10/22 mods?

[ThreeFingerPete]

With the amount of drop at 100yds it would be next to worthless at 20yds

4 inches low at 100, 2 inches high at 50. 20 should be pretty close to flat.

Not sure if it's me, my iron sights, or something else but I've put close to 500 rounds through my rifle and I find it shoots to the left. Trying to figure out why.


Here's an easy free mod that CJ told me about.

Or you could just zero your scope @ 100y. That's always a thought.

I shot my 10/22 for the first time today and I have to say the irons are pretty badass, even out to 100 yds. Yea there is some drop, but a scope wont help much with that unless you get a Nikon with BDC or a mil-dot. Otherwise, you just gotta compensate.

Yea the only problem I faced was the place where the charging handle rode on the spring kept binding up since the rifle is so new. Even after oiling the shit out of it, it seized up a bit because of how it tweaks that rod when you pull back on it w/o anything to keep it straight. I'll try your way next time.

Yeah the binding thing is normal, they will always do that. Just bring the charging handle all the way back until it stops, then hold it there, slide your bolt onto it (it will not lock yet) then slowly release the charging handle and push the bolt down into it, it should lock in.

Yeah it takes a little experience, but it's damn easy when you get it down. Trick is to install the spring and charging handle. Pull it back by grabbing the handle with one hand, and then use your index finger to push down the spring side all the way down till it stops. Then hold it at the charging handle, slide your bolt in. While pushing down on the bolt, release the charging handle and it will snap down into place.

I made the mistake of buying one of the plastic lip Butler Creek mags, and damn they suck. I had about 10 misfeeds out of about 400 rounds fired out of it today. I will DEFINITELY be getting the metal lipped ones and a mag loader for it. Otherwise, this gun will stay as-is for a while. Its a total blast to shoot and costs almost nothing.

The only bitch is the tear-down. Getting that bolt back in and lined up with the charging handle is a PITA.

I dont know exactly where I got the info, but ar15 has a bunch of free info-

There is a good thread.

Thanks for the links.

A suppressor is a must have accessory for the 10/22. Also some kind of trigger work is needed; the factory trigger on the 10/22 is horrible.

Lastly, get one of these-

They quiet the gun down exponentially.

all they are is a 1/4" piece of delrin rod, just FYI. IF someone orders a few feet you can cut everyone on the board a buffer.

I did a trigger job to my rifle years ago with some info I found on the net, but I will be ordering a volquartsen (sp?) soon.

Fajen adjustable stock, Vortex Viper 6-20x50, volquartsen sear, lots of time in the saddle.
