HAHA! I feel for you, I was in the same boat last night when I picked mine up and then quickly disappeared to the garage to play.

It took me a lot longer to put my kit togther then I was expecting. Mostly because removing my original factory sights became a huge chore (which ended up including a hack saw, a dremel and a lot of four letter words):HR:. I would recommend anyone getting this kit to pull apart your rifle ahead of time in case you run in to the same difficulty's I did with the sights.

I love the feel of the kit and looks but I am also having the same issues with the magazine that was previously mentioned. With the cover on, it is difficult to get it to seat properly.
The other issue I ran into, that I have not corrected yet, is two of the holes that are used to secure the top piece to the reciever are not drilled out. By the time I got around to actually installing the kit together I was way to tired and frusterated to bother trying to correct it. I will have to pull it apart on the weekend and see if there is an easy fix.

Other then those two issues the kit rocks and was well worth the wait. I can't wait to get out and put a few hundred rounds through it.

Mine also did not have the two rear reciever "rail" mounting holes drilled all the way through.
Just measured the depth of the other two and marked a drill bit for the proper depth. The rail screws ended up just right, but check and make sure you don't have any screw sticking through into the reciever after.
 
Order the kit, and when you go to the post office to pick it up, stop at the spca and bring her a puppy.

She'll forget all about it ahah
 
Oh she is pissed, I tried to put it together last night and ended up getting yelled at about paying more attention to guns than I ever pay to her. Seriously though how is that even possible, I get maybe maybe a few hours a week with my guns, try tellin her that though..... Long story short it's in pieces in my basement, or should I say was when I left this morning........:(

Does sleeping in the same bed count as spending time together? :rockOn:
 
I wish I had the balls to buy the kit..problem is, I just bought a house. I know my fiance will remove my testicles if I came home from the post office with the kit...a puppy wouldn't save me.

There's a great youtube video online that reviews the kit. A must see to satisfy the temptations.

I'm on a second (pre)order list any chance I can get bumped so I can get mine now? :p

Sure, if you got on the list early enough.....We supplied a lot of the second list people already, but we are running through the last of the orders now, Some more second list people will still get a call mon, Then it 6-8 weeks & everyone else get theirs, as long as you are on the preorder list!!
 
have anyone notice that the Mag doesnt want to stay in the receiver?? my mag just pops out if i give the gun a shake.
 
I got my kit today! HiCal, you're the best!

Here's an album of photos of the entire thing assembled :D

PS. From a "gunsmithing" point of view, I thought it was very easy to take apart the kit, the 10/22, perform the modifications for the 10/22 and finally, put it together.

PPS. I also have that weird spring/thingie on top of the magazine. :confused:

PPPS. (re: PPS) It's a feature of the magazine, designed to control the feeding process when your 10/22 inserts the cartridge into the barrel! Here's a video that explains it (in part): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnGHiwRn2iQ
 
i definitely have a feed issue with my mag....with the factory 10 rnd or butler creek mag..it would feed no problem....but with the supplied mag...it wont feed at all.
 
i figure it out....with that little spring on the feed lip...it would not let the round get enough upward angle to enter the chamber. Now with that spring gone, it feeds!



edited: went to the range today. Had a whole bunch of people gather around me! The AA921 mag will not feed. It looks like it does not have enough upward angle on the feed lip to guide the round into the chamber. It would hit just below the chamber. With the springs out, it definitely is a little better allow the round to get more angle but still won't feed. I have fiddle around with it for more than 3 hrs now,if anyone in the lower mainland have a mag that works, i want to meet up with you and try yours!

I burst out laughing at your posts and my wife asked me what was so funny, so I told her, now she's pissed too and I didn't even do anything! :eek::D

There is one important thing you will learn over the years, Happy Wife = Happy life. It only took a few wives and a couple of gargabe bags full of money to figure it out.
 
Luckluc82, does your mag function?
To all sellers, can the mag be returned to the makers if its faulty? and get it exchanged or fixed?? In another forum the guy(HR218) said his 1st mag didnt work and returned it for another.
