Troy T22 chassis
So I picked up a Troy chassis for $160!! Absolutely love it, but.....there was receiver movement up and down which obviously affected accuracy. Decided I need to fix that problem.
I installed it on a normal everyday carbine 18.5" 10/22 and was not happy with the receiver play and also did not like the 18.5" barrel that stuck out the front! Luckily I work part time at a shop as a beginner gunsmith and have access to some great tools and even better, a gunsmith with 30+ years of experience. We drilled and tapped the chassis, added set screws to add a little pressure upwards to the receiver and when the upper half is installed it gets rid of any receiver play! Also we cutoff 2.5"'s of barrel, gave it a 11 degree target crown and threaded it. Looks much better with the shorter barrel.
Will post pics later.
