Default RE: Tweeking a Ruger 10/22

Outdoorsmen, you had me drooling for a moment. I think I forgot to mention that I want to keep this a low budget project. I'm sure that once I get started I'll keep adding or changing something. I did forget to mention the mag extension and the bolt buffer is a good idea. See I started all ready.

The guy that got me started in this showed me how much an improvement just replacing the hammer can be, it drops the trigger pull from 8lbs down to around 2.5lb.

This guy is really cool, he's one of those guys that you really want to be friends with. He shows up at the shoots with a variety of guns that are either completely modified or in progress and, he lets ya play with everything. He has a couple 10/22s with fluted snake barrels, custom match triggers, polished this, honed that. "You don't like the 3x9x40 scope? Try the red dot instead. You tired of shooting the rifle? Here, try this Mark II I just finished." One weekend I was high scorer with one of his handguns shooting 50yrds standing postion.(Note to self: don't drink coffee before matches)

I think he enjoys showing off his handy work as much as I enjoy shooting them. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
