Money is tight right now so I couldn't afford a black rifle or precision rifle build, however as Don Corleone said
"A man cannot be a real man unless he spends time tinkering with his guns"
It started out as a plain Ruger 10/22 with the cheap composite (plastic) stock, basically the cheapest model they make.
Added a Dlask 12.5" bull barrel....
with their modified Levang compensator.
Modified the factory plastic/composite stock for the bull barrel. Incorporated the cheap NC Star "Universal Weaver Style Quad-Rail Barrel Mount " to the fore end with some TIG welding and grinding. Used some bondo to give a raised cheekpeice for use with a scope. Picatinny mount is too far forward for a comfortable vertical fore grip but it is perfect for my Surefire which will be great for a late night rendezvous with raccoons in the henhouse.
Arma-Coated the metal parts after bead blasting them. All except the scope,(Simmons 4X) it is what I had laying around in my box of gun stuff. Hope to score an optic bargain on the EE before spring. I can tell just in the mounting that the Arma-Coat did not adhere to the smooth scope body but media blasted parts look great.
Painted stock with a textured dark brown from a rattle can, they laid over the stock with a mesh (from the dollar store) and tried to use up the left over Arma-Coat. Very simple design but looks cool.
Just waiting on some parts from Rimfire Sports, target hammer and a couple other goodies.
So far I have spent $500-600 total.
Now I just need to get out and shoot it.
