ruger 10/22
i'm in the middle of 'modifying' my 10/22. i'm having a great deal of fun and pleasure in this project.

so far:

cleaned, sanded and bedded stock (the standard walnut stock) as it was damaged when i received the rifle.

bored a breech cleaning access hole in the rear of the receiver.

extended the magazine release latch

shortened and recrowned the barrel (it was damaged when i received the rifle)

next:

install volquartsen hammer, polish trigger sear and refinish the barrel & receiver by painting with brownells gun-kote.

it is taking some time and effort but hey...lotsa enjoyment...
