This  10/22 is built on a Accuracy International receiver with machined picatinny rail to mount optics securely and easily. The bolt is a Pike Arms Honeycomb which comes finished super nice and attractive. Installed a Kidd firing pin, Volquartzen extractor, mix of other premium parts mostly from these two companies. Used a Accuracy International oversize cocking handle and tired several springs from my spring kit to get the feel and tension I wanted for loads will be shooting. Can always respring it down the road once it tells me which ammo it likes the most. It has a Shaw 16" heavy taper spiral fluted barrel with Bentz chamber plus threads for a suppressor under the thread cap held to action with a Pike adjustable v-block. Totally reworked an aftermaket take off trigger housing had from the 10/22 trigger parts box, mix of Kidd and Volquartzen parts, springs from both and Wolffe. Carefully hand fit everything including extended magazine release to a solid 2.0 pound pull, have put three trigger pull gauges on it, one said 1.9 pounds, another 2.0 and the third 2.1 but could not get a stright pull with it because of stocks shape.

CUSTOM ACCURACY INTERNAATIONAL/SHAW BUILD

    Had to relieve the Magpul X-22 stock to get the action to fit then using a combination of aluminum bedding block and Volquartzen bedding kit to hold everything firmly in place. For now it is topped with a ATN 6-18x 56mm scope that gathers light even after sunset if have any ambient light. A full moon and this scope will see, street lights and it will see, has illuminated reticle with bullet drop compensation and wind drift hash marks with a setting for use with night vision. Not had a chance to get it to the range yet and shoot of a bench but off my tripod in back yard at 100 yards it is holding 10 shots into sub 1" groups with any match ammo have tired so far. Parts have arrived for my next two 10/22 builds, one will use a non threaded heavy straight fluted Shaw barrel and the other will be built using a 20" Kidd lightweight full 0.996 straight taper barrel (if I can afford it) that has stainless liner inside of an aluminum outer housing to save weight.
