I am not normally a fan of this but that looks pretty badass, the perfect look to go with that barrel. Let us know how she shoots.

Will do. I have a feeling that I am going to need to ad some shims to the bottom of the forward. Since it looks to me like it's not lined up with the barrel correctly. I guess once my optics show up and I get it to the range I'll know for sure.

I assume you don't have an AR?

[Paladin1]

Typically not my cup of tea either, but I'd say that for that type of mod you did great. Looks like it would be a great trainer for an AR platform.

Congrats.

Not really. Different fire control. Different magazine operation. Different operation for clearing FTF and FTE. Aside from looks it is not anything like an AR.

Mmm...OK.

I use my AR for AR training. I know some people like to use .22 analogs

I use my AR for AR training. I know some people like to use .22 analogies.

The reason for training with a particular weapon is to make yourself more familiar with the operation and function said weapon (not taking tactics into account). If your training weapon does not have the same operation and function as your go to weapon then you are sort of missing the point (again not taking tactics into account).

But we are getting off topic of the tacticool 10/22

I dont know much about 10/22 or there upgrades. The barrel looked like a heay fluted bull barrel i may be wrong , but is it supposed to be free floating? Meaning it dose not contact the stock to help remove stock pressuer on the barrel and help accuracy.

I don't how accurate the barrel is, but without sights I'd say you're loosing some accuracy!

Yea, I get it. I've had formal training and I compete in multigun. It was just an off hand comment, no need to try to school me, but thanks anyway.

Not trying to school you. Just didn't want people to get the wrong idea. With as many people out there with misconceptions about this that and the other..

I do have an AR mine's chambered in 7.62x39, but .22 is cheap as dirt. I'll shoot a .22 all day long and not apologize one bit for having a blast LOL.

[breacher]

That thing looks awesome! Where did you get the parts I've never seen a tactical .22 like that! My kid would be stoked to shoot that.......... (me also) nice work!

The stock is designed for a free floating barrel, and yes it is a free floating barrel.

I don't how accurate the barrel is, but without sights I'd say you're loosing some accuracy!

Which is why I haven't taken it to the range yet.

My optics have not arrived yet.

This is going on top of it.

Nice 10/22, bro. I am sure you enjoy the heck out of it once your optics arrive...


Tacticool 22lr aside, there sure is a whole lot of dick measuring going on in this thread. Calm down killers.
