Well,
was browsing ebay last night looking for a factory take off stock for my 10/22 (I just sold the bull barrel and matching stock) and was attempting to restore it to factory original.
Well, I wandered upon an MG-42 kit for a 10/22. I have a carbine barrel on my 10/22 right now and asked the question of what barrel length was needed (looks to be a long barreled kit). got a reply this evening that it took a carbine 18" or the 20" barrel. I was like oh no, this will work with my gun
I kept trying to talk myself out of buying and kept saying to myself I really don't need this. I even attempted to do some googling on it and hope to find that it was a POS, but all i found was thread after thread of folks saying how cool it was or how cool it would look.
well before i knew it I was htting the buy it now button and paying for it through paypal before I even could realize that I need this like a hole in the head.
well now I got a MG42 clone kit for my 10/22 on the way.
Here is what it looks like (pics from another identical kit on gunbroker):
will get pics of it on my 10/22 and a range report when I get a chance to hit the range (wife is due with our 2nd kid in the next few weeks so might be awhile before I get to the range). I am sure this is gonna turn a lot of heads when I pull it out of the case next time at the range.

I'm always amazed by what people do with 10/22s.
after the end of the day (i have had to lug a m249 on patrol before and the 10/22 I would have swore that it felt heavier at the end of the day, but i guess dehydration and 12 hours in a blazing AZ sun will do that to ya). So I wanted to turn it back to stock, well now I guess I am as far away from stock as you can get. Oh well at least I have an old marlin mod60 to use on rabbits and other small critters now (man imagine the looks the game warden (buddy of mine) would give me when I pull out my mg42 -10/22 next time we go hunting).
