Last year I sold off my trusty old 10/22 custom that had served me well for over 10 years of competition use, I had tried to get hold of a full Kidd Supergrade in the STC stock but had no luck so its time to start building something new.
The idea is a multi purpose rifle that will serve for various competitions from 25 to 200 yards
As luck would have it a local gun-shop had a very nice AMT Lightning on the shelf in excellent condition but minus the original stock so that is the start.
AMT action and bolt with EDM extractor
Kidd single stage match trigger
Green Mountain 20" fluted barrel
Bell and Carlson Anschutz style stock
Weaver 44/40 6.5-20 x 44
I have gone for a Green Mountain barrel because I have never had a bad one and the last 20" one I had was exceptional.
The stock will be milled out to fit an accessory rail but here's the snag, the stock is impossible to get hold of in the UK and no USA supplier will deal with any UK customer. Its so **** frustrating to have the perfect rifle ( for me ) in mind and not be able to complete it for the lack of one thing.
