Not much of a smithing job... but my new custom 10/22
Based on some videos I found online, and my dislike of the stock 10/22 (wished it was the gun that my Henry is in a 22)... thought I would do a kitbash and have some fun.
Take an inexpensive 9if you look) Airsoft P90, do lots of fitting and cutting, not to mention some simple CAD work to lay things out and get sizes right, and viola!  That target was from the 2nd firing, first was for function out in the woods, this was 2 magazines worth of Remington Thunderbolt. Did not even have to zero the sight. It does its job now if I do mine, and should do a ton better once I bed the stock inside of the body. Its pretty sturdy in there, and I think the moving mass is similar to the airsoft internals. Did have a few FTE's though, which should be solved by some careful trimming of plastic and installation of a ramp around the ejection port. All in all, a fun project. May not be useful for hunting, but darn fun anyhow.

That is amazing. It looks awsome.

Re: Not much of a smithing job... but my new custom 10/22
May we assume that the overall length remains 26" or greater, not counting the removable flashhider?
I know that the Muzzlelite bullpup stock, if used with a 16" barrel on a standard 10/22 receiver, would fall under the Federal minimum OAL. Nice looking project.

That doesn't seem to be legal even if the flashhider was perm. attached. I'd get that disassembled ASAP and those pics deleted if thats the case.

Nice looking gun!!! Great job! I hope it's overall length is OVER 26" so you don't have to take that thing apart. How long did it take you to make it?

I had put a bullpup stock on my 10/22. I didn't care for it. It made the gun less shootable. The trigger was spongy. How did your trigger turn out?

Re: Not much of a smithing job... but my new custom 10/22
Since I did not use the carbine version, the overall length is 26.75 before the flash hider
 A little longer than ideal, but it keeps from needing one of those overpriced stamps  The trigger? Still a work in progress. Right now its too crunchy and long. Breaks sharply, but after too much travel. I have a few ideas for it though, and as soon as I find a spare stock trigger, I am going to be trying them out.
