Share Those Customized Plinkers!

Here is my Ruger 10/22. Share your plinker.
I did it all the custom stuff short of making the stock and barrel. However I am making a barrel for my cousin at the moment and depending how it turns out I might make one for myself. I'm not sure who made the stock I bought it used and painted, I spent 2 weeks sanding the paint off it. And yes the muzzle break is mostly for fun. But I did machine the whole thing. I did the work on the bolt and some work to make the trigger a little nicer. It started out as just a regualer 10/22 and this is where it went. Thanks for the compliment. Though I don't know if its done. . .Never Enough Ammo wrote:HOLY MUZZLE BRAKE BATMAN. Otherwise...Oh who am I fooling, that whole thing is a sweet rig,brake and all. Where did you get it at? Bolt work done by Randy? Or Nemohunter?
If the Charger is anywhere as accurate as my 22/45, its got to be a lot of fun. I was plinking a 5"x10" steel plate at 100 yards fairly consistantly with open sites. When I mounted a Holo site on it, where you aimed is where it hit.RobsTV wrote:Fun for lizards at 50 yards. Not really customized, as Ruger was on the ball with these "pistols".
I replaced the Charger with a 22/45 MKII, and sorry to say, the Charger was a little more accurate. But too large for an everyday pistol, so the Charger was not taken with me as often. The 22/45 is tossed into the bag every range day. It was worth giving up a tad bit of accuracy (and giving up a little more fun), for convenience of being able to always have the 22/45 with me.Duo_Z wrote:If the Charger is anywhere as accurate as my 22/45, its got to be a lot of fun.
