Tricked out Ruger 10/22

#1 Post by Dukemeister »

Here is is tricked out as much as I imagined what it needed and I wanted.
3D printed: Muzzle cover, scope rail, magazine storage, barrel mounted weaver rail for bipod or flash light.
Purchased: rifle sling & slip on recoil pad. And the scope is a 3-9x40 AO 10 yd min (it goes to 5 yd no problem).
I was inspired by many things I saw on-line but in the end I made everything from scratch, with quite a few prototypes that are now scrap. Ib particular the scope rail went from Weaver, to dovetail to Weaver and dovetail which works great! Printed in CF/PETG it's strong and stiff. I've ordered a dot sight for it with Wearer mount so the dual rail will be very handy.
Unsuccessful: 3D printed extra magazine pellet clips. No idea why, they fit OK but shoot 80-100 fps slower than injection moulded OEM clips.
I'm still working on the power tune, currently shooting 7.6 gr wads at 445 fps @70 F. :drinkers:

Yeah, thanks. That was a definite success. Out of necessity, I had Weaver rings but they were very high, I think too high for scope on a 10 to 20 yd plinker. But I did have the dovetail rings that are about 5mm lower, so Weaver/dovetail mount is just the thing. When I get the dot sight, I'll make use of the Weaver part.
I dint like the commercial recoil pad/ sock. So I designed and printed my signature butt pad. Works for me. I actually like the bit extra LOP.

Well I finally had a chance to work on a power tune and it worked out perfectly.
I drilled a second vent hole in the valve opposite side roughly 180 degrees. The PAL version had 3 holes at 120 degrees. Anyhow, I was aiming at another matching hole, 0.062" dia but I drilled by hand and managed to ovalize the hole so it ended up a bit oversized, about 0.068". Nonetheless the result speaks for itself. This 10 shot string shot double action about 10s between shots. I'm very satisfied with this result and don't plan for any other mods.
I can now strip the Ruger in about 10 minutes and about the same time to reassemble. Took me about an hour to put the hole in the valve. :drinkers:

Lol I had to do a double take on the pictures, Ruger on the breech was weird and it being black, ok maybe the new ruger 10/22's have that
But you see the square hole for the standard 10/22 mag and the shape and proportions are right.
Then you see the red round mags on the back and say "Huh, that is an air rifle!?!"

Looks very Ruger factory optioned looking. Well done.
