Marauder kit review, new mags are in stock now.

[Bonjour43ma]

Is the feed control spring part of the feed lip set? I have one of the Gen 1 mags with the older design as seen here:

 

[hical.ca]

Yes it is.

Never having had mine apart...would the innards from a SR-22 drop into a Marauder kit? Or do they have any different pieces compared to a regular 10/22 carbine?

Might be an option to selling the SR22 and getting another carbine to use with the Marauder stock.

It seems you can buy a 10 22 carbine and the marauder stock for less money than the sr22. Not sure about taking off the sr22 chassis, but it also should work

Yes the internals will work, they are just standard 10/22 in a Nordic kit.

 

[Farmer Harv]

Good stuff. Marauder order placed, SR-22 for sale ad removed.

 

[Major Sights]

Would the barrel and innards of a sr-22 not make it a restricted rifle then? With the folded stock overall length? Or am I missing a another awesome loophole?

 

[Farmer Harv]

Nope, no loophole I'm afraid. I'll have to pin the stock in the open position forever.

 

[hical.ca]

We have brand new 18.5" Ruger barrels for $34 if you want one shipped also......No pinning needed!

 

[Farmer Harv]

I thought of using a stock barrel (I have one left over from a 17HM2 build), but figure if the pin annoys me and I really feel the need to fold her up I might get the SR barrel threaded and attach a flash hider of enough length.

Seems like a lot of work though, and would only be worth it if the SR barrel had enough inherent accuracy to make it worthwhile.

A bit off topic, but here's my SR22 with the Promag attached:

A closeup of the Dremel work needed to make it fit:

I cannot comment on reliability as I have not shot it yet.

Wait you can do that?

 

[Farmer Harv]

Yes. Errrr...do what exactly?

 

[Major Sights]

Use a SR-22 barrel and add a threaded tip and an appropriate sized muzzle break/flash hider to meet the over all length? and still be non-restricted?

 

[AB.boy]

A flashider or muzzle beak doesn't count when talking barrel length. Must be the rifled portion of the barrel.

 

[unicorn gravedigger]

Nice first post Drone! Good thinking.

I realize that, but I'm talking about OAL. Does adding the flash hider count in that measurement?

Here is another pic of the mod.

Ah, sorry...totally missed what you were asking before (long day). Yes, flash hiders count for OAL, though I'm not sure just how "permanently" they must be attached. Need to read up on that today.

Good point. Sorry I was thinking barrel length. I'm with Harv...shouldn't post late after a long day in the salt mine .
