10/22 Takedown 16" Threaded

[sgtlmj]

Had Tim @ Hangingtreearmory.com do a little barrel work for me. Chopped it back to 16", threaded, and set the front sight boss back. Also hit it with a bead blaster.

I also installed some 77/22 sights, as they are a bit taller. Don't know why Ruger makes the 10/22 sights so low.

Looks good, I also plan on having mine cut back and threaded like you did. I like the idea of the new sights as well. Any plans on a new stock? I was thinking maybe the boyds tacticool would be a fun project.

Gonna stick with this stock for now. Wish they had rigged a compartment in the buttstock though. Lots of wasted space in there that could be used for possibles.

Stuck an AGP Arms folder on my TD today. Just a little filing to accommodate the locking block on the front and it's good to go. The AGP stock holds the rear of the receiver down just fine.

How much was the threading job and new sights? This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

Cut/Crown, setback the sight, thread and bead blast: $75 including return shipping. Sights from Brownells were about $25.

Mine won't be done for another two weeks. My smith had to order the sights so it should be done by the middle of June.

I am having the barrel left at 18" though. Just turning the barrel band down and sights installed behind the threadeding.

i just got mine today, i have a idea that i want to try to do, im gonna talk to someone about making the barrel integerally suppressed, i love this gun

Not a fan of integral suppressors unless you can break them down for cleaning. 22's are nasty.

Like to see that with a Tacticool stock. That would rock

So that is the take-down model? I can't even see the part line in the stock.

Tag!

This is slick! Forwarding a link to a few buddies who are gonna love this.

If I could figure out how to put a scout rail on one I would be all over one of these but with that folder I may just cave in.

Very nice.

I've just put together what I'm calling a backpacker/survival rifle. Its a 10/22 with a Butler Creek folding stock. The barrel, like yours, is a 16" threaded barrel with the sight base moved back. I've since installed a set of Nodak Spud sights (rear has the integral rail) and a Bushnell TRS-25. Its still a little heavier than I'd like, but it should be handy. Still waiting for some less humid days here so I can strip it down and do some Duracoating.
