Ruger 1022
Tips and tricks
Tinkering with 10/22 is a passion I’ve had for most of my adult life. If memory serves me right, I bought my first brand-new 10/22 carbine back in 1973 for $59.00 plus tax. That was a lot of money for me. I worked after school at a gas station and restaurant earning minimum wage. At $1.60 an hour, it took me several weeks to save up.
I bought a new 10/22 carbine because I wanted to tinker with the used one I already had. Yeah, I was a happy camper with two 10/22s. Ever since then, I've been tinkering and customizing 10/22 rifles. Back then there was no internet. I learned mods and tricks from people I met at the gun range and gun shows.
In those days, parts and accessories were scarce. Gun shows were the only place one could find aftermarket parts, and there were few. Today we have the internet and countless online vendors that sell just about everything imaginable for the 10/22 rifle.
