M16 style 10/22

[Wrangler251]

Hey I'm new here, so I'm not really sure if this is the best place to put this. I was wondering if it's possible to make an m16 style 10/22, I know the nordic chassis can use ar parts, but is it possible to put an a2 stock and hanguard on it?

There are various fake-AR-15 stocks for the 10/22 around, but if you're starting to get particular about which generation of AR then you're also going to run up against it still being evident that there's a 10/22 hiding inside there.

I had a 10/22 clone with an ar stock on it, but I just really like the look of the a2 stock and hanguard. so I was just wondering, is it possible to fit the a2 buttstock on the nordic chassis?

Not familiar with the Nordic chassis particularly, but there are a number of them out there that have the threaded socket in the back to take an AR buffer tube (no spring required) and AR stock on that, and usually then also take an AR grip just aft of the trigger guard. That gives those chassis makers access to a huge aftermarket of AR parts, and everyone is particular about the human-interface parts because of different length-of-pull and hand shapes and what feels right. I have had a chance to work with the chassis Dlask is presently selling and it's one of that sort.

Ok thanks, I don't currently have a 10/22, I just wanted to know if it was possible to clone the m16 in a 22lr

Anything is possible if you're willing to spend the money. In the end it may not be the look you're going for. The closest stock 10/22 that resembles an AR is the Ruger SR22 rifle.

Didn’t Squires and Birmingham make a look alike ? May have been banned

I used a Troy T22 Chassis for my 10/22 build, looks similar to the SR22.

They aren’t banned but they also don’t fit M16 parts.
I did fit a M4 carry handle to mine with dovetail adapters but it really isn’t anything like a true M4 or M16.
The safety is awkward and up on the tube reciever. And the stock is painted wood. The hand guard is weird and stamped metal.

SR-22 if you can still find one.

100%. For the stock make sure you get mil-spec buffer tube. The Nordic and SR22 chassis are identical save for some branding. The barrel nut may require some heat to remove as ruger uses a bit of loc-tite on it.
