Being the metal head that he is and thanks to the song: "Run To The Hills" by Iron Maiden, Senior has had an idea to build a .22 survival rifle. However with the inflated cost of the Springfield M6 Scout, and an original Armalite M7 Survival Gun and Henry's version of the AR-7 survival gun. He thinks the best platform to build a survival gun is the Ruger 10/22. Ruger does have a new version of the 10/22 that breaks apart at the receiver and barrel for placement in a back pack or to take camping. It is a good idea that Ruger has, but in my opinion its TMMP ( too many moving parts).

Numerous other bloggers have posted about this gun, including myself. There is no doubt of the quality and durability of this gun. And the numerous accessories that are available for it.
His initial plan is a bone stock 10/22 with a Butler Creek Folding Stock with 3 accessory rails toward the end of the front sight.
What we would like to know from my readers are what other accessories would be good to add to this project and your reasoning.
Post pictures of whatever he decides to do with it.

ReplyDeleteI didn't think the Henry AR-7s were too much worse cost wise than a 10/22 or does he just like the 10/22 better(probably an understandable assessment).
ReplyDeletehe likes the 10/22 better-more accessories
DeleteIs it wrong that I am little turned on by this post?? Don't own a rifle, well I do, but not like this, but reading about building one is just crazy fun!
ReplyDeleteNo its perfectly fine to be turned on...he also built a AR-15 last year...so I can't wait to blog about this build.
DeleteOn my blog I have a video of Hickok45 doing a demo of this Ruger.
