Steve - smooth as glass. A real pro.
I agree with the pinned comment on Caleb’s 10/22 build. Y’all should make these builds available as a full kit on the website, along with the third build using the clear anodized receiver. That would be pretty cool!
I could watch you and Caleb all day. Very informative, great tone, I feel like I'm watching family explaining the intricacies of firearms. Love the channel!
It's a very nice build but I always replace the Ruger standard barrels (The Ruger heavy bull barrels are generally ok )with a good quality replacement like ER Shaw, Volquartzen, etc.
The newest Ruger OEM barrels are quite good. I would not call them "Match Grade", but for the average shooter, most will find them quite acceptable.
@@onmilo I haven't bought a new standard model Ruger 10/22 in the last 7 yrs or so.
The last 5 I built would barely shoot inside a 1 1/2'' group at 25 yards with the factory standard barrel even with higher quality ammo. My ER Shaw match barrel shoots most everything in a small all bullets touching group at twice that distance. I think if a person is already buiding 1 they might as well spend the extra for a good barrel.
@@frankbrowning328 Exactly! Buy once, cry once!
I have a "box stock" 10/22 I bought in the late 80's. With 550-rd bulk box Federal 36 grn HP high velocity rounds*, I got 10-rd groups at 50 yds (4x32 B&L scope, indoor range, seated, sandbag rest) you can cover with a dime.
*Rounds were weighed on a digital reloading scale, and separated in groups by 1/10th grn weight differences. Ten rounds from five weight groups (middle of the distribution of weights) were shot to determine which weight shot best in the rifle. A lot of work, but I ended up with almost 80 rounds (out of 550) in the most accurate weight, and another 75 or so rounds in the second most accurate weight, which is still good enough for headshots on squirrels at 50 yards. A second 550-round box of the same round, with the same batch number, shot exactly the same.
@@johnmc8785 Thats the most accurate standard 10/22 I'ved ever heard of. I'd keep that one as is
Good idea to center the extractor in the barrel slot before tightening the wedge bolts.
Thanks for the video. Simple and to the point. Very informative.
GREAT and ENJOYABLE video, thank you!
Awesome Job Steve and Caleb ..🎉🎉
Well done Steve. Thanks buddy
Great build. Have to have one.
Great video guys👍🏼
Another awsome video, I love getting notifications on new vids , keep up the good work guys 👍
Great job
Wow how did I not know the 10/22 was THAT easy to put together!? I want to swap my 18 inch barrel out with a 16 inch but didn't want to bring it in
10-.22's are really simple to work on, look at more videos and have some fun.
Thanks Steve, good info masterfully presented . (NB to the crew: look after that wall clock.)
Looks like it needs batteries.
Makes me want to do a 22 build
RESPECT!
I built a BRN-22 a few years ago. Turned into a great gun, but it’s the roughest 10/22 receiver I’ve ever handled. Took lots of break in to smooth out, and still isn’t near as smooth as a Ruger.
My 10/22 has a great 1.75lb trigger. Used a broken piece of arkansas wet stone. Free
Great stuff, Steve. 10/22 is still one of my fav guns to shoot.
I imagine the Volquartsen has the bolt stop that hold open on the last round? It's been a while I remember changing out the Ruger one for a Volqurtsen that had that feature on a older 10/22 I had.
Now we need to see how it shoots
I have two .22 I built 35 Yeats ago. Best Squirrel guns.
Thank you
Okay, you say you're going to put an optic on "down the road". The problem I see is that the base you have is very tall in profile and will block the present standard iron sights.
I like the ateam folding stock for the 1022
Wish someone made a bm-59 folder style stock for it though
I had a toolbox cart drawer full of factory 10/22 barrels from customers that no longer wanted them after I installed a threaded or bull barrel on their rifle. Shameful I would have given them all away but I had to trash them after I retired. As long as I was in business no customer ever came in wanting a factory 10/22 barrel.
The factory barrels are honestly excellent, it's rimfire after all, it's not like they wear out. But yeah, people get obsessed with aftermarket parts and throw away perfectly good parts, basically how I built mine and it's perfectly good.
why did you have to trash them?
Nice STORY. I doubt it's true.
Good VIdeo
Head-eyes simulator. Jager would be pleased.
A man of taste
Quick question... What's up with the spent AT4 rocket launcher in the background? Great job on the new rifle by the way!
The Ruger BX trigger won't go to "safe" if the gun isn't cocked. You can dry-fire it and then the safety will sit at the halfway point, making it easier to assemble/disassemble.
Why do you need the safety if the gun is dead…?
What's the advantage in that receiver?
💯
Ok how much? What stock did you use.
👍🏻
In attaching the barrel bracket, would it be advisable/necessary to apply a bit of Locktite (purple)?
I would think the bolt handle could use some, but wouldn’t worry about the barrel..
I am to lazy or cheap to purchase the last 3 parts to build one
Receiver tolerances aren't that tight if the barrel just falls in.
Hey why isn't anyone building the 10/22 magnum versions ?😏😎
Can you turn your .22LR into a .22 mag, just be switching out the barrel?
And; can you get all the parts needed to build those neat little .44 Magnum carbines???
Great little gun to pack when your in "BEAR" country !!!!
There is almost no support for the 22 magnum. There are a few companies out there that make receivers but they may not be in business anymore. Ruger needs to figure it out using modern design and bring back the 1022 Magnum
@sixgunnerdotorg4425 a nice little Deerfield carbine would be a gem. They sell for way more than they were new. Much like the Marlin 880SQ. 😘
"It's a .22, not a .416 Rigby...". 😂
costs ?
A lot.
The bolt and trigger group alone are over $600! For rimfire! Better to leave it stock and buy a CZ .22 bolt action for better accuracy.
Read the post? Bolt action, and that will give better accuracy then semi auto, and the CZ has a hammer forged barrel as well, much higher quality piece then a 10-.22, if accuracy is what you're going for. But it's rimfire, how much can you expect?@sixgunnerdotorg4425
So simple a caveman could do it.😉
Why is it that your rifle took half the time as your partner needed?
$1000 for a 10/22 with few or no Ruger parts is on option some prefer or ~$600 for a Tikka T1X or CZ 457 bolt action rifles plus more if one wants a chassis is another option. Base Ruger is $280 on sale but many end up replacing many or most parts and end up at $1000+.
True. The only benefit here is that you can spread the cost out over time. Barrel first and the rest later on.
Bergara BXR. Excellent as is or customize.
@@cleetismcdougall5425 CVA is a shady company.
A Marlin 880SQ was better than all of them, unfortunately they are impossible to come by. The 10/22 is like a small block Chevy or Glock. The less OEM parts they have, the better they are.
So what? Some people have money to burn.
Difference between men and boys.
I would like to build a 10/22. Just can’t justify paying $1500 for all the parts. Sure is expensive to buy everything from the Brownells website.
I got most of my parts from Ebay, new barrel, stock and BX trigger group as I had a bolt and receiver already. You can get take off new parts and build a nice one for less than new depending on how many mods you want.
Having an unlimited inventory of parts to build a 10/22 is gee whiz, I can do whatever I want. Not really realistic for most people. May as well put in gold plated parts.
Hmmm. Gold plated. Not a bad idea.
