SW22 Victory Upgrades Part 5

It’s time to wrap up my Project Victory SW22 Victory Upgrades series. I started with a pretty good base – the S&W Performance Center version of their SW22 Victory.

The Crickett Chipmunk Adult Hunter gets a chassis. For Kids.

In my not-too-humble opinion, the Kraken lower from TandemKross* is one of the best things to happen to the Ruger Mark IV 22/45.  It’s a completely redesigned, stripped aluminum lower, ready to take OEM or aftermarket parts. Obviously, the idea behind it is to assemble it using really great aftermarket parts. There was just one … Read more
