M1 Carbine Replacement Stock for 10/22 STKRUG-10/22-M1
!
And to think in 1964 you could have bought 4 real M1 Carbines, delivered, for the price of this stock to go on a $200 rifle that already comes with a wood stock. :eek:
Don't get me wrong, I love carbines, but this seems a bit silly to me. :dunno:
The 10/22 is made to be a copy of the carbine, is exactly that and has all of the carbine's attributes. Does it need a new stock? I don't think so. My 10/22 is about 30 years old and would be the weapon I would grab if things went really bad and I had to strike out. When you can toss 3000 rounds into a backpack and have room left, it is a very desirable weapon. And oh yeah, I can kill you with it if I have to.
I got my 10-22 in 1973 as a present from my wife before we were married. That was when walnut was standard. Other than wearing out the spring in the original 10 round magazine, it has been a peach. tens of thousands of rounds and I could count malfunctions on one hand (and all of those were last round failures to feed when the mag spring went. Untold cotton tails, squirrels, and even quail have been simmering in the pot, courtesy of my 10-22
I have never used a scope on it, but can still hit a pop can at 100 yards with it. I just wish it had front and rear sights like my M1 carbine. A Williams peep would be an acceptable rear, but have not figured out how to have post an wing front. The new mini-14s and 30s have an M1 Carbine style front sight now, though.
I bought my 10-22 about the same year, imarangemaster. I was 10 years old and saved the money from mowing yards.
I must have shot up 100's of blocks of .22 ammo over the years and mine fed hollow points too with no problems at all. I have no idea how many squirrels and rabbits I brought home to my mom.
Boy, she new how to cook rabbits and squirrels. She browned them with flour and grease and then baked them so they made their own gravy. ("health" food!) ;)
Really brings back memories.
I wonder how many of us started out with a 10-22 or still have one in the back corner of our safes, etc?

I still have the Anschütz and Ruger. Nothing better for a young kid then a 22. Cheap to shoot, fun for hours. But then come the bigger guns as we get older and have more money.

I have an old (Remington I think) single shot 22 my sister gave me a long time ago for breaking in the grand children when they are ready. My kids were lucky. They cut their teeth on 22s, but by the time they were in Jr. High, I had them at our Police Range shooting an MP5! (It was handy being the rangemaster!) Pretty cool to be 10 to 13 years old and shoot a full auto! I still have a picture or two floating around somewhere.
Was in 1952. A JC Higgings single shot. I think it was 13.95 brand new.
When I was in the service my brother sold it. So a couple of years ago saw one in the local gun shop and bought it for 95. Inflation and it was used.
Yeah, I got a 10-22 but doesn't shoot like the Browning.
