I am going to guess 7 or 8?? I was having mag issue that day with a new steel lip butler creek.
just got it today. the Dlask receiver fit nice, the barrel is a tad too short. had to put a brake on it. the ports are just at the end of the stock. oh well.
now to replace the stock internals......
how does she shoot? have you tried it at 100yards. just ordered my tacticool and debating between the 12 or 16 inch dlask. how the the weight compared to a stock 10/22?

They're gone again... for the 10/22 anyway. Must have snagged one of the last ones yesterday. There was only black left at that time so they went quick.
So are they a free-float design or is the barrel supported through to the end?

So I finally got it together. I'll take it out to the range on Sunday, see what it likes to eat and bring back some tests out to 100yds. It all started with issues of running out of scope elevation.
Then some reading on other issues and fixs, then the Boyd's stock came out and then I noticed the Dlask reciever/barrels. I added some Burris signature rings, a Gunsmither V-block replacement to help address the barrel drop. I then bedded the Tacticool stock (I found mine fitting a bit sloppy) and a 20" fluted/threaded Dlask barrel, a Dlask reciever to address potential reciever hump(I don't know what the specific issue was with the running out of scope elevation so I took the scattergun approach to problem solving). Finally and Volquartzen High Accuracy group upgrade to the trigger group and a new ejector and reciever mounting bolt just because.
I've had this rifle for almost 20 years, this is the 3rd barrel and there's been a total of maybe 30 mags through all of them. Hopefully I can give this incarnation the attention it deserves.
getting the parts together...
bedding a 1/4" whatever it is into a space milled by the dremel to help mount the reciever
Here's the hex screw that replaces the flathead screw. Hate those things...
Here's the Gunsmither V-block replacement. I actually had to file back the Dlask reciever a bit because it fit to good and this block need a bit of the barrel to bite into. It might be hard to see in this pic but there is a set screw that goes through the block and against the bottom of the barrel. Theoretically this should help mitigate barrel droop associated with the tensioning of the V-block. As the the tolerances with the Dlask barrel and reciever were so tight its possible that I wouldn't have even needed the Gunsmither block but I might as well use it now that its here...
during the bedding. As an afternote be very carefull. I cemented my tigger group in and had to break the stock to get it back out again
...
add a cheap bipod and the scope back on and its time to clean out the old mans pasture again

I forgot to thank the lads at Dlask for the awesome service when my bolt didn't fit quite right... highly recommended for quality and service. And Canadian to boot!
I zeroed out the scope and put a laser boresighter on it tonight. Over the length of one block (150yds?) it showed about 8" low so its promising. It was about 8 feet low before due to the v-block stresses on the sloppy Ruger stock reciever...
That should be no problem in swapping out some of the Burris Signature rings to make up the difference in elevation and allow the scope to stay in centred in its focal plane.
