[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4192848, member: 13337"] Okay, it's time to fess up and say why I started this thread,,, It could be that it's just because I'm going a little bit stir-crazy,,, But I'm truly considering diving down that rabbit hole of 10/22 builds. My best friend has helped me out many times since my retirement,,, When I have a medical appointment that I can't drive to,,, He's the one who will ferry me there and back. We worked together at the university for well over 15 years,,, We both started out as student workers there. I graduated with a Masters in Occupational Education,,, The college hired me full time and I retired from there in Jan of 2021. He graduated with a Masters in Educational Technology,,, The college hired him full-time to be their data-base wrangler,,, He eventually rose through the ranks and became the Director of Technology. His only problem is that he is a true family man,,, Being that it seems every time he gets some spare cash,,, One of his children gets sick, or needs something expensive for school. He will never deny his kids (or his wife for that matter) anything they need,,, He always (as it should be) puts their needs ahead of his own. He has been wanting to obtain "that one .22 rifle" that can shoot "one ragged hole" at 50 yards,,, And since I'm convinced that he will never be able to squirrel away the cash,,, It just might fall on me to Friend-Up and build him a custom rifle. I'm retired so I have the time,,, I'm financially responsible so I have the cash,,, I'm just not certain I have the capability to build a precise shooter. It's not that I'm inept in manual skills,,, Heck, I used to work on long-range seismic instruments in the service,,, I put myself through an associates degree building furniture from driftwood,,, And have always dabbled (and made a bit of coin) making "Barbeque Rig" gunbelts/holsters. What makes me hesitate is my complete lack of knowledge in gunsmithing of any type,,, I can read though and this brings me to the gist of this thread. What are the titles of say, two or three [B]good [/B]books on building custom 10/22 rifles? Here are the ones I've found on Amazon,,, Are any of them worth buying?,,, Which is the best one? If so, which one is best?
