I bought a couple of Andersons once. Now I regret not buying a Areo or something nicer. One Anderson has the the take down pins out of line a little.
do you just want the cheapest price, or do you want the best value for your money?

S&P sells Ruger receivers cheap, but KIDD probably has the best value, since they are top notch quality for what you spend..the only downside to a KIDD receiver, is the proprietary scope rail

a good middle of the road receiver is the one made by Pike Arms and sold by TI...they have several different variations as well as colors available to choose from

Just a stock ruger is fine. I have a bunch of stock ruger parts laying around and decided to just slap a plinker together and clean up some of these extra parts laying around that I will never use otherwise. But by the time I buy a receiver (unless cheap) and pay my FFL paperwork and then get a bolt (I have all the rest) then I am close to buying a new 1022 and then its not worth it. Maybe I will just end up selling my other 1022 parts instead. Undecided.

I'm in the same boat Woodknack. Have a nice GM standard taper barrel and a sweet French walnut stock but having trouble finding a complete receiver/bolt assembly for less than the price of a parts rifle ($300+/-).

I may just go the Kidd route that Crackedcornish suggests. They do make good stuff!

Thanks Toomany22s but I'd rather blemish my own receiver :pirate:

But that is probably the cheapest available!

Ya i saw those after the fact. I will have to get my dealers info as they don't have it on their sight to ship it to. I beginning to think all the effort isn't worth it to throw a stock 1022 back together. Thinking maybe selling the stock parts is a better option. Free up some more room in one of my safes.

Call your ffl , have them email a copy of their ffl to S&P , easy peasy. $80, and youve got a new gun. Give it to a kid.

It's good to have choices. But as the receiver is the heart of your rifle, as others here have said, go with the KIDD receiver. Everything about it is first-rate. Yes, it costs a bit more, but you won't have any problems with it of any kind (your barrel may b a very tight fit and that is good.)

Oh I agree kidd is great for a build but I dont see putting the money in for a kidd receiver to put a all stock 1022 together for a plinker.

Still thinking if this is the right move now. My dealer also get $25 paper fee so now that $80+ shipping and paper fee comes in to over $100. To put back together a stock 1022. Im thinking my best move would be just sell all my stock 1022 parts and move on.

I am just now catching up with the latest 10/22 trends, so please excuse me for asking: why is the Kidd scope rail a "downside"? Thanks, Ed

For $100 or so, you can have another 10/22. That way you have a stock one to compare your super cool ones to.

You would also have a loaner rifle to get newbies started on and if it gets scuffed you won't care as much.

Also, if you decide you don't want it, then you could sell it as a working rifle. Even with what you would spend to make it complete, I think you'd get more for it than a pile of stock parts.

Nobody pays big $ or really wants stock parts, thats why you have enough laying around to make another rifle.

True but I also need a complete bolt and v block and screws. Now I am getting real close to a complete used 1022. I am trying to weigh my options. I have my dealer looking i will see what he comes up with. Other wise I think im going to sell some stuff. My safes are over flowing with everything. time to clean some stuff up OR buy another safe! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
