Silver & Gold 10/22 build

[Wham-O]

I finished this in August but have been busy with life in general lately, so I thought I'd post it now while the dust was settling. I took it out last weekend and test fired 200 rounds through it and not a single hick-up.
The pictures really don't do it justice....

Thanks....the stock was purchased that way from CGN member Bulls-Eye. (I just honed out the barrel channel so it would accept a heavy barrel)
Maybe he can chime in here and let you know?

I actually purchased it from a fellow on Rimfire Central. There is no way I could do handy work like that!

Very nice. Nice to see a custom 10 22 with a wood stock, far too much plastic these days

That is just awesome . There is so much sweet in that gun from the barrel , to the bolt and the stock in wood is so classy .

Man, that baby shines! Nice clean build you got there. Is the pattern on the bolt face milled into an original bolt?
