Ruger 10/22 upgrades

the auto bolt release will cost you nothing at all, if its done correctly. all it requires from you is a bit of elbow grease if you use a file, like I did, or a rotary tool like some other members have used. myself, I have a problem seeing the point in spending more on one item than was paid for the gun in the first place. I did not buy a whole trigger kit to begin with all I did was a good clean up, squaring and polish of all the gliding surfaces in the trigger group. theres a number of videos on youtube that show how to do this in minute detail and the difference is really apparent. also, the tips and tricks thread at the top of the rimfire forum here is just chock-full of some good ideas or places to start that don't require you to spend large amounts of money. start with the auto bolt release and the trigger group refinement which you can do for zero dollars, then continue on and look into some parts upgrades. by far the most effective for your money will probably be the barrel which can be done for a very reasonable price and some others have spoken of Dlask in vancouver who do excellent work and make the 10/22 barrels they sell themselves. check'em out!
 
Hey, I am looking to do some upgrades as well ad was wondering if ther is anything that is good with the maurader stock specifically?
 
Don't know if it ok to mention another website, but I would go to rimfirecentral.com. What those guys don't know about modding out a 10/22 is not worth knowing. There are endless threads on personally modding the trigger assembly, bedding, reworking the bolt etc etc. That could save you alot of money right there. Also every aftermarket manufacturer is talked about and evaluated. Dlask gets good mention by the way !

I think it would be worth checking out. My two cents do the Trigger stuff first, the hammer, sear, shims etc. Then the bolt. It is all there as sticky's on RimfireCentral, and is pretty straight forward. Good Luck !

But I don't know how to do any of this. Can I get a gunsmith to do it?
