With all of those cool aftermarket stocks for the 10/22 (like the Krinker) it would be a shame to buy an entire gun just for the receiver. I know you could sell off all of the other parts here in the ee forum but it just seems to me that someone would start selling the recievers seperately. Does anyone sell them like this?
10/22 Receivers

It would cost you more to buy only the reciever in most case's. You got to shop around, look for bargins. And especially... be patient.
I just bought a minty 10/22 tonight, paid 150$ for it. I actually have to do a little research now, As I believe it might be a special edition or something. This is what is stamped on the Barrel "made in the 200 year of American liberty"... which probably means this rifle was built in 1976, could be something, could be nothing.

the cheapest 10-22 is $249 at the local shop.....the plain hardwood stocks make a nice glow in the fireplace(save the barrel band and the buttpad)...they are a decent hardwood afterall....or buy the synthetic one for the same price....than sell the stock,..these stocks smoke too much and mess up the fireplace
I've given away a couple standard blued barrels.....they aren't worth much.

You won't find a new 10/22 type receiver for anywhere close to just $250.
I sold one of these factory stocks on eBay last year for US$40, you could probably get the same for the barrel.
Consider too that the factory rifle comes with a Cable lock, Magazine, etc...

Thats exactly what that means....'76
All the ruger's that were built in '76 recived this "liberty mark". In most cases, it doesn't add much to the value,it depends on the production #'s. I have a .44 carbine that has the liberty stamp.....worth about 35 bucks more than a non-stamped.

Cereal83, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
But hey, maybe you could build them out of your lego. They'd be super neato, and you'd be a real CGN hero!!! Don't wait, start building them now!!!
Do you know how many hours of labour it takes to prep each one of these receivers?
Do you know what a machinist makes per hour?
Do you know what it costs to buy a CNC machine?
Do you know what it costs to anodize aluminum?
$189 is a perfectly fair price.

Ruger Factory Receivers are cast. The whole purpose of going to a CNC machined receiver is to avoid all the associated slop and play that is common in a regular rough cast receiver. I believe most of the factory trigger group is stamped.

I acually know I don't know what I am talking about. Your just a moron for telling me to build something with lego. Also, if just a reciever is $189, Does the rest of the gun cost like $50.00 because a new 10/22 is only $250 and thats what places like SIR and Wholesale sports sell it for, not what they get it for,

Let me lay it out for you.
1. Factory Ruger receivers are cast. This is a process where molten metal is formed into a negative mould. It is cheap and fast. These receivers are noted for their generally loose tolerances, thus they are not desirable for high precision shooting applications.
2. Aftermarket receivers are usually CNC machined from billet aluminum. This material is more uniform, stronger, and lighter. By machining the receiver, the tolerances are much tighter, minimizing the margin of error in alignment of the trigger group, bolt, and barrel clamp.
3. $189 for reference, is a pittance in the gun world. High performance shooters would not be caught dead with a $200 scope on their rifles. That's why you see in the EE forums 10/22's selling between $200 and $1000+.
When you are looking at the $250 10/22's in catalogs, you are not seeing the aftermarket parts, only cheapy factory parts.
If you are genuinely interested in firearms and shooting, choose your questions more wisely. Dump the ignorant commentary that pervades your posts, and ask pointed, relavent questions. You will get a better quality of answers.
As I have said before,
"Ensure brain is in gear before engaging mouth"

I understand what you are saying now but I didn't know that before. You think I am saying stupid statements or asking dumb questions but I know nothing about this. I have shot a gun once in real life. I have only seen a 10/22 once and it was behind glass, I am not into CNC'ing by any means and I have no idea what so ever about guns so I don't know everything or even close to everything the average person here does. I am at the bottem of the learning pole and when I get reply's to go build crap with lego, it doesn't make me want to say anything here because everytime I do, my head gets ripped off. I only know what they taught me in my PAL course and what reading I have done here. Other then that. I am a gun NOOB!
