Normally this would be an easy barrel swap, but on the 10-22 RSI (international Stock) it requires a little fitting.
The barrel is the same length as the original.
Problem is the stainless cap that goes over the end of the stock and hugs the barrel is now covering the threads for the suppressor.
Solution was to use a chisel to relive the stock so the stainless cap could sit 5/8 inch more rearward. I really wanted this to look factory original so slow and careful was the way I chiseled.
Turned out pretty good
Price on a new walnut stock/Stainless 10/22 with the RSI international stock is a bargain at $419.
The action is glass bedded all the way up to where the stock is secured to the action. The cap at the end of the stock holds both: the muzzle and the stock together. I have 4 of these, one for me & three for my sons. At 100 yards they shoot about 4.5 inch groups with a red dot. Within 50 yards they are very quick and accurate. Their limitation is the optic.
Pressure on the barrel from the stock is not an issue.
I really want to get the integrally suppressed barrel for my 10/22 takedown. And I’m seriously considering doing a Form 1 for my daughters 10/22. Its such an amazing platform.
They are inexpensive to shoot and are FUN !
Little to no recoil. Little to no blast. They come in a variety of flavors.
They are great tools that fit that small rifle niche.
no other 22lr comes close, or the fact there is a conversion kit for most my firearms to be turned into 22lr if not an actual upper replacement still no, i also desire a suppressor for this probably most…
mine is the old one without the easier magazine release, i also really want to get a new one with a threaded barrel and wooden stock with a thumb hole…
If you don’t mind losing the front sight….a good gunsmith can machine that front sight block down to “round” and thread it for 1/2 x28. I had that done on my Ruger 77/22. It came out great.
The same can be done to a 10/22 barrel.
i too am in the 10/22 cult. i used the 10/22 tactical with the removable flash hider so that i could be ready to thread on my 22 can when i had it off of atf limbo. now ive had it for over a y ear and still havent had time to shoot it. anyways, here is my 10/22.
There ARE a few kits marketed out there for Reloading .22 - but by all accounts I have heard, it’s an exercise in frustration. Last-ditch, S utterly HTF only….
anyways, here is my 10/22.
congrats
