This Is My 10/22 Rifle. What Does Yours Look Like?

[Big Frank]

Stop.  Stop.   I really had no idea all of the upgrades and accessories that are available for 10/22.  My head hurts now.

I've sold all but these two off.  The Tac-Sol Barrel and  Hogue Tactical stock is real light weight.  That's  Burris FastFire 3 sight on it.

Here's a picture of the target 10/22 heavy barrel.  Able to make the Kessel run in 10 parsecs...   NO NO. Uh able to do almost 1 MOA at 50yds with CCI SV.  It's topped with a Nikon P-Rimfire 2-7x32mm, which Nikon has since gotten out of the rifle scope business.  Too Bad I like their scopes.

   Han Solo Made The Kessel Run in Less than 12 Parsecs. A lot of people think parsecs are a unit of time, like X number of seconds. But a parsec is actually a unit of length (19.2 trillion miles). Han made the run in in less than 230.4 trillion miles, but no one knows how long it took. George Lucas probably thought it was a cool sounding sciencey word, but didn't know what it was. I could make it to work in less than 13 miles, but that doesn't tell you how fast my truck was going. So why would anyone brag about what distance they can travel from point A to point B?

P.S. I see why so many people just love that Cascade Cartridge Inc. standard velocity ammo.

Today's trivia: CCI was founded by Dick Speer, the brother of Vernon Speer, who founded Speer Bullets. The more you know. This has been a Public Service Announcement.

Wasn't it because of the uncharted Maw Nebulae and Maw blackhole that everyone had to navigate way around that area, hence the accomplishment was how short a distance a ship traveled to make the trip.  And at those speeds is the actual time relevant?  Thank goodness Han had some Coaxium on board to give him the necessary boost to avoid the blackhole.  I wonder if it was made the Cascade Coaxium Inc?

I don't know about all that. I'm not that much of a Star Wars nerd. But Han Solo carried a Glock Blaster. I can tell that's what it is because it looks like a cheap piece of plastic.

My 10/22, Mark II, and Mark II 22/45 parts from TandemKross should be here Saturday. One thing I want for my 10/22 that they don't have is a hex head stock screw. They have a Twister Titanium Takedown Knob for Ruger 10/22 by Rim/Edge for 25 bucks, but I don't want that. I'll have to see Ruger has stock screws in stock, to screw into my stock, to take the place of my old slotted screw. If it takes the same hex key as the barrel band, that's a bonus. I already have one stowed in my pistol grip's rubber plug.

I just saw that Ruger is making a Mini-14 with Side-Folding Stock, for a Suggested Retail Price of $1849.00. The walnut stock features a stainless side-folder, made from original Ruger casting tooling, and an injection molded polymer pistol grip. If anyone needs a B-Team 10/22 stock to match it, Samson makes them in black or stainless finish. They make a B-Team Bull Barrel Folding Stock for the Ruger 10/22 in black or stainless, too. And an A-Team Folding Stock for the Ruger Mini-14 and Mini Thirty in black or stainless, for anyone who already has one of those rifles. You could buy a Stainless Mini-14 Tactical fixed stock rifle for a Suggested Retail Price of $1489.00, $360 less, and add a Samson Stainless A-TM Folding Stock for $299.99. That's a total of $1,788.99, $60.01 less than buying the Mini-14 with a folding stock on it already, and you'd have an extra stock to sell or keep for later. The $60 you save could be put toward more ammo. My package from Samson should be here Monday.

Han Solo’s BlasTech DL-44 was made from C96 Mauser, a Broomhandle.   The prop was plastic because the bought the base units from a toy company.

That explains the hole in the bottom of the magazine.

I know it was a Broomhandle Mauser. I was trying to be funny, but obviously not being successful at it.

I got packages today from TandemKross, Samson Mfg., and Midwest Industries. I put the new TandemKross Skeletonized Magazine Release for Ruger 10/22 by Rim/Edge in and got everything put together. It's made from lightweight aluminum, only .02 oz, and I like this one a lot better than the plastic extended mag release I had before. I have some elastic Retaining Bands from Tactical Tailor on some of my slings. I can fold the sling  up into the loop to keep it out of the way when I put the gun in the safe. It keeps them all from getting tangles up, and when I want to use the sling I just pull it out. The band stays on the sling. TT quit selling them, but small Ranger Band will work. If you don't want to buy them, buy a bicycle inner tube and cut some 1" bands out of it.

I just noticed TandemKross said about the mag release,"COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Compatibility with aftermarket trigger housings and older production Ruger aluminum housings not guaranteed." Mine is aluminum, and I think it's 47 years old this year. I didn't have any trouble with compatibility.

I just loaded my 110-round GSG drum for the first time. It says right on the back of it not to use waxed ammunition, so I filled it with Stingers. I saw somewhere online that said it would hold 118 rounds, but it won't work if you put that many in it, so you need to count the rounds as you load it. CCI boxes you can dump 5 at a time from makes that easier. I tried seeing if it held more than 110 rounds and it took 118 just like that person said. Then I took the 8 extra rounds out and put them back in the box. One of these days years I need to see if this thing works. Someone on YouTube said you can leave it loaded indefinitely, so I'm leaving it loaded. It's a pain in the but to load 110 rounds, one at a time, and when it's time to shoot I don't want to waste any more time.

After I loaded my 10/22 drum mag, I unloaded it and reloaded it with Aguila Supermaximum ammo, which I have a whole brick of. They call it the fastest 22 rimfire on the market. The 30-grain round delivers 1,700 feet per second of muzzle velocity. The Stinger 22 LR 32 Grain bullet has a Muzzle Velocity of 1640 feet per second. I re-sorted my .22 bulk ammo last week. I took the CCI shot capsule loads out and put them in a Ziploc bag with the crimped shot loads. I also took out the CCI Clean-22 and 2 Fiocchi coated rounds and put them in a bag together. I took the CCI Stingers and identical looking Winchester Xpediter (30% faster than high velocity) shells out and put them in a bag together. It's also a 32gr copper-plated hollow-point, at 1640 fps, with an extended-length nickel-plated case. The only way to tell them apart is by looking at the head-stamp, or poking a paperclip into the the hollow-point. Actually it's more of a semi-hollow-point, like some Aussie Ammo .22 LR I had before. There was some other Winchester ammo that looked just like the Xpediter, except it has a round-nose bullet in a standard-length case. I left those mixed in with the other ~1,800 rounds of .22 LR. I was trying to get the coated/plated bullets out so I can use that ammo in the drum, but the Remington Yellow Jacket and Viper ammo, and all the other "golden bullets" were so worn it was hard to tell which ones were copper-plated and which weren't. They were also covered with wax from the other bullets, and thus more likely to gum up my drum, and no one likes a gummy drum.
