fun.
