inspired by another users build in the 10/22 picture forum, i am looking to build a quality, non-restricted (ie. ideally max 26.5" OAL), 22lr, ar15 looking rifle. before you ask, i have not set a budget, but also do not want to spend $2,000 on it.
i want it to be quality enough to pretend that it could be used for self defense purposes ("including jumping from my hummer and VIP protection detail in iraq" - funny line from another thread), but mostly used for plinking with cheap(ish) ammo and "looking cool".
i do not pretend to know much, if anything, about these firearms, so i am deferring to you guys for pictures, suggestions, and experiences!
thx CNGers
(edit)
the inspired build included:
10/22
ACE, ARFX-E Skeleton Stock
DPMS buttstock extender
Hogue grip
Nordic chassis
YHM handguard
Troy muzzle break
Dlask 10.5 custom barrel
