No doubt. They came out just a year or two before I started selling guns and they were good sellers for us, but not as popular as the Marlin and Glenfield .22 semi-autos. We sold hundreds and hundreds of those. You are correct about accessories for the 10/22. I'm looking at a trigger replacement for it, but that's probably about the extent of changes I'll make, beside topping it with an optic of some sort. I think the only long gun with more optional after market parts then the 10/22 maybe the AR platform.srothstein wrote: Sun Sep 23, 2018 5:27 pm I am glad you finally got through the problems. To give you the good news though, I have never met anyone yet who did not have a lot of fun with their 10/22. They are great rifles for plinking or target shooting. I would imagine they are great for small game (squirrel or rabbit) too.
There are lots of accessories out there for them also. Stock replacements, barrel replacements, etc. The only thing I really strongly suggest is a couple larger magazines and a loader for them. The ten shot mag is kind of small for such a fun gun to shoot.

I really like my 10/22 Takedown. Received a few upgrade parts for Christmas last year- was fun disassembling it and installing the new parts. The BX trigger drop in was really simple. The best part was going to the range with it afterwards and everything worked!puma guy wrote: Sun Sep 23, 2018 5:48 pmNo doubt.

Thanks, Abraham I already have the 10/22 rifle and am waiting for an upgraded trigger to arrive. I just put a TRS-25 Bushnell Red Dot on it. I have a couple of 15-22's and they are a blast. Actually I gave one of the 15-22's to my wife who fell in love with it. I could barely get my daughter to give mine back to me when I let her shoot it.Abraham wrote: Mon Sep 24, 2018 12:45 pm If you're undecided or have a difficult time finding, buying a 10/22 consider a S&W 15-22.
I have one and love it!
Over 500 + rounds later, have never experienced a single malfunction.

I put the bolt release, bolt tune up kit and recoil buffer on mine. Approx $65 worth of upgrades. The bolt release, IMHO, is the "required" upgrade as it enables you to release the bolt by pulling back on the charging handle and releasing.
You are a man on a mission. It looks like mission accomplished!puma guy wrote: Wed Sep 26, 2018 4:31 pm My BX Trigger arrived today. I had trouble figuring out what size allen screw held the barrel band (9/64 BTW) but after I got it off and the action removed it was easy peasy. I wanted to check before and after trigger pull but I couldn't find my scale. It is discernibly lighter. Waiting for the rain to end so I can get to PSC to try it out.
