im gonna build a Ruger Charger.
why you may ask?
and im glad you did, im gonna build a Ruger Charger because i purchased one last summer and i dont like it.
i hate the barrel.
a pistol is suppose to have a 4.5 or 6" barrel not this 10 or 12" barrel that the charger comes with.
thats a rifle barrel!!!!
plus im not really liking the 'new charger' stock.
that AR pistol grip stock just dosnt get my mojo going like the old charger stock did.
so i decided im gonna start to pick away at building mine own Ruger Charger.
was chatting with my dad last night down in Calgary and he said he was gonna be ordering a stock or 2 from Boyd's in March(ish) so i told him i wanted to add a Ruger Charger stock onto his order.
so that is step 1 - Boyd Ruger Charger Stock.
i already have 2 or 3 stock ruger trigger groups laying around out in the shop but..... BUT...... im feeling spicy!!!!
im kinda thinking of getting Questar to order me in a Red Tactical Innovation CH22 receiver and red trigger assembly.
that is the rear AR style charging handle on the 10/22 receiver.
last step would be to get a Whistle Pig 6" charger barrel.
anyone know who imports from whistle pig???? Questar??????
or i could just go cheap on this build?
Dlask 8" barrel, Boyd charger stock, stock ruger trigger group and a receiver from somewhere.... Dlask maybe?
i think the pistol would be 10 times better than the current charger.
(yes i would have to register it as a pistol once put together)
anyone have any thought on this?
its not a 'right away build'
im thinking of picking away at it over the next year.
wife is a little raised eyebrow at me right now with all my purchases last couple months, so i figure if i do it this way its just 'parts' and not another new gun.
