Kingston Armory Steel 10/22 Receivers on Gunbroker

[M2HB]

For that reduced price, those receivers are a steal.

I may buy more.

I'll be threading the receiver for a screw in Benchmark barrel .

Also using screw in barrels on both my my Ruger Charger and the M.O.A. stainless receiver... both of which have Lilja tight groove barrels. The M.O.A. shoots indescribably well, managing a perfect 250 on its first outing shooting an Appleseed with peep sights. Very excited to see how the Benchmark barrel performs in this Kingston receiver.

Do you have a link? I didn't see any.

Blackwolfe I'll report back how the receiver looks when it arrives in case you're interested. Heard the early ones were a bit rough. Hoping the ones this seller bought from Kingston were the later "smooth" ones.

I bought 10 of them a while back in consecutive numbers, it two groups. The ones I bought were in the white and they looked great.

I sanded them with 400 grit wet and dry sandpaper on a flat surface and then had them Nitride treated. They look as good, or better, than any other 10/22 receiver I own.

I had tried contacting them a long time ago when I first saw these pop up on GB. I was inquiring about the material, as I would love to do a color case hardened 10/22 with a high polish blued barrel, and a high-figure walnut stock.

Never heard back from them regarding the material though.

May have to take a chance on it for the $100 it would cost (receiver + shipping + transfer fee)

I received the two I ordered. The Power Custom bolts I have do not fit. There are some pin holes in the castings. I guess I have some polishing to do. The finish appears to be a dark black, rough sprayed on coating, but not really sure. I thought Parkerized finish has a green cast to it.

S&P Outfitters now has them in stock

I have seen the factory parkerized receivers and compared them to the ones I had Nitride treated. They looked almost identical. I could tell the difference, but not by much. Some parkerizing does have the green tint to them but the Kingston receivers I’ve seen are black.

If someone is looking for a heavy duty receiver that looks just like a stock Ruger receiver, then these are the way to go. Besides, they are worth much more than they are selling for. Try to find a cast steel receiver and see what it would cost to make.

The Kingston receivers are not on sale any more price is now $89.95 each . They are cast steel and should take well to case hardening .

[M2HB]

The Nitride treatment I had done on mine is a form of case hardening.

When I bought my receivers, they were in the white.

I was wondering what they would look like if they were color case hardened. I think they would look awesome.
