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.
Check out these Tech Sights for your 10/22Quote:

I will definitely check those out! Thanks.
Someone one the CMP forum was making two different flavors of carbine repro stocks for the 10/22... interesting but didn't bit...
I have carbines, so why bother... but it's interesting....
I tried to find the link but couldn't....
The tech sights are great, for some Appleseed shoots, I put a set on my 30yo 10/22, huge improvement over the stock sights...
My daughter likes scopes, and wanted to do AS after I did my 1st one, so we built a new one up for her with a scope. We missed the last AS this past fall and just in April, but did get signed up for July.
Seems the old 10/22's have held their value, due to the "cost effective" changes they made to the latest generation of 10/22..
I happen to trip across the pictures while packing.Quote:

Circa 1986: Top Left clockwise: My son Bernie, age 11, daughter Renee 12, daughter Jennifer, 9, and wife Debbie. I used to have fun when the kids would bet there friends later in life that they shot a submachinegun when they were younger, and I would pull out the pictures.
Hi Rangemaster,
Cool!!! Thats a lot of fun to shoot the MP5. No chnace for kids doing it over here.

I put Tech Sights and a Carbine Sling on mine - close enough
For the most part they can't here. But I was one of the the rangemasters for the Police Dept, and had the family in on a week end. I told my boss after the fact, and fortunately he was also a family man and had done the same in the past. Those were good days...Quote:

My M14 was in the truck.
I like the grease gun. Fired one once .." thunka thunka thunka."
If you were locked in a car with someone, you could hit them. I'll tell you if I was in WW2 coming across Europe and someone gave me one of those to defend myself, I'd say sorry. Much rather have an '03 than that thing. I brought that thing along just for fun until I actually shot it, then, no more. We used to get these weird guns from the chopper pilots.
