My uncle gave me a 10/22 years ago. I think it was for my 15th or 16th birth day. Anyways I started out with a stock Ruger like this one. I was working at an under 21 nightclub called "Hots" off of West Washington Street until they closed it down. I saved up my money and bought new parts and accessories for it every chance I had.
I upgraded all the internals, added a red dot, Volquartsen weighted barrel, Butler Creek folding stock and 25rd mags. I thought the weighted barrel looked like a silencer, I wish i would have just bought a bull barrel. I think the barrel cost more than the gun. Oh well.
Once I turned 21 I kinda lost interest in the 10/22. I had a better paying job so I started buying handguns, rifles and shot guns. I had a Bushmaster AR that was my new baby and couldn't afford to shoot it anymore so I sold it and I'm back to the basics.
Here it is with my new UTG quad rail. Its an awesome upgrade at only $40. The handguard was not compadible with my Butler Creek stock so I had to modify the stock a little. I had to chop the front of the stock off where the barrel clamp is suppose to go.
Since this is a 22 and I'm trying to keep the prices down, I was thinking that maybe some cheap clone flip-up sights and a clone EOtech perhaps... Anyone have any experience with a fake EOtech? I cant justify putting a real one on this budget fun gun.
Still a work in progress, comment and suggestions welcome.
