Fun 10/22 project

[DsrtRat]

I bore easily with store bought/conventional stuff. Years ago I built an MP5 Navy wannabe chassis for my 10/22. It was kinda cool and shot well. But, recently I started to see the limitations as a squirrel gun because the scope centre was over 3" above the bore. The drop at different distances was greater than the size of a squirrels head. SO I wanted to build a compact, yet fun squirrel killer with low mounted scope. After some thought, I stole some parts from the MP5 and started a build. This is a stock 10/22 with wooden stock that I cut off and attached a custom built (on my mill) aluminum tail stock. The paint on the stock is rattlecan flat Rustoleum. The decals were made on my vinyl plotter. I also 3d printed a small mag extension that is currently being finished. Anyhow, I went from this:

Nothing crazy just a fun week long project.

Reminds me of Chiappa M1 MBR

That's one of the best DIY paint jobs I've seen.

Rattlecans and a vinyl printer to make the Kryptek like design. I was pleased with the results. In fact, I might do the scope next since it’s an old klunker that was laying around.

Looks Pretty Good, Nice work.

How's the positioning of your cheek on those rails?

It’s actually pretty decent for that low mounted scope. I moved the scope ahead as the stock is a bit shorter now. I will likely add a very think cheek piece as the steel is a bit cold at times.
