Modified a wood stock for my 10/22 take down

[Dennis]

Hello all. Just modified a wood stock for my take down 10/22 and thought I would share with y’all.

Tools I used.
Lots of measuring devices.
Dremel tool with the sanding disk.
Router with 5/8 bit.
Sand paper.

Here’s what I started with. Got it off Gun Broker last month. I don’t care for synthetic stocks or the color so I seen someone else do this on a forum and decided I would give it a go.

Picked up a cheap stock here it is after cutting in half

Did a little wood removal with the dremel to get the receiver in.
Sorry forgot to take a pic of it but it wasn’t that much. Also drilled the hole for the screw.

Had to sand in a relief for the take down pin. Done this on both half’s of the stock. Used the dremel.

The underside of the for arm requires a substantial amount of wood removed. I used my router set in the bench only took a few minuets. There other ways to do this like a drill and chisels. I also drilled some holes for the take down pin and mounting screw.

I did cut this to deep. I have an easy fix for it.

Done. I need to sand and refinish the stock. I’m going to find an old walnut stock now and do it again and sell this one.

Very nice!

Very nice! Now it looks closer to my much older 10/22 without the scratches, etc.

Question for you 10/22 folks: Are there any Ruger BX25 magazines available at a reasonable price ($70 or so is not reasonable).?

Nice job on the wood stock,....I like them much better than the plastic.
Thanks for posting.

Yes. I purchased two from Ruger back ordered in January. I got them last week. They were like 32 bucks each normal price.

I think my local shop (Shooters of Jacksonville) http://www.shootersjax.com/ was advertising them as in stock a couple of weeks ago along with PMags. I'll stop by next week and check. Send me a PM if you want me to get you some along with a price not to exceed.

That looks really nice. If Ruger would have done that I might have bought one back when they were cheaper.
Hope you can find a walnut stock, I have been looking for one for some time around locally.
