It's also quite lovely,,,
I am one of those fiery-arm aficionados,,,
Who feel that the aesthetics of a gun are also important.
Life is too short to shoot an ugly fiery-arm

The ruger 10/22 was my first firearm purchase long ago when I came to age.
I had one of those ramline folding stocks waiting for that day.
The ramline folding stock became ebay candy in the mid to late 90s before it got ruined by paypal and buy it now.
The original wood stock saw some forearm wittling to a schnable type.
It had been regulated to the original box for probably 20 years. What was once cool is now meh!
Oh and carrying a rotary mag in your back pocket feels like a brick in there. Dont ask what it feels like if you forget and sit down with it back there!

I imagine it would be like stepping barefoot on a Lego brick,,,Dont ask what it feels like if you forget and sit down with it back there!

You can even make 'em look old. It scratched the itch for a real M1A...

Those are such cool builds!
Don’t judge me, but I kinda like my S&W M&P .22. The only Ruger I own is the Mark V. .22 handgun.
I got a 10/22 a couple years ago at Atwoods on sale and it was not accurate and I traded it and then began reading about all the tweaks and parts you can buy for them to make them accurate.
Question: Why did Ruger not make it accurate and fix some of the reliability issues.
My model 60 was dead nuts reliable and very accurate.
Is it because my 60 was 30 years old and this new stuff Ruger turned out is just quick money.
Do people want to really spend money on something they need to fix up?
I may be in the wrong camp on this.
But if i have a firearm that is reliable and stupid accurate i do not want to change it.
I see a lot of this adding bling like putting Hemi badges on a Slant 6 car.

I'll not judge you,,,
Or at the least I won't be negative towards your choice.
People shoot what they like for the most part,,,
I don't own a Ruger 10/22 either.
I'm just intrigued by the many ways they can be customized,,,
Both for looks and function.
Myself, I shoot a CZ-512 rifle and a CZ-512 carbine,,,
Out of the box I'll put them up against,,,
Any out of the box 10/22.

That's actually the only one I "almost" bought,,,
A member of my range had one like that,,,
Even had mags that looked proper.
I believe they were just covers for the regular 10/22 mags,,,
But don't quote me on this.
It was just too cool for words,,,
He was shooting a real carbine,,,
His son was shooting the look-alike.
The son had outgrown it,,,
And offered it at a reasonable price,,,
Fortunately for me I was a bit short on cash that month.
