Aren't we all in the same boat? 
I think I might have to sell my tacticool 10/22 to fund another project. It sucks wanting things and not having enough money.
UGH, I've done that before and wished I hadn't... I end up buying a replacement later down the road...
What have you done to "tacticool" your 10/22? What rifle are you looking at picking up???

give ya 200 bucks for your tacticool .22 as long as it comes with all the trimmings.

Keep the .22, save for a bit, work a little overtime, stop smoking (if you do) buy one less case of beer a month (it hurts but it helps), stop going through Timmy's drive through... it all adds up. That's how I funded by last rifle. 6 months later and it was in the safe.
Think about the Timmy's seriously though. At least $2 bucks for a cup of joe... times say 10 times a month... and that's only if you get a coffee plus a donut or whatever and that can be 5 bucks a day now we're at 50 dollars a month.. times 6 months.. that's 300 bones and a new rifle in some cases.
Rant off.
Good luck with whatever you do and be sure to post updates.

Some guns I have sold off are just a fond memory. Others have left a void that begged and nagged and grated until I finally ran out and bought another. I have done this a few times with 10/22s thinking that I had done it all and that there would be nothing to gain from further tinkering. Well.... I was wrong. The 10/22 has too many incarnations to let it slip out of your life. Always keep at least one. You can always shuffle parts around to change it if the mood strikes you and when that crazy new part or conversion kit come along you can spring for it.
The can be a bit of a small money hole, but I think that it is more than offset by the cost of your standard .22lr ammo.
I fond that there is nothing so captivating or modification hungry than in the centre fire market. Maybe the M14, but you are going to be shelling out more than tripple the money to get the same results there.
I would advise that if you are really happy with the 10/22, to keep it. You will likely miss it and what you get to replace it may not give you the same happiness the 10/22 did, and even if it does, it will probably cost you more.

Never sell a gun to fund another project.
Never sell a gun for any reason except to pay for my cancer therapy (just kidding).
You will always regret it. I have done it four times and every time I regretted it and I'm never going to do it again. Its just not worth the heart ache. Just keep saving , planning and planning some more. Sell something else, but don't sell a gun.
BTW, I have an R22 in great shape that I want to sell to fund a new 45-70 Springfield Trapdoor.
