Thread: My 10/22 build thread

    My 10/22 build thread

    Edited 10-8-10: This thread was originally just about the mag release extension but I've expanded this to be a 10/22 buildup thread. Scroll down to see the new info.

    Not bad considering I don't have a lathe or drill press.



    I ended up using my 18V hand drill as a lathe and using the corner of a file I carved a dimple into the center of a scrap piece of aluminum round stock. Then I clamped a drill bit into a vise and drilled a blind hole into the aluminum and tapped it for a 8-32 set screw. I cut it off at 1/2", threaded the screw into the hole, chucked it up by the screw. Again, using the drill like a lathe, I used a file and a bench grinder to turn down the diameter and apply a radius to the end. Then, after a little sandpaper and polishing the extension was done.

    Ah, sorry, I forgot if you don't have a 10/22 you don't know the shortcomings. The stock mag release isn't exactly the easiest to manipulate. That little button where the new piece is attached is the mag release. With a stock mag release, you push that button with your thumb which theoretically releases the mag into your waiting hand. In actuality, the mag binds because your thumb is pushing against the mag at the same time that you're pushing on the release. So this makes it much easier to push the button and release mags.

    Faster shooting action with added rounds.

    I thought I was going to see some funky way that you extended the actual magazine to hold more rounds. Looks good. I need to build me a 10/22

    Woops, changed the title. I forgot to add "release".

    I've wanted a 10/22 for some time now. Maybe someday. Good job on the mod.

    Nice mod. It sucks trying to get that clip out conventionally when your hands are cold and numb.

    BTW, I'm not building anything...My goal is to spend as little money as possible on my 10/22. So far I've done a trigger job, bolt release mod, small bolt chamfer, and now the mag release, all done myself. Next is to get the stock barrel rechambered by nemohunter on rimfirecentral, and possibly bed and free float. Ok, maybe I'm building a little, but it's going to be a sleeper. So far the only money I have into it is a $50 simmons scope, $10-20 in sling swivels and sling (for appleseed), and a bunch of mags and maybe only 8-12 hours of time.

    Maybe I should turn this into a build thread.
