Building a M1 Carbine Replica

[@D148521]

Absolutely great video, and VERY helpful to me.

The new brown color reminds me of an Enfield Jungle Carbine my dad had. Great video and review, thanks!

I did same as you a few years ago. Bought the stock kit, Tech 200 sights, & mag extension from E Arthur Brown. Hated that finish, so I removed it and stained it with Minwax Red Oak and finished it off with Tung oil. At that time it only came with an upper hand guard with a cut-out for the Ruger rear sight but I was later able to get a hand guard without the cut-out from E.A. Brown. I've since put a longer skeletonized charging handle on it which makes cocking a little easier. No problem plinking tin cans at 100 yards with these peep sights. Great looking rifle and a good, accurate, and reliable shooter. I think it was worth the extra cost and I'm very happy with mine.

Nice! Going to do this project with one of my grandsons. Thanks for the video.

[@garywatkins5533]

I think you did an awesome job restaining it.... actually a little lighter than an original BUT looks awesome. Thanks for a great video

[@Randy-pj5rm]

Where do you get this conversion kit at?

[@phitaujwalk]

I got the Ruger M1 carbine version and replaced the charging handle with a JWH extended one which is closer to the original and much easier to use.

[@titch-media]

good idea

[@shaneleonard7218]

That looks great!

[@royshobe6642]

thanks for making this video

[@titch-media]

Glad you liked it. Fun kit to make!

[@YoungSteve17]

Just ordered this kit. Just to clarify, your process was, 1. Strip red finish with 00 steel wool 2. Stain with cognac 3. Seal ?

[@titch-media]

Yes that was the process I used. You can use a different color stain depending on what color stock color u want. Enjoy your project!

[@tubnquagchannel1338]

Good job sir!

[@Gunthusiest]

Who makes that magazine snap on piece?

[@titch-media]

The magazine was included in the stock kit so not sure who made it.

[@bryansimmons4550]

4:16 It's not a barrel band................ it's a hand guard.

[@stevesmith5042]

Can you provide links to purchase this kit?

[@titch-media]

The kit is available from E. Arthur Brown and Brownells for sure. If you search on MI Carbine Replica Ruger 10/22 you might find other vendors who may have it at a lower price.

[@user-ph3vt5eo6l]

i really like m1 but cant afford so searched about 10/22 and sure enough heres a kit, very cool. link to kit and parts, is it expensive?

[@titch-media]

The kits were not expensive and info on where to buy them is in the comments! Good luck and enjoy building your own!

I looked at the ruger that already comes set up like this.. the Talo I think. Don't make them anymore. I found the Chiappa M1 22 it costs abot 100 dollars more than a Ruger 10-22 but it is a lot closer from the bolt to the mag release to the safety. To be honest my 10-22 is a tack driver at 50 yards. The Chiappa is just as good. Plus my Rugers killed a lot of squirrels and rabbits and several hogs so I didnt wanna change it.

[@richardjacobs7632]

Is this a non- fire?

[@titch-media]

We fire it at the end of the video.

I have 3 real m1’s and of all the .22 rifles I own I do not have a 10/22 . But what I do have are a couple Marlins that came from the factory that were made to look somewhat like an M1 . Model #s are as follows . The 99m1 is a ten round tube fed and the 989M2 os the same but is box fed . They basically are based off the model 69 action and can be had for less than the $600.00 MOST OF THE TIME . Looking at the auction sights some people are asking outrageous prices but the ones I bought that look like new with the original sling we’re under 3 Benjamin’s. Just my two cents . So what you will .

[@darrellruehter9877]

That should have said Off the model 60 action . My phone changes things all by itself . Like the Do/So .

[@jayssecretstash]

Great video, and the stock looks way better. I've been looking at getting a 10/22 for my son and wanted to do a M1 conversion to it, do you think this stock will work using the 10/22 Tactical with 16.1" threaded barrel?

[@titch-media]

Thanks for the video feedback. I like the idea of using the tactical but not sure about it fitting the stock. I would ask the manufacturer. :)

[@shannonking3201]

those sights mess the look up,buy surplus m1 sights

[@kauphaart0]

Do you even know what a barrel band is?

[@titch-media]

Thanks buddy! Meant to say handguard! Good catch!

[@FeatheredDino]

You could buy a Chiappa M1-22, which is a 1:1 Replica of the M1 in .22LR, for less than you could buy and convert a Ruger 10-22..... Actually a brand new Chiappa M1-22 costs about the aame as rhe Ruger 10-22 out of the box. So you save a lot of money by not having to buy conversion parts! but also the M1-22 is of course a 1:1 replica. It's the real deal, only in .22LR

[@M1car-bean]

Why build a replica when you can get a USGI for around $1000 to 1200$

[@titch-media]

It cost less than $600 to do the replica. Plus it uses much cheaper ammo and I use it with my grandkids as an original M1 would be too much for them to handle. They get a kick out of firing it!

[@farleyjj1]

Going to build this with my grandson.

[@stearnsbingham552]

A 22 cannot be an m1 replica. Must be 30 carbine

[@TheSulross]

yeah, got click-baited into this video and then defalted when seeing the so-called replica would fire 22LR

[@farleyjj1]

Lighten up😂 the manufacturer of the stock calls it a "tribute." great project for a grandchild.
