Ruger 10/22 “M1” Carbine.

The ultimate WW2 cosplay rifle?

View attachment 165801

Feel like storming the Normandy Beaches or planting the flag atop Mount Suribachi? You can make everyone’s favorite 22 look like the WW2 classic M1 carbine.

I was looking for a non-laminate wooden stock for my Ruger 10/22 Carbine that would have a wider forend than the factory stock. It needed a comb-height to accommodate a set of tech-sights. After some searching, I found the 10/22 “M1 Carbine” stock.

Made by our Taiwanese friends, it was reasonably inexpensive. It even fit the reproduction M1 carbine GI sling.

Now a trip to the local pistol range is a deployment to the Ardennes to save democracy from marauding NAZIs.

So... I did a thing. I took a page out of @Kent Goldings' book, and will join him with the Rear Det at Normandy HQ. I have to say, I have no regrets, and this thing looks purty next to its Underwood grandpa. Can't wait to take it out to the range, though I have zero (no pun intended) expectations for the performance of the sights. The goal was an M1 Carbine clone, and to that end I feel it passes the sniff test.

Got the barrel pressed in, drilled and pinned with a nice tight headspace and the rear sight tower pressed on. The bolt carrier is gliding like glass and the dust cover is a nice tight (and easy) fit. Just gotta press on the gas block and front sight tower, drill and pin everything and it's pretty much done.

Mossberg bbl? I drill an 1/8 gas port in all of mine… still a bit overgased

All Polish. FB Chrome Lined Hammer Forged "Sporter" Barrel 16" These are new production concentric to boar threads made with modern tech/machinery. I have one of these in my 1775 clone and it's 1 MOA with steel cased ammo. The barrels are top notch. I use a #30 bit to do the gas port. Gas Port Extended Drill Bit It's about as perfect as you can get for the port size. I have a KNS piston in the 1775 and it needs very few to no clicks of adjustment depending on what ammo I use. I'm actually thinking about swapping it out and putting it in an AK that actually needs it.

Get a little nervous working on those trunnions? Those kits aren't cheap. At all!

make sure you check bbl journal size, most bbls are over quite a bit (.006-.010). Should only have .002 interference on all journals
always sand the bbl journals .. not the parts

Everything I've touched so far went on buttery smooth. The FB barrel is a 2 and the trunnion on the 81 is a 2. I guess the Polish are really good at keeping tolerances even 40 years later. Haven't really had to hit anything with the red scotch brite. What is that laser you're using? Does it index off the hammer? Seems like a really nice way of lining everything up. That Romanian I posted a few pages back was done by eye and using flat surfaces. I only had to adjust the post for height. Not bad since I hadn't played since I believe 2013.

Just a laser lever hung above The laser is staight from frt sight-stock screw in rear trunnion Stamped can get the “banana twist “ if you do the swell rivets wrong

Do you folks headspace to CIP or SAMMI ?
(Speaking in the 7.62x39 /5.45x39 calibers?

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

My gauges are CIP.

 

[FRANKIE]

My gauges are CIP.

Definitely best choice for that application.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Not sure if enough cosmoline was put in this plastic part.

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Done. Breaking out the paracord.

Spent an hour or so cleaning up my newest acquisition. A beautiful Remington Mod. 541-T
The stock was somewhat dirty but some elbow grease and old English furniture polish took care of that. The barrel cleaned up very nice and the exterior of the rifle has very little issues with it.

 

[Bustedknees]

I have a safe queen that I'm thinking of selling or trading to fund a new build. I bought it thinking it would be a nice gun to carry on the atv but I could never bring myself to putting a scratch on it. It has only served as a house gun for shooting critters from the windows . Searches turn up very little and others are too old to be accurate in today's market. The gun is a cherry condition H&R ULTRA in the 25-06 Remington. l'd guess less than 60 rounds through it. I won't put much value to the 3-9x50 illuminated scope.

I've got a Milled Tortorte Chinese receiver with a new barrel stuck about half way in... put the kit away a couple years ago, maybe it's time to drag it back out, might have to split the receiver trunnion and tig it back together.

Many years ago my house was robbed and they stole my Voere Shikar .308 and a Winchester 16 ga. pump shotgun. They left my 1937 Erma single shot .22. I have been replacing what was stolen little by little and then some. I replaced the shotgun with a Beretta semi-auto 12 ga., the Voere with a Mossberg Patriot Revere in .308 and before they ban them again, I bought a Savage MSR with the .223 Wylde barrel. I also picked up a CZ 457 American.

NICE ! There’s just something about wood furniture and blued steel that tickles my fancy.

I Recently acquired this Remington mod. 700 in 300 Ultra Mag ( RUM ) The gun came with about 60 rnds. Of Ammo too.
I haven’t decided on what glass I’ll put on it yet, or if I’m even going to keep it. It’s a real thumper for sure. Should be no problem getting out to 1000 yrds though!

These photos don’t really do this beautiful rifle justice
