I think I found my next .22 purchase! They now offer a Takedown version and it uses an AR grip, oh my.......

Looks awesome! And the bx15 mag is something I have wanted for a long while. Definitely on the list now.

I just found a review by Jeff Quinn at GunBlast:

New Ruger Charger & Charger Take-Down Semi-Automatic 22 LR Pistols

Mmmmmm anyone else think the takedown would make a great suppressed SBR starter kit?

 

[T-DOGG]

Now I know what I'm doing with the gift certificate for the LGS that my wife got me for Christmas. I want that takedown version badly. And I think that will be a great platform for my first suppressor. This has got me all kinds of excited today! What an awesome surprise on my Birthday!!!

Glad it has come back. I looked at one a while back and regretted passing on it.

So would it be legal to throw an "AR" style stock on it and replace the butt stock with an SB-15? I'm thinking yes. And I'm also thinking I want it.

If they made a stainless wire folding stock I'd SBR one.

I think the redesign looks a lot better than the originals

I think I'm really feeling a Troy stock with a sig brace.

I'd like to see them make a "Mare's Leg" type handgun similar to this:



It's fun to shoot and with with a cheek weld on the stubby stock, it's almost as accurate as a rifle.

Definitely better looking, IMHO, than the original. Never would have considered the original, but this one is a definite possibility.

Played around a little bit in my paint program and kinda had something like this in mind:

Ruger is ON FIRE these days.

Agreed. I just got back from Whittakers and between the American rimfires and variety of 10/22s there were probably 5 or 6 models i seriously wanted to take home.

Not sure how the brace would fly with the BATF on a charger since it's designed attachment point is a part of the AR pistol platform, necessary for its operation. On the charger, the furniture would have to be modified to allow for mounting the brace.

Works for the AK pistol, and it's not attached to a point necessary in for operation.

With BATF approval? I know there is a letter saying it is ok for the AR platform, but was not aware of such a letter for an AK. (Asking because I really don't know)

 

[T-DOGG]

I wonder if the AK version could be modified to work, or at least use a similar bracket to mount the brace. I dont know on legality at this point, just kinda spitballing for right now. Didn't someone else use the brace on a non AR or AK platform and post a pic somewhere on INGO ? I will search for the pic.

Shouldn't matter what weapon or where it's attached. It's a brace. Not a stock. I have an SB-15 on a PAP.
