Easy affordable 10/22 upgrades
Not looking to sporterize. I prefer she stays in the wood furniture. I've added the Volquartzen Automatic Bolt Release, Extended Mag Release, and the BX trigger assembly is on order.
Any other cheap functionality/accuracy upgrades I can make?
EDIT: use purpose for this gun. Shooting small animals, concentric circles, zombie DPRK dictators, and any other small game that appears printed on paper. By easy I mean a fairly simple installation done by someone who is not a gunsmith and the pinnacle of smithing tools owned are punches and a torque driver.

Buffer pins for the bolt is good upgrade for a few bucks. So the bolt stops against polymer pin and not metal.KYgundude wrote:Not looking to sporterize. I prefer she stays in the wood furniture.

Maybe a threaded barrel and a can.

As for the can, I have never had one and have very little interest in dealing with NFA bullshit. I have enough things in my life right now to piss me off.

Re: Easy affordable 10/22 upgrades
I agree with Dustin. Buffer pin should finish it off very nicely. You'll be happy you spent what you did on the BX-trigger, unless you grossly overpaid...haha VERY nice upgrade for the cost! The auto bolt release is great also. Only other thing I'd say are the factory barrels are inconsistent. One will be very accurate and the next will be not very good accurate at all. That's just luck of the draw on barrels.

Came to $75.06 with tax and shipping. Seemed a good price. FedEx says it will arrive Wednesday.Niceguy wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 6:30 pmI agree with Dustin.

A dedicated 22 can and standard velocity ammo is a whole lot of fun. You can shoot anywhere there’s a safe backstop and the folks next door will never be the wiser.KYgundude wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 5:49 pmThanks man.

Re: Easy affordable 10/22 upgrades
I've done it. As a kid I used to shoot in my father's buddy's basement. No basement here. No room to shoot here. It's a range toy.Elkins45 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 7:47 pmA dedicated 22 can and standard velocity ammo is a whole lot of fun.

Re: Easy affordable 10/22 upgrades
Not bad at all... You'll be glad you did at that price I'm sure. They are what they should have in them from the factory... Crazy they don't in my opinion.KYgundude wrote:Came to $75.06 with tax and shipping. Seemed a good price.
