Not much of a smithing job... but my new custom 10/22

A little longer than ideal, but it keeps from needing one of those overpriced stamps

Good to hear, and a nice job on the gun.

If someone does find himself with a bullpup that's a bit too short, there are a couple of remedies; either permanently attach a flashhider, use a longer barrel, or extend the butt by attaching a pad or an extension.

Thats some good advice, expecially on the pad. Never thought of that.

Might make some of those guns nicer to shoot as well.

Nice! It looks like your design brings the ejection port close to one's shoulder; did that cause any problems when firing away? or is there enough space/clearance? just curious

The ejection issues I can find are more that of the gap between the body and the ejection port in that area. I need to fill it with some material and epoxy, and sand it down so no rounds get hung up. I had one slide into that gap, and the next got caught on there and held the bolt open.

Next time I have it open I'll take some more pictures so you can see the inner workings.

I would love to have a receiver that would let me use modified P90 magazines.... Probably be more of a AM100 clone than a 10/22 at that point

After the last weekend and about 150 rounds through it, I have to say that the ejection issues are gone, not i found that the trigger is a tad too tight, and something shifted to make the trigger not rest fully forward, making the gun unable to fire for a second shot. Probably too mych pressure, and that is the most difficult part of this build, getting the trigger set perfectly.

Past that, its been a head turner and a fun plinker, and everyone (except one dissapointed lefty) has loved shooting it.

Updated with pics of the internals. figured why not.... trigger issues stemming from stock trigger (factory 9 lbs! ) and the activation rod bending without tripping anything. I solved that, and it now trips the trigger, and resets just fine.
