Hello,
I asked in another thread about an auto rifle for my mother to shoot in rimfire matches. 10/22 seemed to be the best option. Matches consist of paper at 50 and 100, KYL at 75 yards, match sticks at 25 yards and 25 knock downs (5 min, 50 shots) out to 200, which he is changing to 300yrds now after me and one other guy cleared it last match. My mom came and watched and now wants to try, but doesn't want to work a bolt, hence the auto. Anyways that's the back story.
I picked up a used 10/22 at the local pawn shop yesterday. I want to do some basic upgrades without spending a crazy amount of money. This is what I know I am doing.
- BX trigger upgrade
- Extended mag release
- Kidd auto bolt release
- I am going to stick with factory barrel for now, unless it does not perform.
- sticking with factory stock for now as well, need to tune an hopefully shim to
allow for free floating, suggestions welcome.
What i am not set on is the bolt. I know it is recommended to send out to CPC and have it worked on but for $50 more bucks would I be better off buying a Kidd bolt? There is a little bit of a time crunch, next match is coming up, want to have it ready for it.
Also, looking for recommendations for an extended charging handle. If I go the Kidd bolt route I would most likely go Kidd for this as well.
If I go with the Kidd bolt route I will only have ~$375 into the gun which includes getting her 2- 25 rd bx mags. I got a good deal on the gun. Which is under the $400 before the optic budget I was aiming for. Any other suggestions on upgrades are welcome.
A couple issues i have encountered with the gun I am looking for some knowledge on. The trigger group wiggles a little bit, Not sure if that will go away with the BX trigger or how to fix if it doesn't. When i dismantled the gun the barrel slipped off the receiver with no issue and wiggles when inserted into receiver, so the fit is not tight. This seems like it will be an issue. Any suggestions welcome.
This forum has been awesome while getting into rimfire shooting and I appreciate everyone's time and willingness to help.
Thank you,
Jason
