I'm sure all of these upgrades are fine (and expensive) but, speaking as a 10/22 owner, the rifle is absolutely fine without any of these mods.

Upgrade your 10/22 by replacing virtually everything that Ruger installed on the rifle! Spend your money on some good quality .22lr ammo to see just how good a stock 10/22 can be. I loved the part where you installed the left side charging handle and scope rail, then immediately after suggested installing ANOTHER CHARGING HANDLE!

Bought mine in 1979 79 bucks and still runs like new with thousands of rounds through it. Would never change a thing.

Got my daughter a takedown model a few years ago. Came with a pic rail that's easy to install.

Got my 10/22 in the 80's used from a friend. It's been sitting on the shelf for way too long. Gotta get that thing out. So much fun to plink around with.

I am 62 years old guy I have 5 10/22's with iron sights never spend my money in cosmetics or upgrades & happy to have them the way came from factory 🙂

Frickin nice! I'm gonna add one to my collection.

Skipped buying the 10/22 rifle. Bought a factory receiver and barrel. Fitted the TK bolt and charging handle with a Volquartsen trigger group dropped into a Magpul hunter stock. It works great.

I bought the one with a walnut stock, and put a little Bushnell red dot on top of it. Now I want to build a nice one from the ground up!

I went with KIDD products personally and clammed it in a trek bullpup with bull barrel. so sweet

I have two 10/22's. My first I bought for $49.00 in 1966. It's bone stock and shoots as good as when I bought it. The second has had a mild upgrade or two. Now I'm going all in. And, yes, I'll use these products and more.

I have a few of their parts and they top notch

That natural camo green stock & SS barrel, look awesome!

Only upgrade I did was get the Franklin Amory binary trigger pack by 22 plinkster. Definitely makes a boring 22LR extremely fun and everyone wants to try it after they see it run.

I installed the Better BX? trigger by Ruger, a better extended mag release that goes under the trigger guard, and the bolt release so you just pull the bolt back and let go. So much better. Wish they made last shot bolt stops.

Model 60 Marlin was a tack driver and didn't have to make changes to make it run better and had excellent sights. 🤔🤪🇺🇲

At $374.99 the trigger assy is more than the rifle, I'm sure all that stuff is great, however does it make sense, especially with a factory barrel

Is the upgraded charging handle even necessary if you have the left side charging

I changed the metal pin/Rod that it bounces off of when cycling a round with a plastic coat hangercut to fit and it has worked for 20+ years and a dozen or so bricks taking care of the jackrabbits S.E. Idaho gets when the snow drives them out of the mountains and they try to and will take over the desert valley.

I bought a used Sporter model (wood stock with no barrel band) in the early 90s. It had what I called a "lawyer trigger"; long gritty pull that must have been ten pounds and had a spongy let-off. 'Not sure how that thing got out of the factory like that, but a Kidd trigger transformed it into a satisfying tack driver with what seems like a 2 1/2 pound pull.

first thing to do with a brand new 1022.... take it out of the box an enjoy... they NEED nothing to be a great rifle

I am sure that those upgrades are great, but except for the scope on my stainless 1022, the two others are keeping them "stock".

My upgrades were Volquartsen action, Volquartsen trigger assembly, Volquartsen barrel, and fancy stock (can’t remember the manufacturer). While it’s none of the upgrades you’re recommending, it can put 5 Eley Club rounds in the same hole at 50 yards.

Some good upgrades could be - Pike Arms red bolt Buffer - Volquartsen Auto Bolt Release - Extended magazine release - Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock - Tactical Solutions X-Ring barrel - Tactical Solutions X-ring VR receiver - Better recoil spring system - Tandemkross Twister Takedown pin - Leupold 2.5x20 or 4x28 optic - Aero precision optic mount ( Lightweight) Optional - New iron sights - New Trigger and trigger guard - Samson FH - Barrel mount for a flashlight or bipod - Tandemkross dual magazine and pouch ( more for competition) - Spartan Bipod and adapter. ( Real lightweight)

The 10/22 is fine as it is. Stock pile ammo!!

The pins... hell yeah on those. The rail & southpaw side charging handle... hell yeah. I'm a southpaw shooter and prefer to use my left hand for charging. The bolt & extended charging handle... hell yeah on the bolt, but I'd have no need for extending the charging handle. The trigger group and extended mag & bolt releases. Hell yeah on the trigger, but I'd pass on the two releases. They look like it would be too easy to accidentally release the magazine. Okay, maybe I'd do the bolt release. One device I'm strongly considering trying is an adjustable muzzle weight to help tune the barrel to the ammo I'd be using.

Upgrade: BX trigger, aftermarket barrel: Tac Sol Barrel, Kidd, Volquartsen, and Magpul Hunter X stock. That is all you need.

Cool video, but just curious as to why there's not a list provided of the parts you upgraded or changed out on the 10/22. Please share when you can. Thank you.

I would have left the factor charging handle as i would be using the charging handle on the left side anyway.

It's nice you're marketing the pins, but changing my bolt stop pin from metal to nylon is the upgrade people should be going for. Just buy cheap quarter-inch nylon bolts and cut them down to size. Keep a few of them and if they break or get lost it's no big deal. Recoil reduction is great but the noise reduction is the real winner: the bolt clicks instead of clacks. It also prevents the holes from getting bored-out by a metal pin that keeps getting slammed by the bolt. Nylon will break before it deforms the holes in the frame (unlike metal pins, which people complain about for this reason). I've put around 2000 rounds through mine with the nylon pin and never had an issue.

If i was allowed to have 10/22 in Australia id get all of those but would like them in a more discrete colour all the tk products i do have work well and are a great addition to the firearm bar 1

The reg stock or the old butler creek heavy duty folder outside of that a good scope mount n scope its pretty bare bones relaible gun

Upgraded ruger trigger and picatinny mount, video over

Love the vid! I'm Canadian and just curious, are you from the American Midwest? ❤

I very like your upgrades. I waiting Manticore trigger assembly available.

Wow. It performs almost as well as my stock 10/22 that I bought forty-five years ago. Kids and their toys, I guess.

Might want to do a before and after accuracy test. Test with optic before other upgrades. Plan this out BEFORE you hit “record.”

what do all these upgrades cost?

I Always take a barrel band off cause i think it might put force on the barrel, and it soaks up harmonics as they reverberate through it Overthinking? Yes

Would you say this trigger or the timmney trigger is better? Also the magpul back packer looks cool

So, how to make a $300 gun into a $1000 gun? The only thing I'd bother with is the detent pins, that's a good idea but probably cost $75! I built one from an 80% receiver that had a rail cast as a part of the receiver and the only custom part I used was a rear receiver mounting bolt.

Popped a mag release and leupold rail on mine with a riton x3 ard and it’s a laser at 75yds

Thank you for taking time to make this video.👍 QUESTION?.. do they sell those accessories in Black versus that bright red?? or is red the only option?? Thank you for your response

I use a lot of TK parts for the 10/22 and TX-22. If using the standard or BX trigger group on the 10/22 (I suggest BX) then the "guardian auto bolt release" is a must.

The 10/22 is banned in illinois now,its all part of the governors assault wespons ban lol,he wouldn't know an assault weapon from a bb gun.

Very nice !!!

Where can i buy those items including the rifle as a all in 1 purchases

Are you able to ship 10/22 parts to Washington anymore? Our rules changed overnight so I am not sure? Thanks a million!

outstanding

My 10/22 International. Free floated barrel from the mounting bolt to the Muzzle. Added the BX Trigger Group, 2lb Trigger pull, steel bolt stop pin to White Nylon, modified the bolt hold open plate, added a trigger back travel stop to Back of Trigger Guard. On a paper plate, at 100 yards, from the bench, Agulra 40gn RN, a 5 shot 1.25 inch group. Remington 581s 5 shot, 100 yds, Bench, 36gn CCI Mini Mags HP, 1.46 inch group. Aimpoint very top edge of the plate. 3 inch drop for the HP and 5 inch drop for the RN.

I can't do any of these Ruger 10/22 changes because if I do Upgrayedd is gonna kill me!

Went to my brother-in-law's place in Deering on Independence Day to squeeze off a few rounds. Drove by the shop in Weare. Live Free Or Die.

Unpopular opinion... but why get the "best" 22 and then go replace everything besides the receiver? I have shot 80's 10/22 that were never handled with white gloves. Maybe cleaned once every 1000 rounds, no fancy parts still runs like a sewing machine. Just saying if it isn't broken don't "fix" it.

Nice, thanks.

Hi friends, this may be a dumb question, but I am looking to build a sweet 10/22. Something akin to the one in the video. With so many Ruger 10/22s out there, which one do you recommend as a starting point?

Binary trigger should be on this list.

my savage bolt gun runs rings around my three 10/22s

Do they make any of these that don't make it look like a toy?

Is that manticore trigger box California compliant. Or would I have to order it through a ffl dealer

I gust got a 22 it’s my first gun I ever had they are cool

I started modding my 10/22s back in the '90's. To everyone who says "my stock 10/22 from 1968 shoots just as good". No. No it doesn't. This is what you tell yourself... but it's a big honkin' LIE. I have seen stock 10/22 trigger pulls exceed 8 lbs. Most come in around the 5lb. mark. 2-3 lbs. is better. Can't argue that fact. And the trigger feel of a Volquartsen setup is DEVINE. You die-hards can keep that chunky stock trigger. I couldn't care less. You do you. I'll be driving tacks. For the record... that left handed charging handle/optics base looks like trash. The only need would be tactical and that's what ARs are for. The open spring and guide rod are kinda exposed to dirt and water. I have never handled one do to the gimmick aspect... but the linkage can't be an improvement to feel. Do your trigger first and then the barrel and stock. Leave the spaceman gimmicks to the kids. Mounting the scope to the receiver is a newbie mistake. Get the Volquartsen barrel mount and a Volquartsen barrel. Or have the barrel of your choice tapped for that Volquartsen mount. I have done it both ways. A stock 10/22 feels primitive. Mine feel like the fine well sorted weapons they are.

I like my 10/22 now that I fixed the several issues with it. The main couple of issues prevented the rifle to hit the broad side if a barn from the inside! The first issue I found was that the synthetic stock was warped are pressing on the barrel throwing windage off so far my scope only had enough range to correct for about half of the error at 25 yards!!! To fix this I shaved down the saddle area of the stock free floated the barrel. I also bedded the stock. But this did not correct the elevation error. Again, it was so bad I was shooting decent groups at 25 yards but ran out of scope range and was still about 5 inches low. That turned out to be the top of the upper receiver had a hump cast into the front under the mounting rail. I then re-centered the optic and and sanded down the hump until the elevation was essentially centered at 50 yards. This kinda grouped the rifle but I wasn’t getting the consistency I should. Turns out it was the ammo. Winchester was simply bad. Federal a killer better. CC 40 grain mini mag Varmint is the deal. The rifle now shoots the way I want it to. But now I have several thousand Winchester and Federal bulk boxes I need to find a use for. I really don’t like no having s pull to release bolt. I fixed that. And I don’t like not have a last round hold open. I haven’t dealt with that yet. My particular rifle was completely unusable junk out of the box new. BTW, it came with the scope I was using mounted from the factory. Some of you would have figured all of these issues out. Most would not. It is hard to believe that this is the same company that made my Ruger American. I spent many years away from .22. Has anybody else noticed how bad .22 ammo is that isn’t CCI?

Great stuff. No need for the guitar bed.

What optic was that. And any recommendations on any decent red dot

Would be nice if you gave a rough estimate of the total cost of these upgrades.

Excellent per Usual

You should do more videos on other modifications

I wonder if I could fit all that in a trek 22 stock

How about those mags you used. Link please.

Personally, dropping what comes out to about 617$ before S/H and tax on a gun that I spent 400$ on just isn't my kind of move. But if you have the capital and you really want that level of performance, go for it, ain't gonna knock it.

Awesome video! Off topic but what was the song playing at the intro?

great , what kind of scoope is that i need one for my 10/22 ruger can you supply that thank's

I have one of the very first 10/22’s, it has a factory blade front sight, is it possible to get the sight taken down and thread it for a suppressor? Or should I just buy a new barrel that is already threaded? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, thank you, JHK

Excellent product review

Is that left side charging handle non-reciprocating?

i have had my 10/22 since about 1990. Its got the pic rail on top. That it for me.

The only upgrade the 10/22 needs is a better extractor in my mind. After probably in the realm of 30k things that was the only thing that was truly worn and causing problems.

Need a name for that multicolored wood stock. Beautiful as hell

🔥🔥🔥

What magazine are you using in the video?

Funny! Mine is flawless factory stock! To each his own!

Even though I have been retired for a few years, if I can't hit the target with the original sights that came on my 10/22, I don't have any business shooting it. If I am going to change the trigger, a Franklin Armory Binary Trigger is going in it. I have one or two 50 round drums and a 110 round drum from Germany. Be safe my friends.

Have the BX 10 green springs, been waiting on the 10/22 Krosspins all winter.

You missed the 1st upgrade which makes the gun shoot smoother, quieter and more accurately (according 4-5 vloggers and writers). And the company you're peddling, Tandemkross sells them. Polymer bolt buffers. Might want to read; Customize the Ruger 10/22 Paperback - July 20, 2006 by James E. House. It's a classic

First buy the Brownells BRN-22 Reciver and build the 10/22 from the ground up.

I've got the 1022 take down... I'm not changing anything!

Can the rail and charging handle work with an extended one already installed on the side its on normally?

The next one, thread the barrel :D

Edw5208 is spot on...nothing wrong with it "as purchased!"

As much as id lobe to do all this to my arch angel rugger 10/22 set up, damn that shit is expensive! Would be so happy to have it all tho...

This is alot of money to be putting into a cheap 22

Charge the rifle while keeping your finger on the trigger?? Also you have to remove the rotary safety handles before you can remove the barreled action from stock. Fine if you're at home on a table, but not so good if you're in the field.

What’s the magazine that you were using?

I learned a ton about available mods in the video. I learned a ton about boomers in the comments. Both were entertaining. Thumbs up and thanks!

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼

Neat shit!

every one of these I've shot jams due to feeding issues

You had me going with the rail, but you would be better off buying a higher end rifle than doing all this gunsmith work with expensive parts. I have the 10/22 Tactical with a scope and love it.

All 1022s come with a rail. Atleast the ones ive bought did

I believe he could benefit from a carbon fiber bipod, a titanium muzzle brake, and a foregrip with a ceramic coating. I found the video extremly entertaining, just like my comment.
