my new toy

[DRob]

No WMR

Is this barrel a straight 22LR or does it take the WRM (sp) ammo?

Ruger stopped making the 10/22 magnum several years ago. They only chamber them in .22lr now. None of them were ever capable of shooting both .22lr and .22WMR.

No sweat LFD102. Everybody was new once. There are a zillion variations of the 10/22 which can all be modified a zillion different ways. If it is in fact the Lipsey's K10/22-22, it's a fairly unique rifle. Some of those "Distributor Exclusives" are hard to find.

Everything you need for a 10/22, and some pretty nice looking stocks as well.

if it is unique then is it one I may not want to make changes to and keep as it is and look for another one to build up? would hate to have something that may be of value some day and mess it up. but I do plan on using it

What ever you do, don't paint that stock. You can always get a composite stock to play with. I had a 10/22 with see thru rings and just could never get it to fit right so I took them off and bought regular rings. I ended up taking off the little sight blade just like you did and it worked perfect.

Nice looking-- keep the original parts and buy cool replacement parts--Your toy might not be the choice of the next buyers IF you every wanna sell it

id put taller scope rings on myself, thats a sweet shooting 22 for the money happy shooting

for now I think I'll keep the stock and see how I like after I get to shoot a few rounds. I ordered a few things for it today. I'll post some pick once I get them put on it.

Congrats on the Ruger! I just convinced my friend to get the same gun, almost the same set up. I think he's been out almost everyday!

If you want a new stock, get something like this:

Rifle Stocks and other Gunstocks for AK, AR, SKS and more - Advanced Technology International USA

I just got Millett scope rings for my ruger, ran into the same issue about the rear sight. Go for taller set and you'll be happy.

I ordered a 1/2 spacer for the scope mounts which should fix the problem
