I'd buy one.......

[Pal334]

That does look like one handy fellow. certainly worth checking out.

[crashdive123]

I guess we're sharing the same rock.

[Wildthang]

I may have to get me one of those!

[2dumb2kwit]

I must be livin' under a rock, too....but I swear I didn't see you guys there. LOL

[Rick]

Heavens! Don't let KY see this. He'll buy $900 worth of gear just to make it shoot well and he needs to spend that money on the storm cellar. Me Likey. I wonder if I took a hack saw to my 10/22....naaaaaw.

[Wildthang]

I wonder if it will shoot without the barrel on it, like a snub nosed 10/22

[LowKey]

From what I've experienced with one, probably.
<though it looks like the chamber is on the barrel section.>

[natertot]

I'm not a fan of a 10/22, but I do like the take down aspect and that definately has the ability to persuade me.

I imagine they designed it that way to keep you guys from trying lol

Really cool gun!

[Wildthang]

Does anybody know what one of those will cost?

[kyratshooter]

Bad idea!!

Few people seem to know the 10/22 is already a takedown. All you do is losen two set screws and the barrel will fall out of any of them. You can see the two screws in the second picture with the barrel removed.

The sloppy chamber is the worst part of the 10/22 and this will just accent that problem. Within a few months there will be complaints of Barrel Droop and people will be wanting Ruger to supply gun viagra to solve the problem.

That was the first thing I thought when I saw it. One of the accurizing tricks it to tighten up the union between barrel and receiver by changing out to an oversized Vee-block. Many people go to a threaded barrel shank.

And you guys will wear out the system playing with it before you ever get to shoot it!

No, it will not work without the barrel. The stub that goes into the lock ring on the receiver has the chamber included.

But I did wonder if it would work without the forend. It would not be a bad setup if I could switch out my folding stock.

I'll bet the guys over on Rimfirecentral are going gaa-gaa over this!

Using that system one should be able to retrofit the takedown feature to any 10/22. It looks like a standard receiver with a takedown stub held in place by the standard Vee-block.

The Ruger website lists it at $395.

[Wildthang]

I'm thinking a small folding stock, and it fits right into the backpack!

[kyratshooter]

It already does! Mine makes a dandy pack rifle with the folding stock, even with the full length non-takedown barrel. If I want takedown feature I will just use the AR7.

At $399.95 you can buy a good used 10/22 AND a new AR7!!!

3 Marlin Papposes and an AR7?

Once again, Ruger is trying to price themselves out of the market.

[Rick]

If you want a pack gun go with the Kel-Tec Sub2000

Paid a visit to my local toy store,....... put one on order....first on the list,..... maybe June....$319.99+tax

[kyratshooter]

Finding a Kel-tec carbine is more problem than paying for one at this point!

I always thought the sub2000 looked like a pregnant broomstick with a handle.

KT is designing some fantastic stuff right now but they can not keep up with market demand. I am still trying to find the .22mag pistol!

This takedown Ruger will probably be the same for a while, till the novelty wears off.

[Rick]

Yeah, I wanted the .22 mag as well. I finally got tired of calling them and searching the net. If I'm meant to have one someone will drop it off at the doorstep I guess.

I see the Marlin Papposes for about the same as the AR7. Is that wrong?
