Because I can not leave well enough alone....I'm starting a thread on the modifications I'm doing to my Ruger 10/22 take down Carbine.
This is the first of a few.... The Bolt catch: there are more than a couple vids on youtube on how to do this one.....but if you know your 10/22....it's simple either way. Look at the "V" atop the catch.....note that all you do is grind it out to the shape of a triangle.... 
What this does...is allow you to keep a loaded magazine in the mag well...this can be done safely due to the fact that it is not a complete firearm when broke down. When you snap the 2 halves together....all you have to do to load is tug back on the charging handle about 3/16" to dis-engage the catch. You can buy a modified piece from various parts catalogs and online stores....but this is very.....very simple. However....if unsure...don't attempt. Next up will be the installation of a scout scope rail....stay tuned.. |

Cool. What are your thoughts so far? I've been wanting a 10/22 for years and finally picked one up from a friend last week. I like the idea of the takedown though.

I have to say that looks bad ass.
Can I ask why you went with a scout rail over just a receiver rail? I opted for a receiver rail and a scope with QD rings. I might get some 77/22 sights as I was told there are 1/8" taller that the 10/22. Which are somewhat hard to see past the rail. Whats your backup plan if the scope goes down for some reason doing a hike or whatever? |

The barrel detaches....I'd rather have the optics stay with the barrel than the receiver. The sights pic'ed above will add about 8" to the sight radius. |

The scout rail and something like a Fastfire or Trijicon RMR would be ideal for that gun. Might even think about "melting" the optic into the rail for an even lower mount.

So I had an issue with the rear of the receiver wanting to lift....due to the fact that the forearm and barrel band are not part of the unit.....
The fellow from one of the Ruger boards had the same issue.....he put in a set screw.....so I followed suit.....

You also could have placed a block, or cross bolt, across the stock that fits into the receiver/trigger frame gap. Which would limit up and down movement without placing pressure on the receiver.

I cerakoted the gun black, cut barrel to 16.25 and threaded the barrel. Still thinking about optics. I mounted a scope on the gun, but it seem to change the handling characteristics too much. Thinking about a Trijicon RMR or mini ACOG

Just to keep terms straight, a short eye relief scope is a standard scope. like most deer rifles use. An Intermediate eye relief scope is what you want, as it is commonly referred-to as a Scout scope. Extended eye relief scopes are usually pistol scopes. However, some Burris variable-power pistol scopes have the ability to be very nice Scout scopes, and I suggest you consider them. Not cheap, but quality seldom is so. Slap an inexpensive red-dot on there for proof of concept, and then start saving. |

For the roll that I would put that gun in, BUIS are not required. This is range toy, not a defensive firearm.
Echo: On that groove in the rail, you are correct. Before I got a scope on it, I was shooting 2 liters at 50 yards.
