NBR 2 (Naughty Black Rifle)

[Oh Shoot]

So, I caught the Ruger 10/22 bug in the last 6 months or so.

I'm sure that come The Meltdown, the critters will all band together to hasten our demise, so without getting totally carried away I put together this RLMED (Rodent, Leporid, and Marsupial Eradication Device):

Took a stock carbine, sold the birch stock of it, added:

- Butler Creek folding stock

(easier to sling carry, muzzle down, when quickly evading groundhog flanking movements)

- Volquartsen hammer and extractor, bolt buffer

(need to be smooth against the critter hordes)

- John Masen muzzle brake/flash hider

(can't let them squirrel and rabbit scouts pinpoint your position)

- Bushnell 3-9 x 32 scope

(need to pick them off at a distance, all is lost if it comes down to mano a mano

- "Winchester" bipod

(precision head shots are a must, especially if the critters have been bitten by zombies)

- See through scope rings

(when running around in the hedgerows can't afford for broken glass to put you out of commission against possums and whistlepigs)

- Butler Creek 25 round banana mags

(hey, more is always better!)

That's one bitchin' .22!

That scope setup looks familiar.

If I were a squirrel, I'd be packing my nuts and moving out of state. Very nice.

I loved your comments on the parts used. Nice rifle also.

WTF is a whistlepig?

[Guest Bluemax]

You ain't right !!!!! We need to hook up and try and eradicate the zombie whistle pig problem we are having in Sevier county. We can set them up in a triangular cross fire, invite Bubbiesdad to join us, an unleash hell on the local rodent, marsupial population

[Guest Bronker]

Awesome set-up, chief!

Love the descriptions too.

You're militant, but I ain't mad at ya!

[Mike.357]

the flash hider really makes that rifle look good. Adds a whole new dimension to it.

Whistlepig = groundhog

What do you have in it total? Or what do you think it would cost to build one?

It makes it Evil. Might need one for mine.

Appreciate the advice on that, bro. Works well.

Yeah, and ya know, that doesn't get hardly ANY liberal media coverage.

Well, lemme see:

Not counting basic carbine itself ($199.99)

To get the "look":

Stock: 85.00 (Cheaper Than Dirt)

See through rings (Gander Mountain): 16.00

Scope: 38.00 (Amazon)

Muzzle Break: 20.00 (CTD)

BC Steel Lips Mag: 28.00 (Midway, I think, everybody sells them)

Bipod: 38.00 (WallyWorld)

To improve action:

Volquartsen Target Hammer: 37.00 (Midway)

Volquartsen Extractor: 8.00 (Midway)

Bolt Buffer (Yellow Jacket): $4 (eBay)

- 30.00 selling the factory stock on TGO

-----------

$244.00 (plus various shipping, but always bought things with other stuff)

or less than $200 without the internal improvements

It makes it Evil. Might need one for mine.

(regarding flash suppressor): Gotta watch it on this stupid thang. I read comments on CTD about it, folks saying that Allen wrench that comes with it is slightly too small. I put it on and even though I read the comments, sure enough, wrung it out before getting it tight. Called company that made it, "big surprise to them", they sent me two more set screws and two more Allen wrenches for free, felt like good fit, but sure enough, just as I got it on (hopefully tight enough) wrench slips freely. I tried every Allen wrench on it I have, but maybe there IS a perfect size and I don't have it, dunno. Anyway, recommend finding exact fit wrench or finding another set screw before even installing, as I believe the screws themselves may be out of spec, not sure.

I will try to remember to bring my set of wrenches, maybe one of mine will fit.

Thanks, I'll be sure and bring gun. It's on there pretty well, I think. I can't take it off right now unless it falls off, though.

sounds like you got it tight, but I will bring them just the same. I just dug them out of the tool chest and stuck them in the truck. I think one set is metric, maybe that will be the ticket.

I look forward to shooting it, Never shot anything with a customized trigger before.

Oddly, the target hammer didn't make this one as nice as it did on my other 10/22, but it's still a lot better than the factory 10/22 clunker.

Such a pretty plinker........

Almost makes me want to get one......

[jeremy155rr]

i want one!

[Guest KarlS]

Nice job on giving it the "look". It worked. Looks like it would take on hordes of inner city rats effectively.
