My son has a 10/22 and I am thinking about getting a .920 barrel and stock for him. Is the barrel something that can be put on without a gunsmith? Anything I should know before attempting this?
I changed mine years ago piece of cake. You may want to look at Green Mountain barrels. I bought their tapered barrel and used my Walnut stock. A .920 straight barrel changes the balance but thats what most use ... your coin.
All you need is an allen wrench to remove the keeper that holds the barrel in place.
What everyone else has said....easy. With just a little bit of skill and some knowledge you can do almost anything yourself on a 10/22. If you haven't already, check out http://www.rimfirecentral.com. Great source of info.
It is super easy. Just need to remove the screw that holds on the stock and use an allen wrench to remove the block. As previously stated, check out rimfirecentral. It has TONS of advice. Also, consider checking out the tactical solutions barrels. They are an aluminum barrel with a chromoly steel sleeve.
Thanks, my son is 12 and I didn't want to get up Christmas and not be able to put it together. I want to wait until then so we can do it together.
easy as pie...take off (loosen) barrel band and slip off. unscrew stock screw, this will release action/barrel from stock. You will see the block that holds the barrel to the receiver with two allen screws, take them out, twist barrel and it is loose., install in reverse order..nothing complex to it.
