CraigC, That's close, but I want the Magpul stock instead. Thanks for the link, though!
The wide body is what allows a flush fitting 10rd rotary magazine. Note how everybody else's five shot protrudes below the receiver?
The .44 carbine was inspired by the M1 Carbine. The 10/22, which came in 1964, was designed to emulate the .44. The PC's were obviously inspired by their predecessors. Neat guns, I wish they'd stuck around.I don't think I knew about those.1961-1974.
yeah... the similarity in looks is there for sure.
I have been stupid enough to buy two of the stupid things....and both did not run for anything without tossing more money at them.....sometimes as simple as an extractor or other nickel or dime part, but they did need something to make them run.....people spend money to make them go....people buy them because of the huge after market support for them....nope I will go to my grave saying this bill ruger pile of junk is one of the worst automatic 22's in the world....but build it cheap enough so people will not mind shelling out another $30 to have a gun that will run a box of ammo and you can sell buckets of them.....
This is basically what I am wanting to do. This is a photoshop mock up I did today. It's a bit rough, but gives you the idea.
I like your concept. But I would think that if you want accuracy with irons (?), I'd extend the sight radius as much as possible given cheek weld and your eyes. If the gun is working well, longer sight radii always tighten groups. If it's a rear peep, you can run as ghost ring if wanting fast acquisition. If wanting max accuracy, install sight disk and go from there ...
I just bought another 10/22 today. 1967 standard. Had to, since I have a 1967 fingergroove- factory checkered
I have had several 10/22's. I built a nice target version several years ago.
Then I realized that, once you understand how the barrel clamps to the receiver, if you leave the barrel floated you run the risk of distorting the receiver if you place too much upward force on the barrel. Not the end of the world but it definitely limits its field usefulness in my opinion.
