That looks a lot like a Ruger 10/22 with carbine sites, a custom handguard, an applied bayo lug, and a mag attached to the standard flush Ruger mag. Is it?

except its just a regular m1 carb handguard.
the mag is half fake.

it initially shot a little high so i jb welded a bit of wire with the same diameter as the front sight blade to it.
nobody at the range in calverton notices that its fake. of course, there's a more mouth breathers than rocket scientists there.

neat gun, i thought of trying some thing like that with a repo m1a1 stock. but then i wondered if useing m1 sights on a ruger 10/22 wouldnt hurt the accuracy?

The main reason I recognized it is because I'm in the middle of assembling a "Liberty Training Rifle." The Appleseed bunch has come up with a bunch of mods to do to a 10/22 to make it a good trainer for a battle rifle. Among the mods are a Tech Sites M16/AR15-style front and rear (your choice of A1 or A2) sights, an extended mag release, an auto bolt release, and a device that stacks two mags back to back.


(This one also has a handguard and no front band.)

Their solution is outlined HERE and HERE.

The Tech Sites increase the accuracy of the rifle pretty dramatically.

But I like your handguard and the mag is cool!

My first thought was that it was one of those very rare ERMA .22 mag. carbines. I have the .22 variety by Iver Johnson. Shoots well but gets quite powder fouled at the breech.




ERMA is in the center. Last one is BB rifle

As before. I thought his .22 mag might be a rare Erma 22 mag Guess not. I have a Iver Johnson .22 (post Erma) Shoots great but powder fouls easy. Bottom rifle is a BB rifle. Built by Crossman.

Rifle is cocked by pushing straight down on the barrel towards the sights!

I don't need one but I like it!
