Must have mods for Ruger 10/22

[KBScobravert]

I own 3 of them, but for some reason I feel I need a takedown model as well.

God bless.

I hate that feeling. I always feel like I need another of something I already have. The Takedown would go well with my 2 others also.

I have an AMT Lightning, basically they AMT knocked the 10/22 off, got sued, and quit production. It's stainless, came with a side fold stock factory, extended mag release, fixed iron sights, machined receiver for 22 scope rings (no mount needed). I run a 6-24 tasco scope, sighted at 100 yards, a stainless mini-14 muzzle break (adds nice look), cheap laser with foregrip switch (sighted @ 40 yards), and this week installed a stainless bolt release, a more extended mag release with textured thumb area, titanium extractor, titanium firing pin, and oversized, skelatonized, titanium charging handle with new guide rod and recoil spring, previously I installed a bolt buffer. I have a couple ruger 25 round mags, several butler creeks, and a couple of eagle 30's (pure junk).

Anyone seen the Bullpup FN P90 conversions for the 10/22? There is a guy on youtube that took an airsoft P90 and gutted it. The 10/22 fits perfectly with the cut of an ejection port door.

or this. I am a HUGE zombie fan, have been for years, and despite other people opinions about the company who made it, i stand by my decision.

looks kind of pregnant.

I went with VQ everything, and also all the things CJ suggested, and it was the best decision I could have made. It ended up costing just under a grand total, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

If your pockets are deep enough, you cant go wrong with VQ gear.

You didn't give those chimps money, did you?

Thats funny! but, we shouldnt insult chimps, they are way more intelligent. Yes, i did give those monkeys money, and i got a stock and poo flung at me, and not necessarily in that order... Im a huge fan of Max Brooks, so i got it. Like i said, i stand by my decision, no matter how dumb it was.

Kidd and VQ both make excellent stuff for the 10/22.

As does Clark Custom, I have one of their trigger sets, it was like $65 total and included everything, hell of a deal.

So bringing this back up to the top as I'm planning on doing some mods to my 10/22 over the holidays and looking over some of the suggestions here. So far I'm planning on upgrading the mag release, auto bolt release, bolt handle, maybe an upgraded stock, and a powered scope of some kind. Besides the normal suppliers like Midway, I saw Kidd Innovative Designs, Clark Custom Guns, and VQ (which I'm assuming is Volquartsen Custom.

I'm looking at this being a fun (cheap) plinker that me and my nephews can shoot and the upgrades I have in mind are to improve the functionality. Any other suggestions you guys can think of? Is it worth upgrading the trigger while doing the above upgrades? Will I see a big difference with an upgraded barrel? I haven't shot it at any significant distance so I have no idea how accurate the stock stuff is but I would like to give it a try at 50-100 yard ranges.
