and has anyone ordered and RECEIVED one of these recently?

i want to buy one, but i haven't heard how the new manufacturing is working out

 

90-120 days before they are sent out according to RB Precision and their are several folks on the list.

Here is mine:

 

Morgan, You have got the right Idea. I got the Evolution Chassie and have put a magpull PRS Gen 2 on with a DPMS panther target grip. I sorted the full legnth scout rail and have put the 7" rails on the others. I orderd an Eotech 552 and have got all the GG&G bits to trick it out. Not decided on what bits im putting in the main bit of the rifle. By the way are the back up iorn sites you are using the YH flip ups? If so what are they like any good?

All the best

Chris

 

beautiful. is that one of the new ones, using their own machines?

90-120 days? i was told 30-60 back in early december, so i'd hoped that someone on the list might have already received one of the new ones.

3-4 months?!? wow. i hope they'll be worth the wait.

 

It is not new, I have had this for more than 6 months now. There is a long line of folks waiting for these, the last number was over 200 people waiting for them on a list. So if your interested I would write or give them a buzz and get the facts from them. You know you will have to post pics as soon as you get one...

Best of Luck..

Morgan

 

Morgan... would you mind sharing how much $$$ you have in that excluding the actual donated 10/22???

 

How about a guessing contest?

Evolution stock- $200ish
EoTech-$400ish
Socom stock- $200ish
AR grip- $30ish
Laser/mount- $200ish +
Flashlight/mount- $100ish +
Front/Rear flip sights- $100ish +

Total guesstimate- around $1,230ish, more or less (not including 10/22, accessory rails, or rail covers).

My estimate may be a little high, but I think I'm close for an average range.

 

A lot, trust me... If you really need to know you can PM.

 

I agree 100% once you start you cant stop... :bthumb:

 

Where are you pics Beckett72?

 

I don't spend as much time takings pics, as I do shooting, so I don't have any new/updated pics.
My gun hasn't really changed much since I built it, though, either.

Until I get more pics:

This is also 1st gen stock, but I'm curious to see what 2nd gen improvements are.

 

Nice...

 

hey guys

any idea what your rifles weigh in at? just curious...

 

Just weighed mine, yesterday, at 5 lbs, with ACE skeleton stock (not Magpul PRS, as in pic).

 

Those are GG&G spring acuated flip-ups... They are sweet. Thanks

 

Hey, I've got a question about the Evo stock...I'm planning to buy one soon.

I'm going to be using the standard aluminum 10/22 rcvr and a GM SS .920 barrel, non fluted. Probably 18-20" length.

How does the Evo stock support the barrel? I don't want to risk damaging my reciever, as I've read on this site that with the heavy barrels you should put a pressure pad or something similar at the forward end of the barrel channel to support the barrel...

 

The barrel Free Folats. It doesnt support it. I havent herd anything about pressure pads or supports with after market barrels. I have just read the info that came with my stock and there is no mention of it in there either. I assume that if a support was needed RB precision would of included one

 

I disagree no company can foresee every mod you may perform and cant be expected to supply parts to help you.

The receiver is aluminum and was designed to hold a tapered 18" barrel.
A bull barrel the same length weighs almost twice that, you need to support that weight, JMHO.

I Suppose. Its just all the ones I hve seen in the UK have had 16.5" TacSol barrels on them. The TacSol Weight is 1 lbs. Im not sure the weight of a Factory standard 18" ruger barrel. It would be intresting to know.

 

The TacSol is an Aluminum bull barrel but the GM is steel so there is a large weight difference there. A steel barrel wont instantly harm the receiver either it would take some time.

Back to the topic... I would really like to see the new EVO stock, I will be ordering as soon as they are available. I have my trigger group ready, one barrel (I still havent decided yet!), CA stock with check piece, foregrip, and sight (I have it but have not decided there either, it just might be my Trilux S.U.I.T.)

 

I would quite like to see what the new version is like. I have one of the old ones. Havent completed a build yet. I got the magpull Prs for it and was going to go down the bull barrel route and Kidd trigger group. I had never herd the thing about weights affecting the recver housing. Do you think it will be ok with a TacSol barrel . It weighs 1lb . Do you know what the weight of a normal 18 factory ruger barrel is

Chris

 

I dont know the weight but I would think that the Tac Sol would be fine, like a said it would take some time (or abuse) for a steel bull barrel to do damage.

 

Notice my pics on the previous page, and you will see a Volquartsen Muzzle Weighted Barrel (Very Heavy, Stainless Steel), that is completely Free Floated in the Evo stock.

It never has been an issue, for nearly 2 years now, so there's a highly good chance, it never will be!

MAYBE a longer barrel could cause more leverage to the receiver, but I wouldn't be too concerned, either way, anyway.

 

if you are that concerned just go to your local hardware or plastic store and get some plastic blocks and cut them down to fit between the lower and the barrel. do some research and find something that has a high melt temperature and epoxy it to the lower so it does not move.

 

Cheers for the info. Im guessing it will be fine. When i get round to it I will see hou it is and worst comes to the worst i will bed the barrel in the stock

 

Hi All,
Am just looking for inspiration for an Evolution Build. So what have you guys done with your Evo stocks

Here's mine. I was lucky to get one of the last Evo's before they went out of production. I like them more plain than most.

 

Rill,
It looks superb m8. I like the SBX barrel. It gives it a nice look. Plus the trijicon ACOG aswell very nice

 

RILL! what do you mean by "plain"!? You have an ACOG sight and an SBX barrel! LOL! Looks coolthough, nice rifle!

 

got to love that sbx barrel. does it work well? does it have a thread protector? what ammo have you used in it?

 

Looks real nice, I like the simplicity. How do you like the SBX and ACOG?

 

I guess by "plain" I meant that I didn't want alot of tactical stuff hanging off everywhere.
The ACOG is probably overkill for a .22, but you only live once and I can always switch it to my 9mm AR. It really is a nice piece of equipment.
The SBX is the perfect solution for not having to SBR a 10/22. With the Evo stock, I'm not sure where you could engrave the receiver and have it visable per the law--- maybe the top?
This build has worked out really well. The only original Ruger parts are the receiver and the two pins that hold the trigger group in. It will shoot .5" groups all day long at 50 yds. from a bench and 1" offhand. I use CCI std. vel. for all my suppressed .22 guns, but maybe I could tighten the groups with some fancy target ammo.

I am excited to see the new Evo stock. Has anyone seen any pics? Are there any changes?

 

I dont know if there are any changes. It will be a while before the first ones hit the UK. I will order one anyway just to see if its diffrent. The misses was looking for a new stock so might go for a light weight in rifle in an evo stock for her
