You need:
1) A plain jane ruger 10/22 reciever.
2) A ruger 10/22 barrel of some sort (factory or aftermarket).
3) The Nordic stock system.
4) An AR-15 butt stock.
5) An AR-15 grip (and screw).
6) An AR-15 free floating forearm (the non-free-floating ones will not work).
However, once you have all that, you have a very kickass 10/22.
The Nordic system is pretty rare in Canada. Only a few of us have them. However, Fabrice from Fabsports.ca (see link above under site sponsors), has his own system called the FS-556, which is very similar. I am currently getting an order placed for one of those setups, which I am going to mate with a shorter barrel (but still unrestricted).

At last, someone had asked a very important question.
Knowing that most 10/22's are prone to barrel droop,
how are the bull barrels (or any barrels) supported?
Even if there's a perfect fit between the barrel and receiver
(theoretically speaking, because a fit like that is hard to do),
if the barrel is not supported in front of the receiver,
then the barrel will put A LOT of stress on the receiver.

500-1000 used in the EE...
cost you alot to build one from scratch, i would know ive built up a couple... hahahah
Yes, it would.
The v-block solution has the darrel-droop "built-in", unfortunatelly.
If (theoretically speaking) the barrel-receiver have the "perfect" fit,
then a 10" free-floated pencil barrel
would not induce much droop (stress in the receiver),
but what accuracy can you expect from this barrel?
Come on, guys, show your groups with 10-12" barrels
(please specify 25 or 50 yds, barrel profile, free floated or not,
trigger, ammo, etc).
I know there is the ocasional rifle that prints tight,
but how many are there and most importantly,
how much effort is to build one of those?

They're actually pretty easy to build, you just bolt everything together... and mine will shoot minute of pop-can out to 50 yards 
When I want to shoot tiny little group, I don't reach for the 10/22, that's when I grab the match rifle

They are accurate if you do your homework.
Out of the box they are nothing to write home about.
But:
When barrel droop is present (like most of the time) and it is not dealt with,
like supporting the barrel (like any factory/aftermarket stock does),
or like pressure points in the barrel-channel in the stock (google: bughole),
or like bedding the first 3" of barrel in front of the receiver, etc.,
then the accuracy goes for shizz.
I know there is the occasional free-floated 10/22 that prints tight groups.
But remember that the 10/22
needs the second hold-down system (at the rear area of the receiver)
in order to hold so much barrel weight in console.

The AR22 and FS556 stock pretty take care of the lack of 'second hold-down' point of the 10/22 receiver, since the action is pretty much clamped in the stock.
10/22's are fun (and popular) because just about anybody can thinker with them... there's a thousands aftermarket parts available for them... and you can spend (or invest) in it gradually.
It's just a question of what you like/enjoy, and how much $ you are willing to trow at the project...
They are a bit like the Honda civic of the gun world... You can easily spend twice the cost of the gun on after market barrel/trigger group/stock... and still not shoot that much better then a basic CZ bolt action rifle... but at least you'll have had fun building it, and your rifle will be different.

I also have a plain 10/22 with the only mod being a 11.5 inch ER shaw barel.I get more fun out of that gun than any other i own.
Both my 10/22 have a red dot on it so other than shooting pop cans at 50 100 yrds i realy dont try printing one hole groups.Maybe with a power scope i could.
The bull barrels tend to be built a little overspec for the 10/22, I know my tactical solutions one is. As a result, the barrel does not droop, and is held very firmly. In addition, the frame holds the reciever very tightly.
Mine shoots such tight groups I can pick off squirrels running on a tree branch, or hit a 4" target at 100 yards every shot.
