Tried a search sorry if this has been beat to death.

Now that CPC is closed who is working on stock receivers?

Thanks, Matt.

Be more specific.
What kind of "receiver work" are you looking to have done?

 

Good point thanks.

I was thinking trueing but open to suggestions, bolt work? Not sure what all the options are. I'm from the bolt action cf world.

Have an old carbine I'd like to turn in to a silhouette type rifle- looking at barrel/trigger options now, figure while I have it apart mine as well have the receiver gone over.

Thoughts?

Welcome to the forum.

Not sure anyone works on Ruger receivers anymore. Opinions vary on the need to do so. There are many aftermarket options if you want CNC precision over the Ruger cast receiver. There are also material choices like 6000 series aluminum, 7000 series aluminum, stainless steel, bronze nickel alloy.

Thanks for the link. With Clarkes out too looks like Trivette is the last game in town. I'll reach out to them.

 

If you're looking for a "trued" receiver and are willing to pay someone (if you can find him) to assure that a/your 10/22 receiver is "trued". might I suggest you skip all that extra effort and cost, and just buy a KIDD receiver. You won't be disappointed.

Sure, you get there pretty quick with a 700 too.

Thanks for all the good info, again, new to this world so appreciate the replies.

 

The answer no one is provided customer work and customer receivers or a customer only figure there’s just not enough money in it in the package is hard to be for what you got, but you’re gonna have to do it yourself but wait a few weeks I’m sure someone will try to figure out on how to feed themselves in their family by making $10 or doing jobs. You don’t wanna do it themselves and our little bit where I’m critical of eBay. 8ii

 

total delerium🤩

 

This is not meant to be a abrasive reply but only my opinion from years of fiddling with these things. I wouldn't waste 10 cents on a factory Ruger receiver if you are building one for maximum accuracy. I spent a lot of money over the years to be able to make that statement.

 

The fideling is the fun part. The All Kidd , thanks hump, the amazing part.
But even in my delirium, I was able to build a 1022 from an S&P stripped, stainless receiver with a 16 1/2 inch green Mountain stainless standard that cot 1/3 ofthe al Kdd biuy

 

personally, I would sell off the Ruger receiver, and put that money towards an aftermarket receiver...the Brownells seems to be a good budget starting point..that unlike many Ruger receivers, seems to have everything straight and true

 

The 10/22 is a rabbit hole. If you can be happy buying one and keeping it as it came out of the box, you will likely have a pretty reliable plinker, and if really lucky, a minute-of-squirrel hunter. But if you start “improving” it, there will be a multitude of possibilities among the various components. If, like many of us did, you try most of the options out there (and some are quite good, even very good), over time you will probably find and buy some KIDD components. And, like many of us, stop fooling around and just go with KIDD across the board. It IS the best!

Couldn’t agree more… with one caveat 😎, it’s ok to have a non-Kidd barrel, like, I dunno - Lilja?😂🤦🏼‍♂️
Nah, there are other consistently (that’s where it’s a) good ones besides Kidd and Lilja out there like also (from what I actually own) Proof SS and Clark (just got 2 recently 😎).
But you can’t go wrong with “all Kidd”💪🏻👍😎

 

Yes, there are barrels other than KIDD that are very good. One of my frustrations with KIDD is that they have never offered a sporter contour barrel.

Doug

 

Maybe KIDD would not be able to get a lighter profiled barrel to consistently meet their accuracy guarantee…but that’s just conjecture on my part

 

I’ve always wanted one but no longer have the urge to build another 10/22.

I know what these words mean but I rarely see them used in this order...

I also would never use a Ruger receiver even if they’re $20 to my door.

Clearly his wife was reading over his shoulder as he was typing.

 

GM barrels are darkhorses.

I had a SS, my 1st ever 10/22 build, 16.5” fluted sporter attached to a Feddersen receiver that almost went head to head with my bull KIDDs at 50y using SKPM. The KIDDs certainly had the advantage in heft, but I’m also quite certain that at longer distances the KIDDs would have outperformed the GM sporter; just my feeling.

I swapped that barrel for SKPM ammo during the shortage—no regrets though, it was a very fair barter. Besides, I’m not the type who whines about items I say adieu to unlike some adults who seem to have infantile attachment syndrome.

 

Yes, on the KIDD sporter profile.

I honestly think KIDD barrels are the best-looking shafts, particularly their stainless. Those elaborate flutings are too ostentatious for me though except for the spiral and the one with straight flutes.

I really relish how KIDD does his subtle engraving(s), signature muzzle ring, the overall finish—again, I’m referring to the SS barrels.
