Rundown of the parts list:
1. Green Mountain Barrel 20" SS Fluted. 2. Hogue Over-Moulded Stock. 3. Simmons 3.5-12 x 40mm. 4. Leupold Base and Rings. 5. Volqartsen Bolt Buffer and Magazine Release. 6. Harris Bi-Pod BRM-S 7. Factory Trigger System(Upgrade to Volquartsen TG-2000 Later). 8. Factory Ruger Bolt Assembly(Sanded, Smoothed, and Polished) 9. Factory Ruger Receiver(And yes kiddies that thing is 24 ct. Gold plate). I am VERY happy with the looks of the gun. With having the receiver plated it made the factory pin holes and barrel hole very tight...so I had to sand lightly to remove some of the plating to make it all fit together......this thing is TIGHT. It is not coming loose unless I make it come apart. I just hope it SHOOTS as good as it looks!! |
Nice!!
How does it shoot? Allen |
Won't know until Saturday :( :(
|
That thing looks nice. At first I thought it looked exactly like mine with the exception of the barrel (i.e., I have one of those crappy Butler Creek carbon barrels), but then I noticed the receiver. That is nice.
Did you polish the bolt yourself? If so, how did you accomplish it? I wouldn't mind having my bolt look like that. Also, I have the stainless steel receiver, could I polish it up and make it look really shiny too? |
To polish the bolt I first sanded it totally smooth with a rough grit sandpaper....then went to a smoother sandpaper...until I finished off with 1000 grit to make it really smooth. Next was a total polish job with Flitz polish. Shined it up real nice :)
I also polish inside the reciever. Made a big difference in the way the gun worked!!! alot less jams!! I am sure the reciever could be polished....try it on an area you cant see first...... |
the 22lr recivers are aluminum and im pretty sure they can all be polished to decent shine.
my 10/22 just has 16.5" gm blue fluted barrel and 10/22T laminated stock with weaver base and burris rings with 3-9x40 leo mounted to it in matt. trigger has been slicked up to a smooth 3lbs and thats about it barre shoots very good. its one of my most fun rifles when im not shooting centerfire. im sure yours will be a shooter.

I am actually planning on putting in the VQ TG-2000 complete system. I am not happy with the way the stock ruger is put together.......one of the holes(Trigger return spring??) is even off center a bit....Sides, I want the trigger assembly to be Stainless :D:D
|
have you looked into to KID triggers.
if your gona be spending this much in a trigger group, id give them serious look. Encorebilly might know theyre website. the kidd trigger is known to be the all out best trigger ever made for the 10/22. and its only 50-75 more than vq's trigger cant remember exackly how much. 275 comes to mind as a pricew on the kidd trigger. |
HEY CAPTAIN
NICE LOOKIN' RIFLE. ONE QUESTION THOUGH. HOW DID YOU PLATE THE RECEIVER? THAT IS SPIFFY. |

Quite expensive, but that is 24 Kt. Gold plate. So it is expected to be a bit pricey. The place I sent it to charges $60 an hour to plate. I know it is a 3 part plating procedure. It is cleaned and paint stripped first, then copper plated. If that plates well, then it is nickel plated. After that it is on to the Gold :) An I will check into the Kid trigger thanx :) |
