Why not buy a good .22 to start with?

I have a stainless one laying around somewhere, and I would probably just give it to any THR member that wanted it. I love 10/22's, and I have a bone stock one that I have owned for probably 30 years now, but I wanted to build a custom.

What kind of fun would that be?

Yeah! What "good" .22 allows such easy part swapping and home customization? Try it, its a blast.

I donated mine to a friend that has an old 70s 10/22 that needed refreshing. New stock and barrel worked out for him!
