Friday Gun Pr0n #170

Today's gun pic comes to us courtesy of Tim in Seattle, the kind donor of the Butler Creek folding stock currently on my Ruger 10/22. Tim mentioned that he had several 10/22s that he had customized, and promised to send pictures along when he got a chance. They were worth waiting for:

Custom Ruger

Now that there is one sexy lookin' rimfire. Here's the modifications in Tim's words:

1st up is my first 10/22, purchased new and never even fired before the conversion.
Rhineland Leopard stock, BSA Sweet 22 scope 6-18x40 w/shade and Millett rings,
Green Mountain 18" fluted heavy 0.920 barrel threaded for custom drilled compensator and drilled and tapped for Volquartson barrel mounted weaver rail, Power Custom hammer, sear, trigger, Volquartson extractor, bolt release and bolt handle, Polymer bolt stop, Tactical Solutions mag release. the bolt and inner receiver wear areas were polished and the back of the receiver was drilled to allow cleaning the barrel without disassembly. I'm still ammunition testing but with Remington Subsonic I've done a couple 0.35" groups at 50 yards.

Yeah. That'll do.

That is all.

Does the compensator do anything? I can't imagine even the more peppy .22 Super-sonic would have much gas pressure after traveling down that pipe...

still a slick gun, I bet she puts them right where you want them!

That's some powerful medicine for the impending groundhog-zombie invasion. Yes siree, powerful medicine indeed.

Looks lethal....but....why are the scope rings so tall?
