10/22 Chassis Or Stock With Enclosed Forend?

[AlphaCharlieDelta]

Is this the Jager chassis?

What length and type of barrel is that? And what is the OAL (in the shortest configuration)?

This is pretty much what I am thinking of.

Yep that's the Jager chassis with a 12" acculite barrel with a volquartson comp. I put the volquartson trigger parts in the Ruger trigger housing and it's a 2lb trigger with a short reset. Shoots great, looks good too.
Oh and the tandemkross mag release/bolt release is a must. The mag release works pushing out and pulling in with a big ass paddle. Makes mag changes a breeze.
I use the Ruger 10rnd mag with a mag base extension that I made, and a mag pouch system of my design that secure and robust. The bx25 mags work in the pouches too, but the tuff mags have stainless lips so they won't hold in the pouch well with the magnet system I use in the pouch.

*Note: BX25 magazines must be pinned to limit to 10rnds, but some seem to have very short rivets that somehow allow 25... Crazy, huh?

Crazy indeed......

It seems a lot of chassis are not compatible with aftermarket receivers owing to the longer picatinney rail interfering with the enclosed hand guard.

I REALLY like the Tacsol with left side charging handle but it has the extended pic rail which basically rules out using it with any chassis with an enclosed hand guard.

Hand guards can be modified to accommodate the rail .

I was actually thinking about it the other way around - the rail could be machined back to stock receiver dimensions and then it would work with the enclosed hand guard with no modification.

I haven't actually added optics to gauge if the extra rail at the front is required but if it is that could rule out milling the pic rail shorter (now if there is a pic rail on the hand guard that wouldn't matter)

Does the pic rail on the hand guard line up with the pic rail on the receiver?

Hard to tell from this picture but it looks like they do. If so that is a plus over the Midwest Industries.

How hard is it to strip this thing for a deep clean (ie get the bolt out and clean with a rod from action to muzzle)?

It's basically the 4 screws for the handguard, and the chassis bolt like all 10/22's... Not an AR disassemble but not a gsg16.
The rail is damn close to lining up...

Only other chassis I would go with is the crazy Ivan, so you can use an AR handguard. They do ship to Canada. But they are always sold out, so I went this route

Not a chassis/modern system, but the EABCO M1 carbine stock has an enclosed handguard, or the Ruger has an OEM M1 carbine talos edition.

The upper handguard is retained by 1 screw on he EABCO stock, and the the front barrel band. The Ruger OEM carbine stock has 2 screws, and the front barrel band.
