The Websters Definition of tactical:

2 a : of or relating to tactics: as (1) : of or relating to small-scale actions serving a larger purpose (2) : made or carried out with only a limited or immediate end in view b : adroit in planning or maneuvering to accomplish a purpose

I would think the only ***tactical application of a 10/22 would be crowd control, a good travel gun if you had to run as it is light as is the ammo, maybe hunting small game. So a giant, heavy and bulky 10/22 designed to look like an AR type of weapon but with none of the power seems sort of the opposite of tactical...however it is tacticool and I do enjoy looking at them, and loved the one I built...and sadly sold :(

So this got me thinking, a truly tactical 10/22 would be as light as possible, but durable and accomplishes this without losing accuracy. This I think would come mostly from being able to hold and fire it comfortably, as even if it was just a barrel and trigger I don't think the "kick back" would be enough to effect accuracy.

Anyone have a picture of a 10/22 they built with this in mind? I am thinking of making this my next project :)

***This is another just for fun project. I do not anticipate requiring a weapon for any of the above reasons and am fully aware of the unlikelyhood of any of the above scenarios. It is just fun to have a goal and then build towards it.

Go Wolverines! Just kidding :)

The only people to ever field the 10/22 was the Israeli army. They integrally suppressed it and it was supposed to be used for non-lethal crowd control. However they quickly bumped it to lethal and then removed it from service...
 
These are the only tactical applications of a 10/22 that I've ever seen evidence of. Everything else is just a target, plinker or hunting rifle, no matter how you dress it up.

My contribution for consideration:

While I do still own this rifle, it is no longer in this configuration - but when it was, I found it to be quite compact, accurate and very reliable.

Sadly, a folding stock, which would have made for a very compact set-up, would have reduced its overall length to less than 660mm. :(
 
Wham-O and mmatt... where did you guys get the Tactical Innovations mag??? I've been trying to find them here but have had no luck and nobody will export them from the US because Tactical Inc. isn't registered with the DDTC.
 
I got mine out of the US from straight from Tactical Inc about a year ago when they would still ship them to Canada. Sadly, I believe this is no longer the case. :( I hope you find some though because they are simply the best. :)
 
Yep, found 'em at tufferbuffer.com. Ordered 2 this morning. Tactical Inc. won't ship them and either will a place like Brownells because TI hasn't registered with the DDTC (US State Dept. Directorate of Defense Trade Controls) as an exporter. I'm REAL happy that I'll finally get my hands on a couple. Thanks for the help anyways!
