Since I didn't find too much info on the Crazy Ivan Ruger 10/22 chassis I decided to buy one and try it out for my self and share my experience with you all.
I was looking for someting that mimics the ergonomic of an AR-15 that could be used as a trainer for IPSC Minirifle competitions (which of course translates over to IPSC Rifle competitions where AR-15 is the main model used).
I really wanted something with as few take down screws as possible for disassembly and cleaning. Since there will be some volume of shooting done.
The NC chassis looks and feels good but seems to be a little of a hassle to disassemble.
First of the manufacturer was helpful and easy to deal with.
The overall quality is good although there are some sharp edges along the picatinny rail that I think should have been smoothed out before anodizing.
Instead of using the "thrust screw" putting forward force from the rear of the receiver. I decided to add a small screw in the same place as the Victor Titan stock does. This one snugs up the entire package by putting a small amount of downwards pressure on the trigger group. More or less working as a rear anchor.
The barrel nut and top rail is a solid one piece construction, i put some blue loctite under the entire lenght of the rail before screwing it down on top of the receiver.
I wish the buffer tube extension had been more in line with the barrel and not as low as it is now. One reason is that this would eliminate the need for a cheek riser and giving more options for grips and how high up you can get on them. I also think that there would not be space for a rifle A2 style of receiver extension (coming furhter down in the way of the grip). Guess this has to do with production costs (material and machining steps).
Overall I am happy with my purchase and it is a solid kit that I would recommend as long as the buyer is aware of the limitations.
To sum it up:
+Reasonably priced
+Good quality
+Solid construction
+Necessary hardware included, thrust screw, top receiver (scope mount) screws, grip screw (w/ washer), take-down screw (w/ washer and nylon retainer), buffer tube alignment ring, barrel-nut spacer, grip spacer
+Only one takedown screw!!
-Receiver extension height in relation to barrel and scope rail height (need for cheek riser and it also sets limitations to grip and stock options)
-Some sharp edges on the picatinny rail
