I finally finished my 10/22!

It has the usual VQ stuff, a TacSol Hogue tan stock, brown barrel and matching brown picatinny scope mount. I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can go try it out.

Nice looking gun , but your best accuracy is going to be found by mounting the scope as low as possible to the axis of the bore. Why start off on the wrong foot by building in an inherent disability ?
Scope mounts should be as low as possible to enable the eye to align perfectly down the scope tube with the cheekbone resting on the comb of the stock. Test this by shouldering the rifle with eyes closed. When you open your sighting eye, you should see the crosshairs without any adjustment to either the rifle or your head position.
You may get away with it off the bench, but you will never be consistently accurate in the field if you have to crane your neck to get a sight picture

You need a 1 piece 10/22 scope mount bad
That and some duracoat to match up some colours.

I see it for what it can be with a little more work,and it's beautiful

First off, nice build! :)

I'm sure the other folks here think it's nice, too. And I think that they're just trying to guide you into making what is obviously a nice build into a an even better one.


Personally, I think that you may have been going for the raised "see-thru" scope mounts; let us know if that was your "aim"/intention? ;)
 
Thanks for the tips guys, the mounts are el-cheapo chinese ones that came with my scope. I will get some proper ones ASAP.

What do you guys think of these? w ww.tacticalsol.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=714

I'll build up the courage for Krylon one of these days. I've been trying to get matching anodized parts.

Painting my shotgun reciever

im painting my shotgun reciever a matte black finish, which paint or coating should i be using? sound slike you know what your doing?
 
PS, if you want a very durable long term coating then the baked on paints are best. Duracoat, Alumhyde, are just a couple of products. PM me and I can give you someone that does this stuff.

Personally, I like a matte finish in 'working' toys. I sandblast the surface then use matte black spray paint. Laquer or enamel is just fine. The last can I got from Wallyland cost a little over $2 and would do several rifles.

Is it durable? Nope! Does it look good? Yep!

Overtime, the paint will wear. One minute with a sandblaster and I can repaint as good as new. Most of my toys easily survive a summer of use with no real wear.

The baked on finishes also wear and when they look grubby, you also need to sandblast them. Some pretty agressively.

I prefer to do it myself and pocket the coin.

PS there are now more durable epoxy based spray cans. Some are pretty durable for a spray paint.
