A local FFL has put together a group buy direct from the factory. NOW the wait begins, we have been told 90-120 days. When it gets here I will update with a review report. Some of the things I have heard so far have been promising. http://www.chiappafirearms.com/product/2459

That is with the wood stock, if we went with synthetic stock it would have been $310 cash. * NOTE * At last local gun show, ONLY 2 were available. One of each syn, and wood. Starting price $350 for syn, didn't ask about cost of wood. Last Edited By: fn111557 Feb 29 12 6:35 AM. Edited 1 times.

I've always thought that Ruger should have put out a version of the 10/22 with a military style stock and hardware. I think it would sell a bunch of them to the military style guys. And yes, I think we would all like to hear how it "road tests." "We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately." Benjamin Franklin, July 4 1776

There are companies that offer aftermarket stocks that give the 10-22 a military look. That's probably what your friend has.

Posts: 47 Dec 31 12 10:36 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Range Report . . . ALL SMILES! First hundred rounds through each gun. Fifty rounds with each of the four magazines. Only four “failure to feed” problems, the second or third round on each magazine failed to feed the first time the magazine was used. The temperature was in the low 40’s with no wind, high humidity but no rain. Target distance was 25 yards. For reference I used my Ruger 10/22, ammo was a new bulk box of “Winchester M-22”. Since my Ruger is well seasoned with the M-22 ammo I decided to do a quick season/sighting in of each gun using the silhouette targets first. I started with the M1 carbine, using 6o-clock hold, rear sight set about the middle and elevation at 1 (group A). I increased elevation to 2.5 (group B). Further increase elevation to 3 (group C). STUPID ME! put 3 full turns of right windage (group D). Went back 4 turns of left (group E). Finally 1 more turn of left (group F). Next the M1A1 carbine, using 6o-clock hold, rear sight set about the middle with elevation set at 3 (group A). SMART ME! added 3 full turns “LEFT” windage (group B). Added 1 more turn left, and started holding “center POA” vise “6o-clock” hold (group C). Decreased elevation to 2.5 (group D). Elevation set at 2 (group E). Final elevation at 1 (group F). Continued Below . . .

Posts: 47 Dec 31 12 10:39 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Range Report (cont). . . ALL SMILES! After shooting my Ruger 10/22 at random clay target bits to warm it up (~40 rounds), I shot 10 rounds at the center target of the 2 sample targets. This was just to use as a reference as what the ammo was doing. I then shot 1 10 round magazine at each of the 4 remaining targets in the following order; Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right. The M1 target, using 6o-clock POA hold. After shooting the Top-Left group I added 1 more turn of left windage to the sight before continuing. On the M1A1 targets I remembered to use center POA hold, BUT forgot to reset elevation to 3. Therefore the shot group above the Bottom-Left target was my first group aiming at center of Top-Left. The group IN the Top-Left target was my second group aimed at center POA with the elevation set at 3. Then groups were shot at Top-Right, then Bottom Right. In conclusion I believe these are going to be SO MUCH FUN. I would recommend them to anyone. They do feel like my original GI carbines, and I believe they WILL improve my marksmanship, by providing a cheaper means of practice. I will add more and answer questions as I can, Thanks for reading.
