I tacticooled my Ruger 10/22

It runs?

Yes, how does it run?

I kinda sorta want one, just for the Earth-shattering power of Mikhail's cartridge wrapped by the ergonomic orgasm that Mattel birthed unto the world.

Awesome tacti-cool candy cane. I assume that is the same kind as used by the FBI, delta force, and marines. Right?

( nifty 10/22 too!)

[zombie_kibble]

i have the same thing on my 10/22 and the front handguard was the same way. if u sand a little plastic off the top cover of the receiver it will bring it back up to level

Optics finally came in and I finally got it to the range. The strike fire red dot is a great little cheap site. It was way off when first trying to zero it but after a few three shot groups it was dead on. I was shooting center of the black from 25 out to 100 yards. I highly recommend this red dot.

I think I might get one for my AR.

Pretty cool!! I was pondering on whether to get the Archangel kit, the other one (forgot the part number, the folding stock one). Then I built my second 10-22 (which was going to be my tacticooled) 10-22 for my nine year old daughter when she suddenly took an interest in shooting. I took a factory stock and cut it down for her. Put the original barrel back on it. And now she has the biggest grin ever!!!
Ruger 10-22- $250ish, cutting ebay factory stock down- $15 dollars, New 10-22 for Daddy's next project and the grin of another generation of shooters and on top of it being my own Daughter? PRICELESS!
Go have fun with your new toy!

LOL my daughter (11 years old) laughs at me when I take the Archangel 10/22 out of the safe. I am not sure how to feel when an 11 year old says . . . hey daddy you gonna go shoot your plastic gun today?

Grrrr, it might be plastic girl but it shoots just fine.

[MrM4Guy]

LOL!

I missed this question a while ago.

The Colt AR-15 I have is chambered in 7.62x39 and it shoots just like the ones chambered in .223 only it's effective range is much further then the .223, and the ammo is much cheaper. Well it used to be cheaper nowadays all ammo is expensive.

You're calling me out on what? Whether I have a colt Ar-15 in 7.62x39, or whether the effective range is further?

[Doctorr Fabulous]

I don;t see how 7.62x39 has a longer effective range then 5.56. I guess I shoudl ask how you're defining effective range.

Its not really how I define effective range. It's about the round, and more importantly the platform it's being fired from. In this case it's all about the platform. When I say 7.62x39 you immediately think AK-47 type rifle. I'm not firing that platform, I'm firing an AR-15 platform.

When you see the AK firing in high speed camera footage you can see why the effective range is only 150 meters. Press the bang button and that thing jumps and shakes like it needs epilepsy pills. But that's the way it was designed, and that's why it is the most popular rifle on the planet. Those loose tolerances mean you can use it in almost any environment without having it jam.


The AR on the other hand is rock solid. But it requires more time keeping it in working order which is why it is chosen by folks who want accuracy.


So, now I am firing a MUCH more massive round, with with a higher muzzle energy out of a MUCH more stable platform. So in the end it's really about comparing apples and apples here. 7.62 out of an AR and 5.56 out of an AR.

Trust me when I tell you the AR-15 chamber in 7.62x39 is a more effective long range weapon then an AR-15 firing the 5.56x45. Which is why people who actually hunt deer with the AR chamber it in 7.62x39.

If you like it then cool. I prefer the original stocks myself, however I am going to have to "Tacticool" my wife's 10/22 with a ATI Strikeforce stock due to the fact that the original stock is to long for her and finding a good price on a Youth Stock is difficult. let alone finding one right now.

Can't you just shave a few inches off the stock and put the butt pad back on?

I could but it is a Synthetic making it a little more difficult.

[rustypipes]

I assume you don't have an AR?

So fucking what if he dont

[Gun_Nut_2k1]

You know I sold a few of those archangel kits back in the day. I wish I could get my hands on one of the bayos now. It would make for a great blocker when making sheaths.

Grrrr, it might be plastic girl but it shoots just fine.

The worst part is she is probably making fun of your Glock and not your 22lr.

Wat?

This is - a mess.

Platform has nothing to do with it, albeit that the AR platform has a better chance of long distance accuracy due to a presumably free floated barrel and no interaction with a carrier mounted piston.

The round is roughly double the weight at 123gr (.311 truncated, not a true .308) with an SD of .182@2300fps MV./ 1500ft#. We'll figure the standard M855 NATO 62gr 5,56 bullet at 3100fps MV/1303ft#. Numbers get better yet with Mk262. Really in the grand scheme of things, it's a wash. The 200 extra ft#'s is beneficial for that little extra punch under 150yrds, but over that diminishing returns prevail.

The last sentence just doesn't work. They're both medium range carts, one optimized for short range and lob, the other for distance and yaw. Plenty of folks hunt with a 5.56AR, I do all the time. 5,56 has more options on loads than the 7,62 Russian, especially for hunting. Use the right bullet for the job.

+1 on the Vortex Strikefire. I use it on my AR and love it. Mine was also terribly off when zeroing in. Like nearly a foot @ 100yds. However simple adjustments made and it shoots great, good solid mount. I havent had any problems with the mount coming loose or it holding zero.
