Putting together a competition ready 10/22

[@billalumni7760]

For tight barrel fit try putting the barrel in the freezer for an hour and use a heat gun on the receiver for a few minutes (wear gloves it gets hot) and then try putting them together. Much easier.

[@InLineDiesel6]

I just did that on a build. The barrel fell into the receiver using the method you described. I also put a thin coat of anti-seize on the barrel where it goes nto the receiver.

[@billalumni7760]

@@InLineDiesel6 Great idea on the anti-freeze.

[@RimfireAddicted70]

I cringe seeing people force barrels into actions. As you seen it wasn't aligned once you seated it. A heat gun on the action to warm it or placing it in warm oven for a few minutes is a much safer and far less risky way to install a barrel. If you've ever built precision AR's you will see this is how high end assemblies are done to avoid damage. You may get away with no damage but a 1st time builder/assemble might not. As a machinist would tell you, you never hit anything that has threads. It's a nice looking rifle.

[@longrangetactics]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@peterburke7549]

as above made me cringe.

[@alanlurie8675]

Completely agree. I would use a pipe clamp with wood blocks and slowly seat it.

[@olesarge8147]

What about the buffer pin? You don’t need it on a competition rifle? On my stock, it included a set pin to install at the rear of the receiver to eliminate movement (rocking) to aid in precision while shooting. Also, I installed both aforementioned items along with all the other items that you utilized. I guess I could have saved money, or I didn’t need them. Well, I think you might need them though, maybe not so much the set pin, but sooner or later your bolt is going to get stuck during operation without that buffer pin.

[@longrangetactics]

If it's just to eliminate movement, it's arguably not needed for operation but it would likely help in precision shooting. So it's up to you often times. I'd say might as well put it in and make it solid. Cole may have just skipped that in the video for brevity. -Dave

[@billsail2460]

Without that rear buffer you will be in trouble a little later..

[@longrangetactics]

I didn't have one at the time I made this. They were on order, but yes it does need a buffer.

[@jackmorris3997]

No he missed it ! He had to cut to put the receiver in. Hahaha

[@Okieinspector]

I was about to say that same thing ! Glad you got one in there

[@denisniederhoffer8716]

I was about to say the same. Also, I would have never beat that barrel in. It will play hell if you need to pull the barrel.

[@thebigrandy321]

i know this is an old video but whats the purpose of a carbon barrel? i thought that the bull barrel was supposed to be heavy to help make the bang stick more stable

[@brentsorensen4603]

Should you not put the action buffer pin in before screw the action to the stock

[@longrangetactics]

Yes you should, I however didnt have one and they didnt come with one. I have since added them to them as we ship them out to the public.

[@TheAdam2877]

Am I missing something? I didn't see you put the Buffer pin in the actions rear. That is what your bolt carrier bumps against to keep the charging handle and carrier from slamming against the real too hard. Good video but you had me worried about the buffer pin and when you took the hammer to tap in the trigger group pins lol.

[@jerrycandelaria8845]

Can you show a video that uses that hole in the back of the receiver to clean the rifle I don't see the convenience you still have to take the entire rifle apart

[@SMFC1025]

Have a Tim trigger on mine that the safety won't stay middle. How hard would it have been to shave off 1/8th of an inch for the safety? That's what I call a good product 😂

[@njcranes]

Nice overview, thanks

[@jbpmidas]

What about the buffer?

[@longrangetactics]

Yes I missed that part. These receivers do not come with them, I have a couple on order though.

[@jbpmidas]

@@longrangetactics was hoping to see how you installed the poly buffer. That is the WORST part of reassembly of mine!

[@longrangetactics]

@@jbpmidas I can do another one. I actually make my own now for under a 1.00$

[@500hardcore]

Thanks for taking the time, Nice video! Sorry, 😂 Next time slow it down a little. We would like to hear and see the specifications on the products. Azimuth bolt, with dual internal rail design, would have been nice to see, up close since no body rarely shows Azimuth products.

[@longrangetactics]

Thank you and thank you for the feedback!

[@500hardcore]

Dose the “Azimuth Receiver” come with the bolt, and V-block?

[@longrangetactics]

@@500hardcore Yes it does, we have them on our website

[@ramrod340x]

Does this 10/22 have that new BLUE TOOTH BUFFER??🤔

[@jerrycandelaria8845]

Did this build require not putting in the bolt retaining pin?

[@ArmatisReviews]

Great video showing how easy it can be to put one together. Thanks!

[@longrangetactics]

You bet! Thanks for watching!

[@ScottPriestley]

Thanks Cole! Question about the rear tang on the receiver - does it not use a screw to get tightened into the stock? I thought receivers and stocks with rear tang had a front and a rear screw? Also, the Victor Titan has a set screw in the rear to take up any slack. Is that used with the rear tang?

[@longrangetactics]

Some of the 10/22 stocks do use them yes. Alot just have the front screw and it has a ledge in the rear that it slides into. Im still figuring out this stock so ill have to play with it and see

[@chiquitotrio2709]

I want to set my stock ruger 10/22 to a competition set up. What are the parts needs to be replaced?

[@longrangetactics]

Trigger, possibly barrel if it doesnt shoot, and a good solid stock

[@cracken2350]

Where can I get an action

[@MACStrengthPerformance]

I'm getting ready to upgrade my kids for steel shooting and came across this. Do you have any recommendations for lightweight youth 10/22 builds

[@longrangetactics]

Yes, build one. There aren’t a ton of ultralight setups but they can be done. The KRG with a proof is light, however not cheap. What’s a budget?

[@longrangetactics]

I have recently got the Luth AR 10/22 chassis and its super light and adjustable!

[@cacinaz8802]

What bolt did you use? I don't recall you mentioning that?

[@longrangetactics]

It is the bolt we sell with the actions. Its an azimuth

[@dingo5208]

Good thing you didn't keep it real with something we can all afford. Can't wait to get my "donated" parts.

[@arshooter1]

use a dead blow to install barrel

[@Whitchhunter666]

Firepin is held back, safe to dry fire.

[@longrangetactics]

Thanks for watching!

[@longrangetactics]

I never dryfire 10/22 rifles unless I have ensured the firing pin cannot strike the barrel

[@Whitchhunter666]

@@longrangetactics The factory made sure of that. And all aftermarket bolts do too. It's perfectly safe to dry fire 10-22's

[@longrangetactics]

@@Whitchhunter666 It is on some and not on others. I have personally fixed quite a few from hitting the barrel and that makes the rounds not feed right. It can happen, if you wanna roll the dice go ahead, but i wouldn't until I checked protrusion

[@gauravshrestha4776]

How would you compare this receiver/barrel combo to Volquartsen or Kidd in terms of quality and accuracy? Thanks

[@longrangetactics]

They are all great options. This is a bit cheaper but still built with quality. The ones I have personally show have grouped very well! Quality is very good, the action has very tight but forgiving tolerances.

[@jonleone777]

Put barrel in the freezer and action in the oven. Will slip together nicely.

[@longrangetactics]

Awesome info, thanks for the tip!

[@MrBlahzay]

A $2000 22lr rifle, wow!! Thats excessive....
