I have purchased this Ruger 10/22M, .17 HMR, Clark, Kidd

Will pick up next Tuesday.

So far i know to do the followng .

Remove the second extractor, if there is one.

Any other suggestions?

Am I stuck with the Ruger Rings?

Don’t know much about .17 conversions but you can use any rings you want. I’ve never had Ruger rings on 10/22mg or 10/22 or the original 44 Carbines. I use Weaver base and usually steel rings from other manf.

 

Like a 77/22 the bases are part of the receiver and use the Ruger proprietary rings. So whay are the alternatives for that constraint , i have. 30 mm tube scope that i want to go on it

 

I sent the rifle with what I think are Burris rings that fit the Ruger, but they are 1". There are two extractors.

 

Yeah its great, but Im ocd!

 

I believe the scope rail adapter for a Mini 14 will fit
the Magnum, it converts it to a pic rail.

 

I went with the Weig-A-Tinny Ruger 10-22 mag mount from Weigand Machine and Design. This will allow you to use any rings you like.

I had the best luck using the Hornady brand hmr ammo in my Ruger 10-17 with a Butler Creek barrel. The Browning & Federal brand ammo didn't do good in my setup.

 

I just coughed up $75 for the 30 mm medium Ruger Rings. and I have quite a stash of 17 hmr
if this gun runs as good as I hope. Then Ill have a WMR HMR HM2 and the 22 Kidd. Ill buy 2 kidd 2 stages for the WMR and HM2, and gift/ sell the 10 other 1022s . And trim down the the other inventory too, And keep a bolt gun in each caliber, and call it a day. So keep your eyes open , Im on the verge of liquidation.

While you have the bolt out removing the inner extractor I would do a general clean up of burrs and rough spots. I would also install a recoil buffer and a sharp pointed outside extractor made by multiple people. If you have the ability I would also smooth up the guide rod on the bolt. It all sounds like a lot but it is kind of fun to know how things work and make small improvements.
