No competition. M&P15-22 came out and they just threw a collapsible stock on the 10/22. Ruger owns marlin now so I doubt we’ll ever see the model 60 again.
@@curtislynch8189 Shame because I love my Marlin 60SS with black laminate stock. Been in the market for a 357 magnum lever gun but marlins are unobtainium right now and Henry can't seem to meet the demand now that they added a side gate to their lever guns. Every Marlin and Henry I find is over $900+ which is insane when I could've, and should've picked them up for south of $700.
I recently purchased my first 10-22, a tactical model. I was a bit taken aback by how difficult it was to clean. My trigger group pins where beyond snug. This kind of feature is a great workaround for sure.
I prefer blech, and $5 HCL. You're blind, and your pretty gun will need a lot of sanding (It will be useless), and you (the intruder) cannot use your eyes ever again. No cleaning required.
He'll atleast yours where in there..the last 10/22 I bought came with no pins....called ruger and they sent me pins.....the pins they sent are so loose they are like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.....ended up selling it a month later
When I built my 10/22, I drilled holes in the stock to allow the pins to be driven out and the trigger group/bolt to be removed while keeping the action in the stock. I could also still mount a regular scope. That part was nice. Drilled a hole in the back of the receiver for cleaning as well. That gun is a real gem.
@@alanclontz1783 Yeah, I figured that out soon enough. I ended up scrapping the pins and using a section of allthread all the way through. Learned it from the SKS forum. Just what the smithy ordered.
Love my Ruger 10/22. It shoots ever thang and is more accurate than I can see and I use iron sites only. Its good enough for me. As per takedown and cleaning, I find it rather calming and therapeutic. Takes me about a beer and a half or 30 minutes. I'm in no hurry. Its not my home defense rifle. But it could be.
I own several 10/22s as does my Wife and Daughter. One of the other rifles that I own is a clone of the 10/22 Ruger. It was built with s stainless steel receiver and barrel all nicely placed in a factory composite stock. I put a Green Mountain heavy fluted barrel and a Houge over molded stock and a quality scope. It loves Wolf Match ammo and will make ragged holes all day when I do my job. I bought my 8 year old Daughter her first 10/22 for her Birthday recently. We take her to the range and have taught her gun safety and handling. We continue her education both at home and the range. We make her tell us what to do! She of course won’t have possession of it until she is legally allowed to according to the laws of our State, but she already knows its hers and she maintains and feeds it. She will shoot until the ammo runs out if allowed. Because of her early access to firearms and training, firearms are not a mystery or a temptation for her. Truly tragic that other parents don’t train their children in the same way. The tragic incidents of firearms related “accidents” would plummet.

Ruger make very good firearms,my wife has a .22 ruger precision rimfire rifle on a MDT chassi and that is a very accurate and reliable rifle under $900.00 AU.
Great video on this different version of classic 10/22. Actually having several generations of 10/22's from 1.980's , I can notice older versions had much better quality finish, black walnut stocks, better internal parts. Bolts were actually (seemingly) machined from steel billets, receivers made from (apparently) better alloys, as well as trigger groups. Later models, I've noticed bolts are cast units, not.so.well machined, more (cheap) MIM parts, beech stocks and plastic trigger group housings. Several years ago, I was able to purchase couple stainless receivers which I fitted mostly with custom made parts, assembled / fitted for (informal) competitive shooting. One bears a Volquartsen fluted bbl, the other a less expensive Green Mountain heavier / also fluted bbl. Both include hand fitted Power Custom trigger groups. Green Mountain vs Volquartsen, accuracy is basically the same. Both bolts are billet- machined + Volquartsen extractors. NO ftf, fte. Very reliable & accurate.
My Dad bought me the nickel plated 10/22 for my 16th birthday in 1986, It finally started jamming in 2019 so I was forced to clean it😁 definitely a great gun to have in your arsenal.
I had been looking at 10/22's for years, then after the patent dropped I started seeing more options which made me happy I waited so long. I ended up buying a Bergara BXR, mounted a red dot and a suppressor on it. Pretty much all you have to do with it, excellent factory trigger, good barrel and a semi match chamber.
I recently picked up a Winchester wildcat which uses the Ruger 10/22 mags and has a easy take down on the back of the gun. Some of these gun companies need to think about upgrading their guns to add features people want.

Hate it when someone steals your firearms. It's not just about the money, but also about the emotional connection you share with that gun, the sweet memories you make while shooting it.
Jacob ~where I live by all firearms have to be locked up and screwed to wall studs. Did you have yours locked up before it was stolen, did the thieves break the locks.?
@@royjohnson465 Thanks for your inquiry Roy. All of our guns were in a gun case, but not a safe. It had a lock on it, but it also had windows and was primarily just decorative.

Fiddling with the take down screw is a good thing to check if you are looking to tune your rifle to a certain load. But yes, it's also a pain. I made up a card for my rifles, and I use a torque screw driver each time. But even though I usually shoot with a can, I don't disassemble them much. I'm more likely to just squirt some Gun Scrubber into the action occasionally. And I run a bore snake through them every now and then. You don't really need to run a cleaning rod through most 22 rimfire rifles.
Man this looks like an awesome design! You’d think Ruger would have made a newer updated version of the 10/22 lineup by now. I’m trying to figure out something to upgrade my standard 10/22 that I’ve had since I was a kid. I really like the Desert Tech Trek 22 bullpup kit, and now I’m considering this as an option, too. Great content as always, much love from Texas!
WRONG!! This open Top Receiver was invented and patended of an Austrian Gunsmith. you can find him on youtube under the name homegunsmithunger. Its no an american invention
@@iznogudsurfer5911 I know him, because he is me :D Thank you for your comment, it was indeed invented by myself but without Fletcher Rifle Works it wouldn‘t be available in the USA. They are doing a great job in producing it in a high quality accoring to the specs so customers are superhappy with it. I am very thankful that they gave it a try :)
Quick and simple I like . I have the standard 10/22 & the ruger 10/22 charger. Thankfully never had any issues but a no feed once in a blue moon even with ruger mags.
For all of you folks griping about cleaning a 10/22, go buy a new Browning buckmark pistol and read that manual. It clearly states that you can only pull the bolt back and lock it in place and clean only what you can reach. Any further breakdown by anyone not certified to do so voids any warranty.
@PLINKSTER ON TELEGRAM so which is it?I been reading comments about wildcat,Remington,Ruger,this new gun,and others.which one do you think if you were to buy one now,would you get?last question,which guns are the that are similar to the 10 22 that shoot the 22magnum....or the 17 ccal
I always preferred my Marlin model 60 over any 10/22 ever made. Just my personal preference, great video on this new .22 I can always appreciate a decent smaller firearm. I just target shoot and don’t hunt squirrels or rabbits anymore
Ehh its not so bad in a rifle youd be surprised when you fire it. Its never going to be a hunting gun for me but for target shooting and home defense its not a bad option plus it takes glock mags so i have hundreds of cheap mag options plus it breaks down and fits in my backpack so i can take it when im riding my bike out to the desert without looking like a mad max extra.
@@schwarzesonne6529 I wouldn’t mind anything chambered in .357 Mag that’s my preferred caliber because I know for a fact it’s a proven man stopper and anything else on the North American continent
I picked up my only 10/22 a few+ years ago cheap at Academy. At least 500 rounds through it. The basic blued barrel/receiver & wood stock is/was enough for me, but GEEZ, you can flush some budget on these things. Haha
You lost me at love of the 10/22, of which I've had 4, and all stunk. Now your Fletcher, it looks like it will actually run without jamming or sticking. Looking at the cleaning of it reminds me a Win Wildcat, quick simple, and dang, actually runs.
@PLINKSTER ON TELEGRAM you’re a terrible person to spam using the channel’s name. I am keeping it clean here, but I’d like to use some choice words for you. For now, while I pray for your soul, I hope you have some really bad luck and get a taste of punishment in this life .
This looks pretty good. I didn't really care for the Ruger, never looked right to me in its default configuration, but this I like. Although, I would swap that brace, it just looks weird.
I’m not too familiar with building and mechanically customizing firearms so when you showed the field disassembly I really thought it was different internals only because I can’t imagine why Ruger didn’t make that change themselves if it’s that simple of a design change
Unpopular opinion. The 10/22 is not the best semi ever made. If it weren't for the mags and easy barrel change it would be junk. The Marlin 60 is a much better design. And out of the box, far more accurate. The best part of the 10/22 is the fact that you can through away all the Ruger crap and replace it all fairly easily.
@@bafumat have you ever taken apart a model 60? They're near impossible to put back together, also if you accidentally trip and fall on it you're going to damage the receiver where the pin goes in and permanently destroy the rifle. The 10/22 is a vastly superior design. I like the model 60, but I don't like the facts I mentioned about it. Edit: I will add that the 10/22 definitely isn't the best semi auto ever, but I do agree that it's the best semi auto 22lr rifle ever designed.
@@lumpyzx2645 I own both. My 60 is thirty five years old and is a better gun that the Ruger. I will guarantee breaking the receiver is just as bad for the Ruger as it is the Marlin. Try picking up your feet when you walk. The Marlin is far easier to maintain and they both last about as long between cleanings. If it weren't for the vast aftermarket, my Rugers whould have been sold by now.
@@sjagain True. I didnt say it in my original comment, doing it solo would be a hell of a task, plinkster has a lot of resources available I would have to imagine. What I was trying to get at, is that he can work on designs and what he wants laid out, and work with whoever to build one up.
Considering the viability, longevity and success of the 10/22 it never made sense that ruger has never released a 10/22magnum, I think it would be just about the sweetest thing out there.
my dad back in the late 80's early 90s had this cool bullpup conversion stock for his 10/22, the only down side was how often them old 80's 30 round mags for the 10/22 would jam
WOW 😲 looks like a great little set up there, so easy to stick in a backpack and carry anywhere, love the stock looks like a quality item and very accurate from what you showed us,nice one man liked the Matt dubber video too good to see you mixing with the airgun crowd man. Power to you from England wish I was there,atvb Dave
Our Remington Nylon 66 went 40 years before it was cleaned, and I only did it because I wanted to get the rust off of it, re-blue, and give it some love for once... It had been treated like a stolen gun for 4 decades. I don't even want to know how many tens of thousands of rounds went through it without any issues. But the 10/22 is the best rifle ever made? Even if your basis for giving a gun that label was the modularity and the configurability, surely the AR-15 would take that title... The 10/22 is probably the most configurable and prolific 22 caliber rifle ever made, and it's definitely in the top 5, if not top 3 best 22 rifles ever made. But I've seen them malfunction when they don't even look that bad. I know it's only a sample set of one, but I've never seen another 22 rifle that you can get from behind the door of a bathroom, looking like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and have 100% reliability every single time... I don't understand it because the barrel never even got cleaned in that time either, and yet its always been accurate.
I have a Marlin model 60 that my parents gave me in 85. Because it is so reliable and accurate, I never bought a 10/22. Many times I wanted one for it’s compact size and removable magazine.
This disassembly would be realy nice for someone like me in Norway who legaly has to remove and store the bolt in a gun locker when not in use. The way I have to do it now on my 10/22 is so annoying
The fact that the Ruger 10/22's basic teardown and maintenance can throw off your zero is absolutely insane. Why hasn't Ruger changed that design? I'd think a nice detented locking lug would be a great solution (don't know a better way to describe what I'm visualizing but it works in my head) instead of needing a calibrated torque wrench on hand.
The whole concept of a stock/chassis and receiver that need to be screwed together is an extremely old-fashioned idea, and it's slowly going away. Look at the AR15 and everything else vaguely like it, the Q Fix, and the Sig Cross, for examples of what guns will look like in the future. Unified receivers are the future. It's not that the 10/22 needs to be updated, but that its core architecture is rooted in hopelessly antiquated design concepts, and the entire thing is long overdue for replacement on the market.
@@johndaniels1197 but I can see a way in my head right now that you could make it work without needing that screw. It might not work with chassis that predate it, but those older chassis could be easily altered with a special washer to take the updated design. We don't need to throw the whole baby out with the bathwater, it seems there could be a simple fix for this if Ruger would just do it.
@@johndaniels1197 or even better, simpler fix would be to do what older military rifles did and make the bolt part of the sling mount system. Then there's a definite correct amount to screw it in, when the eyelet is perpendicular to the chassis and feels snug, you stop. That's an even easier fix that doesn't change the design but makes it so you at least are consistent and screw it in the same amount every time.
No. Even after all of whatever that is that you said that compelled you to tag me twice, the rear end of the receiver is still closed so you still can't clean the bore from the breech with a rod on a normal 10/22. You're talking about this like there's only one major flaw in that design that you know about, and there are lots more. It's an antiquated design.
@@johndaniels1197 I agree. But I'm just talking about disassembly requiring you to re-zero. The other stuff is a different matter I wasn't really talking about, though I think those would be much bigger changes to make.
One thing I'm annoyed about is since Ruger's acquisition of Marlin firearms, the a holes now own the two best selling rifles in US history, but they are only producing the 10/22. If I were the heads at Ruger I'd produce both and double my sales
It's always great to see new innovations, but I've never been interested in the 10/22 even though I do have rugers of other calibers handgun and rifle. But like you said that thing runs pretty good and it does make cleaning a lot easier. Great video. .
This looks like a lot of fun. I love the exploding targets! I'm not familiar with Fletcher, but it seems to be reliable. After looking at the website, which package is this? I thought it might be the Bandera pistol. Other than the match rifle, I don't see the pistol you have. Was this scratch built? Which suppressor do you have on this pistol?
It's nice but unless they come out with a 22 magnum version with 25 round magazines I really don't want it. More companies need to be coming out with the 17 HMR and 22 magnum high capacity magazines and rifles
@@randymagnum143 yes you absolutely can but there are people in Canada in the UK and as a matter of fact I think in California who can't have a semi-automatic centerfire rifle but they can have rimfire semiautomatics. Also people who are very concussion shy can shoot 22 magnum a lot better and in a lighter package opening up the potential user base to a wider margin of people. Arm everyone.
@@guntotingnerd8830 the best .22 magnum I've ever shot was a heavy barreled Marlin in a laminated stock. It would drive tacks. I've never seen a semi auto. 22 mag that would run reliably with different ammo. I'd like to see someone develop one. More options are always good.
I bought a unfinished silencer . 2 weeks later 9 atf, trooper, cops showed up at my house to inspect my silencer. I surrendered it to them. They watch social media
Only reason I haven't bought a 10/22 is because of the cleaning and disassembly difficulty. It's why I've gone to the sig p322, 22/45, and dedicated 22lr ar uppers instead.
My first new 22 rifle was a Ruger 10/22 at the time it was $120 honestly I never took it apart and I never cleaned it that was 45 years ago.. only jammed when I started using aftermarket magazines when I went back to the original Ruger no problem at all
I bought my wife a 10/22 takedown a few years ago. After I built her 2 ARs the poor thing has been in the safe for the past 3 years. I've been thinking about buying a new furniture set and make it tacti-cool but this 11/22 is pretty sweet
@@silvermediastudio cool but I've been wanting to play Legos with the 10/22. And how much do those other options run? And better as in reliability or accuracy or both?
I remember when the design started floating around in the 3d printing community a few years ago. Cool that a goofball idea from a forum made it into a real product.
The fact that Ruger hasn’t updated the 10/22 so it can be easily disassembled and cleaned like this blows my mind.
Yeah, kinda strange considering they did that with their Mk. 4 pistol. Missed opportunity on Ruger's part.
No competition. M&P15-22 came out and they just threw a collapsible stock on the 10/22. Ruger owns marlin now so I doubt we’ll ever see the model 60 again.

Thank you for your comment, it was indeed invented by myself but without Fletcher Rifle Works it wouldn‘t be available in the USA. They are doing a great job in producing it in a high quality accoring to the specs so customers are superhappy with it. I am very thankful that they gave it a try :)
@@iznogudsurfer5911 🤡🤡🤡 look who youre replying to first...
Thank you for your inventive design. I wish you the best!
It's like a 10 22 that goes to 11.
That is amazing I love the top opening access. That would just make it so easy to clean and take care of. Wow!
It’s kinda like an AK-47/74 or SKS,but ya can’t really put accurate scopes on those rifles either…😂
Quick and simple I like . I have the standard 10/22 & the ruger 10/22 charger. Thankfully never had any issues but a no feed once in a blue moon even with ruger mags.
gotta be the sexiest 22 setup ive ever seen
Love the concept. Fletcher told me they're working on a take-down receiver with the same open top feature.
Ive owned many 10/22s. I have a nice older one, and a new take down version now. They're extremely accurate and reliable. Wood stock for me 👍
For all of you folks griping about cleaning a 10/22, go buy a new Browning buckmark pistol and read that manual. It clearly states that you can only pull the bolt back and lock it in place and clean only what you can reach. Any further breakdown by anyone not certified to do so voids any warranty.
@PLINKSTER ON TELEGRAM so which is it?I been reading comments about wildcat,Remington,Ruger,this new gun,and others.which one do you think if you were to buy one now,would you get?last question,which guns are the that are similar to the 10 22 that shoot the 22magnum....or the 17 ccal
better to ask for forgivness than permission.
I always preferred my Marlin model 60 over any 10/22 ever made. Just my personal preference, great video on this new .22 I can always appreciate a decent smaller firearm. I just target shoot and don’t hunt squirrels or rabbits anymore
Its not a 22 but have you shot the pc9 that thing is amazing
@@schwarzesonne6529 if you’re talking about a garbage 9mm please save you’re breath I literally hate that caliber
Ehh its not so bad in a rifle youd be surprised when you fire it. Its never going to be a hunting gun for me but for target shooting and home defense its not a bad option plus it takes glock mags so i have hundreds of cheap mag options plus it breaks down and fits in my backpack so i can take it when im riding my bike out to the desert without looking like a mad max extra.
@@schwarzesonne6529 I wouldn’t mind anything chambered in .357 Mag that’s my preferred caliber because I know for a fact it’s a proven man stopper and anything else on the North American continent
I built a handmade bullpup stock for the marlin 60 so my daughter could actually wield the gun.. cant find any buyers for my stock.
Ooh, that's pretty cool. Now Fletcher needs to do a PC Carbine one.
No.
Very nice thank you for showing it on you tube have a good night 🙂
Dear Santa,
I picked up my only 10/22 a few+ years ago cheap at Academy. At least 500 rounds through it.
The basic blued barrel/receiver & wood stock is/was enough for me, but GEEZ, you can flush some budget on these things. Haha
Great video of a great product. Well thought out update to an already really good rifle. Fletcher Rifle Works - good stuff! (Great design, Mr. Unger!)
thanks a lot!!
You lost me at love of the 10/22, of which I've had 4, and all stunk. Now your Fletcher, it looks like it will actually run without jamming or sticking. Looking at the cleaning of it reminds me a Win Wildcat, quick simple, and dang, actually runs.
Finally somebody endorsing his design I been watching his TH-cam channel for quite some time. I was very impressed with it from day 1
thank you very much!
@@homegunsmithunger598 your very welcome I’m glad to see someone finally gave your design the attention it deserves
I've always wanted a side folding back pack 10/22 with a suppressor
Perfect gun for small game camping
Thank you for this great review and overview of the Fletcher 11/22.
@PLINKSTER ON TELEGRAM you’re a terrible person to spam using the channel’s name. I am keeping it clean here, but I’d like to use some choice words for you. For now, while I pray for your soul, I hope you have some really bad luck and get a taste of punishment in this life .
What a nice shooting gallery !
Squirrels 🐿 in this man’s yard en masse moving to another forest
That’s the neatest thing since sliced bread.👍🏻
This looks pretty good. I didn't really care for the Ruger, never looked right to me in its default configuration, but this I like. Although, I would swap that brace, it just looks weird.
Dude I need that setup for musical steel. That is beautiful.
Really like the modular concept, now hopefully they come out with a .22 mag version to go with this one, thx for the vid
The problem with that is… people buy guns for the caliber usually. No one uses a 22 mag. 22 LR is the pee shooter everyone uses.
@@michaelgentry1921 Ah wrong, alot of us shoot .22 mag for different reasons
@@williammccaslin8527 is it available in a dramatic ammo shortage tho

The Ruger 10/22 is the Glock / AR of the .22LR rifle world. They are AWESOME!!!
I’m not too familiar with building and mechanically customizing firearms so when you showed the field disassembly I really thought it was different internals only because I can’t imagine why Ruger didn’t make that change themselves if it’s that simple of a design change
That’s a cool ass gun, nice update for the 10/22
The 10/22 is the best semi-auto rifle ever made, and this modification fixes the reason it sucks so bad.
Unpopular opinion. The 10/22 is not the best semi ever made. If it weren't for the mags and easy barrel change it would be junk. The Marlin 60 is a much better design. And out of the box, far more accurate. The best part of the 10/22 is the fact that you can through away all the Ruger crap and replace it all fairly easily.
I agree with bafumat completely
@@bafumat have you ever taken apart a model 60? They're near impossible to put back together, also if you accidentally trip and fall on it you're going to damage the receiver where the pin goes in and permanently destroy the rifle. The 10/22 is a vastly superior design. I like the model 60, but I don't like the facts I mentioned about it.
Edit: I will add that the 10/22 definitely isn't the best semi auto ever, but I do agree that it's the best semi auto 22lr rifle ever designed.
** AR-15 has entered the chat **
@@lumpyzx2645 I own both. My 60 is thirty five years old and is a better gun that the Ruger. I will guarantee breaking the receiver is just as bad for the Ruger as it is the Marlin. Try picking up your feet when you walk. The Marlin is far easier to maintain and they both last about as long between cleanings. If it weren't for the vast aftermarket, my Rugers whould have been sold by now.
... if it don't rock n roll , it's just another .22
I am amazed you haven't designed your own .22. I feel like it really wouldn't be anything too difficult to come up with a really cool design.
Doug Donnelly tried with the 22LR ZIP GUN. There's a video of it on this channel. Designing a gun isn't as easy as you might think.
@@sjagain True. I didnt say it in my original comment, doing it solo would be a hell of a task, plinkster has a lot of resources available I would have to imagine. What I was trying to get at, is that he can work on designs and what he wants laid out, and work with whoever to build one up.
I love my Fletcher. I need to get his carbon fiber barrel.
Considering the viability, longevity and success of the 10/22 it never made sense that ruger has never released a 10/22magnum, I think it would be just about the sweetest thing out there.
Agreed. In take down with monolithic fore end.
Ruger did make a 10/22 magnum for a short period of time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_10/22
Some say they could develop feeding issues in a semi auto…
I disagree, I have an old Marling in .22 mag. It runs flawlessly.
Ruger stopped innovating in the early 1970s.
Ruger 100% made a 10-22Mag
I remember seeing a stainless one when I bought my 10-22 Carbine.
And they also make or made a .17 it was 10-17
Saw a printed version of this about a year ago. Glad this is actually happening
I know what I want for Christmas now.. Thanks man.
my dad back in the late 80's early 90s had this cool bullpup conversion stock for his 10/22, the only down side was how often them old 80's 30 round mags for the 10/22 would jam
WOW 😲 looks like a great little set up there, so easy to stick in a backpack and carry anywhere, love the stock looks like a quality item and very accurate from what you showed us,nice one man liked the Matt dubber video too good to see you mixing with the airgun crowd man. Power to you from England wish I was there,atvb Dave
The musical steal is just crispy i love it
Our Remington Nylon 66 went 40 years before it was cleaned, and I only did it because I wanted to get the rust off of it, re-blue, and give it some love for once...
It had been treated like a stolen gun for 4 decades.
I don't even want to know how many tens of thousands of rounds went through it without any issues.
But the 10/22 is the best rifle ever made?
Even if your basis for giving a gun that label was the modularity and the configurability, surely the AR-15 would take that title...
The 10/22 is probably the most configurable and prolific 22 caliber rifle ever made, and it's definitely in the top 5, if not top 3 best 22 rifles ever made.
But I've seen them malfunction when they don't even look that bad.
I know it's only a sample set of one, but I've never seen another 22 rifle that you can get from behind the door of a bathroom, looking like the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and have 100% reliability every single time...
I don't understand it because the barrel never even got cleaned in that time either, and yet its always been accurate.
Congratulations, go eff yourself spambot!
Fabulous video . Your knowledge is evident . Love the action on this weapon . Will look into one . Thanks for the assist
Love your quick trigger and the explosions; I may have said this before
Interested in this exact build.
Can you post links to your parts list in your description?
I have always been partial to the Marlin Model 60. My friends all have the 10/22.
I would have seen the Marlin model 60 would have to be number one or number two
The model 60 is definitely more reliable but doesn’t except magazines
I have a Marlin model 60 that my parents gave me in 85. Because it is so reliable and accurate, I never bought a 10/22. Many times I wanted one for it’s compact size and removable magazine.
how much was it?
This disassembly would be realy nice for someone like me in Norway who legaly has to remove and store the bolt in a gun locker when not in use. The way I have to do it now on my 10/22 is so annoying
The great part is you don't think "I just spent $1 taking that shot" after shooting a .22LR.
I was playing with 357 Sig for a little bit recently lol.
What’s funny is I had my Ruger built just like that.
The fact that the Ruger 10/22's basic teardown and maintenance can throw off your zero is absolutely insane. Why hasn't Ruger changed that design? I'd think a nice detented locking lug would be a great solution (don't know a better way to describe what I'm visualizing but it works in my head) instead of needing a calibrated torque wrench on hand.
The whole concept of a stock/chassis and receiver that need to be screwed together is an extremely old-fashioned idea, and it's slowly going away. Look at the AR15 and everything else vaguely like it, the Q Fix, and the Sig Cross, for examples of what guns will look like in the future. Unified receivers are the future. It's not that the 10/22 needs to be updated, but that its core architecture is rooted in hopelessly antiquated design concepts, and the entire thing is long overdue for replacement on the market.
@@johndaniels1197 but I can see a way in my head right now that you could make it work without needing that screw. It might not work with chassis that predate it, but those older chassis could be easily altered with a special washer to take the updated design. We don't need to throw the whole baby out with the bathwater, it seems there could be a simple fix for this if Ruger would just do it.
@@johndaniels1197 or even better, simpler fix would be to do what older military rifles did and make the bolt part of the sling mount system. Then there's a definite correct amount to screw it in, when the eyelet is perpendicular to the chassis and feels snug, you stop. That's an even easier fix that doesn't change the design but makes it so you at least are consistent and screw it in the same amount every time.
No. Even after all of whatever that is that you said that compelled you to tag me twice, the rear end of the receiver is still closed so you still can't clean the bore from the breech with a rod on a normal 10/22.
You're talking about this like there's only one major flaw in that design that you know about, and there are lots more. It's an antiquated design.
@@johndaniels1197 I agree. But I'm just talking about disassembly requiring you to re-zero. The other stuff is a different matter I wasn't really talking about, though I think those would be much bigger changes to make.
Sweet blaster you have there Plinkster 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
One thing I'm annoyed about is since Ruger's acquisition of Marlin firearms, the a holes now own the two best selling rifles in US history, but they are only producing the 10/22. If I were the heads at Ruger I'd produce both and double my sales
They already said the marlin model 60 will be continued
It's always great to see new innovations, but I've never been interested in the 10/22 even though I do have rugers of other calibers handgun and rifle. But like you said that thing runs pretty good and it does make cleaning a lot easier. Great video.
.
This looks like a lot of fun. I love the exploding targets! I'm not familiar with Fletcher, but it seems to be reliable. After looking at the website, which package is this? I thought it might be the Bandera pistol. Other than the match rifle, I don't see the pistol you have. Was this scratch built? Which suppressor do you have on this pistol?
I love my 10/22 but its the only gun I own that I do not enjoy cleaning. I would love a 11/22. It would make maintenance way easier.
It's nice but unless they come out with a 22 magnum version with 25 round magazines I really don't want it. More companies need to be coming out with the 17 HMR and 22 magnum high capacity magazines and rifles
Why? I can shoot 5.56 for less $$$
@@randymagnum143 yes you absolutely can but there are people in Canada in the UK and as a matter of fact I think in California who can't have a semi-automatic centerfire rifle but they can have rimfire semiautomatics. Also people who are very concussion shy can shoot 22 magnum a lot better and in a lighter package opening up the potential user base to a wider margin of people. Arm everyone.
@@guntotingnerd8830 the best .22 magnum I've ever shot was a heavy barreled Marlin in a laminated stock. It would drive tacks. I've never seen a semi auto. 22 mag that would run reliably with different ammo. I'd like to see someone develop one. More options are always good.
Bro you did musical plates!? epic..
I bought a unfinished silencer . 2 weeks later 9 atf, trooper, cops showed up at my house to inspect my silencer. I surrendered it to them. They watch social media
Should've pumped them full of lead
Not over 13.00 dollars
a real winner for speed steel
Excellent innovation, but not worth the price of admission at 4x the cost of a Ruger 10/22.
I think it's worth it if you shoot suppressed, and shoot it often
@@ItsBiscoitoIndeed Makes sense!
Looks like the original “the jackel” movie prop
0:05 - I sincerely thought a Hickok45 video was playing. That delightful "hooo" in excitement.
Had a 1022 that was accurate to 1 MOA with Remington LR. Probably a freak but it was. Loved plinking with that one. This is a wonderful improvement.
The musical plates at the beginning have scratched an itch in a very particular part of my brain, thank you! (Serious, not a joke)
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
its such a rinkydink gun, looks so much fun
Only reason I haven't bought a 10/22 is because of the cleaning and disassembly difficulty.
It's why I've gone to the sig p322, 22/45, and dedicated 22lr ar uppers instead.
My first new 22 rifle was a Ruger 10/22 at the time it was $120 honestly I never took it apart and I never cleaned it that was 45 years ago.. only jammed when I started using aftermarket magazines when I went back to the original Ruger no problem at all
this gun made me smile
"Eleven. That's one more than ten ennit?"
Spinal Tap joke aside, that looks like a nice little rifle.
Excellent that receiver,great.
Great. Thanks. Now I want another .22.
That’s going to be called TO MUCH FUN!!! 😊👍👍
Cool video! I always liked the 10/22 as well,.I got a fluted barrel for one of them,but I believe my Grandpa had a1917 in WW1.
I bought my wife a 10/22 takedown a few years ago. After I built her 2 ARs the poor thing has been in the safe for the past 3 years. I've been thinking about buying a new furniture set and make it tacti-cool but this 11/22 is pretty sweet
So many better .22 rifles out there.. from a Kidd Custom to a VooDoo to many others both semi and bolt.
@@silvermediastudio cool but I've been wanting to play Legos with the 10/22. And how much do those other options run? And better as in reliability or accuracy or both?
I remember when the design started floating around in the 3d printing community a few years ago. Cool that a goofball idea from a forum made it into a real product.
I'm glad this was suggested to me. I used to be subscribed until sometime recently. Fing TH-cam.
I've enjoyed my S&W Victory. Good purchase. The Ruger LCP 22. as well. 🧃🙂
With the 25rd mag that thing is bad ASS!
Loved the music you created at the beginning...
