Upgrading the Ruger 10/22 Takedown with the Magpul X-22 Backpacker plus Gemtech, Timney and Vortex!

[@MrRiorust]

Nice rig! I did something similar with my 1022 backpacker (no suppressors here in Cali though). I used a Tac Sol X-Ring bull barrel with fiber optic sights, MagPul forward optic mount, Sig Romeo 5, Ruger extended mag release Looks like your Timney) Ruger BX trigger, polished sear etc, w/Kidd mag plunger, Kidd Bolt assembly, Kidd Bolt release, Kidd Bolt Buffer. Shoots very well, more accurate than my stock barrel and at least a pound and a half lighter. I also kept my stock barrel and got another Back Packer forend. Good times. A lot of that noise you are hearing is your bolt slamming back into your stock steel buffer pin, an easy fix. Cheers

I just purchased the 10/22 take down Davidson I installed the Volquartsen Hammer kit, Bolt release , Disconnector, and Sear, Tandemkross extended charging handle, Kidd extractor, magazine plunger, and extended magazine release handle, plus a Bushnell TR-25. Now it’s perfect for me.

Nice set up! All top-notch parts. I bet that thing is a tac driver!

[@Mike-cu6gk]

@@TheBulletPoints thank you, yes it is. I was thinking about getting the complete trigger housing but there is nothing better than doing it yourself. I had the same set-up just a several months ago and once my nephew tried it out I saw the smile on his face and I let him keep it. It took me almost a complete year to find a 10/22 take-down.

[@TheBulletPoints]

@@Mike-cu6gk Damn! You're a cool uncle! And yes, nothing like the pride in building it yourself, with a specific purpose in mind. Happy shooting!

[@Mike-cu6gk]

@@TheBulletPoints thanks plus I surprised him yesterday with a brand new Glock 19 that he always wanted. He named it Glocky 😂

[@OEFarredondo]

what was the total out the door for all that?

[@hunterh8193]

Gosh I’m so ready for my mist to be in. The trigger resets were as loud as the subsonics 😂

[@TheBulletPoints]

Haha! Yep! You're going to love it. Every time I take it to the range it turns heads.

[@Candyvyorn_]

Why didn’t you buy the takedown carbine instead of heavy barrel?

[@TheBulletPoints]

I bought it used, so didn't have much choice. Good call though. If I had bought it new, I definitely would have gone with the carbine.

[@johneroyale]

Would you also recommend changing the scope mount?

[@TheBulletPoints]

It's really up to how much "precision" shooting you'll be doing. The standard scope mount is fine, but if you want to get fancy, the world is your oyster!

[@lukalamarche748]

Is it ok to dry fire a 10/22 ( i know that on newer rimfire rifles the firinf pin doesn't hit the harden steel dimple) but still?

[@TheBulletPoints]

Technically, it's not 'good' for it, but I'm pretty hard on my equipment and generally push things to their limits. If it's a once in a while thing, you're fine.

[@lukalamarche748]

@@TheBulletPoints All right, I know they are supposed to be sturdy as the don have a last round bolt lock open but i've never dared to dry fire on purpose

[@DCPhotog30144]

Hey still have that bull barrel? what to unload it?

[@TheBulletPoints]

Haha! I put another takedown forend on it so I have two guns in one case.

[@vpenkov4908]

What's LOP on this Magpul stock?

[@masterprediction7353]

Can you put that on the takedown lite

[@TheBulletPoints]

Are you referring to the stock, trigger, sight or suppressor? In most cases, I don't see a reason why you couldn't.

[@brianmcclelland6244]

awesome! Can you put a link to the optics and the ammo?

[@TheBulletPoints]

Here's the optic: vortexoptics.com/red-dots/sparc-ar-red-dots/vortex-2019-sparc-ar-red-dot.html Both the super sonic and sub sonic ammo can be found at just about any gun store.

[@jeromekeehn1128]

Just curious, what is original?

[@TheBulletPoints]

The receiver and most internals are original. Stock, trigger, mag release, barrel and optics were added on. It shoots like a whole new gun, because it mostly is! Haha!

[@kee7678]

@@TheBulletPoints this is what I'm building. Any changes since you made the video? I've not purchased anything yet which is why I'm asking! Great video !

[@TheBulletPoints]

@@kee7678 I'm waiting on a different Suppressor/Barrel to come in. It's the Tactical Solutions intergrally suppressed barrel with fiber optic sights. I wanted to change it up a bit and rather than having the Vortex that requires batteries and adds weight, I wanted to have an iron sight style of barrel and TacSol is the only one I found that has integrated sights. Not sure how it shoots yet, as I'm STILL in ATF purgatory (7 months), but when I get it, I'll be doing a reshoot with the new barrel. I'm looking for retained or improved accuracy, retained or improved sound suppression, overall reduction in weight and general usability (not requiring batteries, sighting it in, etc.). If the new barrel can check most or all of those boxes, then I'll remove the Vortex and save some weight. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing on this gun. It's absolutely badass and everyone that shoots it wants to buy/build one just like it. Good luck with your build!

[@kee7678]

@@TheBulletPoints GREAT info. Yes I'm in exactly same boat! Make that video! thanks again

[@kenmaylin4744]

Tacsol sells one similar, w/o suppresor for around $1100....
