UPDATE: Iron Maiden Project Pt. 2

We finally got all the parts in for the build. First item received was the ATI 6 position collapsible folding composite stock, with cheek piece. Second was the Pro-Mag extended height piccatiny rail, center portion of the rail is hollowed out to allow for use of the iron sights. Third item is a 4x32 scope, and finally we got a OD green neoprene sling.




Barrel and receiver assembly was removed from a Ruger 10/22 walnut stock, simple tools were used for the build, a Phillips and flat head screwdriver and 2 Allen wrenches.







The build took less time then it did for us to can 6 quarts of corn.

Project "Iron Maiden"

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).




The New Ruger "Takedown" breaks apart
at the receiver and barrel.


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.
