Has anyone used one of these? How did it work out? Would you do it again or use something else?
No they are aluminumAre they steel and if so, what type?
The only finished steel 10/22 receiver I know of is made by VolquartsenAre they steel and if so, what type?
I bought a Tactical Innovations 10/22 receiver that is made of coated stainless steel, in 2019. It is the best 10/22 receiver I have ever seen or found. It is very well made. They are really worth looking into.The only finished steel 10/22 receiver I know of is made by Volquartsen
Yeah unfortunately they appear to be out of stock with no backorder date. Not sure if they're still making them.I bought a Tactical Innovations 10/22 receiver that is made of coated stainless steel, in 2019. It is the best 10/22 receiver I have ever seen or found.

Looked myself after I posed. I didn’t see the steel 10/22 receivers listed. Real shame if they no longer offer them. They are the best I have ever seen and make a great custom build rifle.Yeah unfortunately they appear to be out of stock with no backorder date. Not sure if they're still making them.
They do have a habit of collecting new parts, and sometimes they’ll even multiply when you aren’t looking.As a new 10/22 owner, this thread is making my wallet back away whispering “no”. That Volquartzen steel receiver is sa’weet.
Yeah not sure if you can get to the product listing anymore from their home page. This is it:Looked myself after I posed. I didn’t see the steel 10/22 receivers listed. Real shame if they no longer offer them. They are the best I have ever seen and make a great custom build rifle.

In their ad, they say the price of stainless has gotten so high that when existing stock of the receiver runs out, they will no longer produce them.Looked myself after I posed.

The top is not particularly thin but all aluminum is relatively soft. If you're stripping screws, you're way over-torquing them. I've built a dozen and rebuilt several of them. Never stripped a scope base hole. That said, Nodak did it right when they upgraded to 8-40 screws and a Marlin 336 pattern base.Factory 10/22 receivers are thin soft aluminum.
Seen folks strip a few scope base holes.
Brownells sells a kit to redo em, still using a #6 oversize screw
It is difficult, but it can be done:Yeah not sure if you can get to the product listing anymore from their home page.
According to their specs, the Brownells BRN receivers are machined from 6061 T6.Does anyone make one of the same aluminum used for AR receivers?
Never seen or heard of one.Legit question, has anyone here actually experienced a cracked or broken aluminum 10/22 receiver? Beyond just stripped out threaded holes
