Anyone know of any threads on here for folks interested in making the std 10/22 stock more kid-friendly?

Shortening the stock, light reprofiling in strategic areas?

Thanks!

I cut down a synthetic stock a couple of inches for my son, it was easy enough to do with a chop saw. I took an inch off at the barrel band point. Cutting the butt short but leaving the long forend looks odd to me.

OK, thanks.

Mine's wood (probably birch) with metal butt-plate, so I'd probably have to trim down the butt-plate as well.

You think any other mods are in order? Thinning out the grip area, stuff like that? Or just shorten the LOP and call it good?

what I did to one when the kids were learning was to make a stock with an english style straight wrist, so they could choke up on it to reach the trigger better, and used a shorter Compact barrel to lessen the weight

I rebarreld with a TacSol ultralight barrel and cut about 3" of stock on and put on a 1" non-slip buttpad (ok, I used a flip flop....)

Short, light, easy to handle.

Nice. Looks like you modified an OEM stock? Or did you MAKE "make" the stock from a blank?

I am also planning on improving the iron sights like you did.

just modded a Carbine birch/beech stock, and those are the Williams Firesights that come installed on the factory 16.1" Compact barrels..Ruger sells them for $20 a set
