Once you get in there its self explanatory.

Tech sights, FTW.

I need to do something to one of mine, both are stock. I should throw a 3x9 on one.

You can make the bolt auto release with some snips and a file iirc

I am very happy with my KIDD stuff, I have the auto bolt release, bolt handle, mag release, and bolt buffer. I have a heavy target barrel on mine and switched to an archangel target stock recently over my custom I had before. Get the bolt buffer for sure, makes a big difference and they are cheap.

I'm going with a Boyd's thumbhole and a Green Mountain 18" .920 barrel.

So bringing this back up to the top as I'm planning on doing some mods to my 10/22 over the holidays and looking over some of the suggestions here. So far I'm planning on upgrading the mag release, auto bolt release, bolt handle, maybe an upgraded stock, and a powered scope of some kind. Besides the normal suppliers like Midway, I saw Kidd Innovative Designs, Clark Custom Guns, and VQ (which I'm assuming is Volquartsen Custom.

I'm looking at this being a fun (cheap) plinker that me and my nephews can shoot and the upgrades I have in mind are to improve the functionality. Any other suggestions you guys can think of? Is it worth upgrading the trigger while doing the above upgrades? Will I see a big difference with an upgraded barrel? I haven't shot it at any significant distance so I have no idea how accurate the stock stuff is but I would like to give it a try at 50-100 yard ranges.

Kidd and VQ both make excellent stuff for the 10/22.

As does Clark Custom, I have one of their trigger sets, it was like $65 total and included everything, hell of a deal.

You didn't give those chimps money, did you?

Thats funny! but, we shouldnt insult chimps, they are way more intelligent. Yes, i did give those monkeys money, and i got a stock and poo flung at me, and not necessarily in that order... Im a huge fan of Max Brooks, so i got it. Like i said, i stand by my decision, no matter how dumb it was.

[YALE]

or this. I am a HUGE zombie fan, have been for years, and despite other people opinions about the company who made it, i stand by my decision.

If your pockets are deep enough, you cant go wrong with VQ gear.

[WOMACK03]

I went with VQ everything, and also all the things CJ suggested, and it was the best decision I could have made. It ended up costing just under a grand total, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

[CJ]

looks kind of pregnant.
