10/22 Factory Stock Project Part Two: It’s Finished

by

Back in March, I posted the start of this project. This winter seemed endless, and I was bored. In that window between “too cold to shoot, but not warm enough to spend evenings in the garage”, I hatched a plan: Reshape and then refinish an OEM 10/22 stock.

Mostly it’s because the 10/22 factory stock is pretty ordinary. Since I’m in the middle of what feels like a never-ending winter, I’ve decided to take on … Read more

TandemKross Manticore Trigger

The TandemKross Manticore Trigger is the most feature-packed trigger available for the 10/22 and similarly-patterned firearms. This innovative trigger assembly is adjustable for weight, pre-travel and over-travel. It’s also got a magazine release that works whether pushed or pulled.
