I an a new gun owner and wanted to trick out my Ruger 10/22. I am looking for a bull barrel 18 inches long maybe 20 inches. Would I have to change the stock?? I currently have the synthetic stock. I am looking for the Ruger BX25 magazines as well. Can I buy all that I need in Canada?? How much will all this cost me?? I want to thank you for taking the time to answer this post. I am glad gunnnutz are here for guys like me.

I have a beautiful new CZ 75 SP 01 Canadian Model (smiling cheek to cheek). I put 150 rounds through it today and it is a great gun. The kit comes with 2 additional recoil springs (11 and 13 lbs) I believe. 2 addition main springs (13 and 16 lbs) and 1 firing pin spring.

My question is which of these springs would I match with one another to reduce the trigger weight as much as I can while shooting factory loads? I assume matching the spring with one another is important for both performance and not damaging the gun. for example, not enough recoil tension and the slide "hammering" too hard (moving too fast).

I will be putting at least a few hundred more rounds through it in the next week or so to break it in before I change anything but I am trying to educate myself now and start planning for the near future.

This is the first new pistol I have ever bought so I figured about 1000 rounds for a good break in period. Any opinions on this?

Thx for any help

Just a word of advice from someone who recently went down that road, tricking out and accurizing a 10/22 is an expensive endeavor. The platform was not designed for accuracy. Sure you can learn a lot and have some fun in the process, I know I sure did, just be prepared to drop $600-$1000 if your determined to turn your Ruger into a tack driver. I learned the hard way that the money would have been better spent on a bolt action 22, a decent scope and a couple bricks of ammo.

Can't get BX25 mags in Canada... Just the Butler Creek 25's and they are hit and miss on whether they mis-feed or not.
