Rock Island Armoury 10/22 barrelled action?

[Thunderhog]

If a drop a marshmallow trigger housing on the floor with this test machine it does not break.
If a drop an aluminum trigger housing on the floor with this test machine it does break.

Conclusion, a marshmallow trigger housing is STRONGER than an aluminum one.

Did you see the test video ? Its saturated with BS. Only reason they changed it is to save money. Not because its better.

I agree 100%, I have seen that Ruger video as well. The aluminum trigger housings are built better than the plastic ones they use today.

Again...what are you doing that causes them to break? How many broken trigger guards on ANYTHING have you personally seen?

[carpetmonkey]

Does a metal trigger guard REALLY matter?

Where it matters to me has nothing to do with durability. I sometimes want the metal trigger group so I can glass bead the paint/finish off it so it will match a factory "stainless" action,
or better yet an aftermarket silver receiver and barrel.

When did the ruger 10/22 go to crap? my dad and I both have ones from the early 90's and mine has probably seen 20-30 thousand rounds of all types of ammo and only a couple of rounds that didn't feed properly. I never realized qc had dropped on them.

I have a brand new 10/22 that hate a full box of 500 Thunderbolt without any problem. Was quite accurate too...

They are hit or miss it seems.

The RIA I bought last year was hitting pop cans at 25 yards without any adjustment to the iron sights. Not sure if that is good enough or not as I don't do precision shooting and it was all I had to work with at the time. No ftf or eject using winchester 333 in a 25 rnd butler creek mag. Went through most of that box (there were a couple of us reloading from it) without issues.

I made the mistake of buying an ATI stock for it though. It will not fit a RIA without permanent modifications as there are some differences related to the sights.
So I sold it and bought a ruger. It hasn't given me any issues either.

It also wouldn't accept a 10/22 scope rail with modifying the rail. The RIA has different thread screws.

Do you happen to know the type of screws that work to mount a rail on a RIA 10/22?

I assume you meant "without modifying" were you able to make the rail work?

[hical.ca]

The screw threads are slightly larger on the RIA, you can use a ruger rail, just use the RIA screws that come with it.

Can RIAs drop into the Archangel kits?

Can RIAs drop into the Archangel kits?

Yes they can!
