This thing is wild!

That's pretty cool. I hate the AR charger system, but to each their own. Cool chassis and cool build.

Thanks!

Why don't you like top charging? It's ambidextrous. I prefer charging with my left hand as a right handed shooter so this works great.

More reaching back to be done, optics can get in the way. Gotta move your head so dont punch your face.

Basically, all that. Nothing beats a competent side charging handle, and the 10/22 provides just that.

I can see that on some rifles.

In this case I'm not going to be putting any huge optics on it. The pull is actually very short being a 22LR so it's no problem.

I actually love it. I can pull with my left hand which I prefer.

What's the final cost?

SWEET ! ! !

Good job, it looks amazing

 

[True Shadows]

What's the final cost?

Around $2400 + tax. Yes, I hate money

I had an itch for something super lightweight and cool.... had to scratch the itch.

Cool build. How does it shoot?

Lol. Cool build, 100% justifiable.

 

[bishop4444]

That looks Awesome! Will you build me one?

Just finished putting it together. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Volquartsen barrels are known to be very good so we'll see!

Just playing around with it in the house it feels absolutely amazing. Almost like a toy it's so light.

The chassis is almost infinitely adjustable. It's very cool. You can move the stock up or down on the chassis, adjust lop, adjust angle and cant of the butt-plate, adjust handguard/grip length. Hell you can even move the grip closer or further from the trigger!

Always hated that when I ran my 22LR kit in my AR. Short stroke, you never really got used to it.

Oh I know when I joined the Army we still pur trigger hand 2 fingers hooking the CH. Then they went with the larger Ambi CH to allow your LH to charge it. But it always hooked on kit.

Def has it advantages.

That's a nice setup you have there!
