Changing barrels on a Ruger 10/22

They don't always disassemble easily.
This worked great, I own the same heat gun..

I just bought one from a friend. It came with a cheap red dot and I didn’t think anything about it. When he dropped it off I was surprised to see it didn’t have any sort of front or rear iron sights, not even a space that was notched out for one. I thought about swapping barrels but I’m not even liking the plastic stock. Come to think about it….why TF did I even buy it?!

So you can spend a couple grand on upgrades to make it a decent shooting .22

Depends on your ask but I'd be interested in taking it off your hands

Mine have all been shooters, but I've definitely had fun tweaking them also

Smaw is that barrel threaded? If so, that's why....

….so you can lay it out and pile them deep.

Not sure, I’ll take a closer look.

If it's a threaded barrel, order a suppressor and you're off to the squirrel races. The feds are processing requests much faster than they used to, and every guy should have a suppressor weapon for hunting and zombies.

So I was very happy when I screwed my suppressor on my new barrel and the iron sights were above the suppressor and I found I could shoot with the iron sights, not having to put a scope on.

I was unhappy when I stopped at the range before work, ran a target out to 25 yds, and couldn't see shit with my aging eyes.
Will be mounting a scope tonite.
Fucking Grandpa shit 'n' shit......

Make sure it's a rimfire or has an adjustable focus. I like the vortex diamondback on my ruger 10/22

No such luck
