Tactical Solutions X-Ring .22LR
Last week I got to handle a Tactical Solutions X-Ring .22. The Tactical Solutions X-Ring is essentially a CUSTOM RUGER 10/22
The rifles consist of a Tactical Solutions Predator Stock, Tactical Solutions X-Ring Receiver and Tactical Solutions X-Ring Barrel. The rifle was manufactured and assembled with perfection and the entire setup is light as a feather.

A forum member of Tactical22.net posted this link.
Heres a description from the author:
It is easy to make the bolt stop on the 10/22 hold the bolt back, but it is a pain to make it let the bolt go forward again. This simple fix will make it much easier to release the bolt, just tug back and let it go!

Lightweight, aluminum replacement for factory barrel gives you the advantages of a short barrel, while the permanently attached muzzle shroud keeps the barrel length legal—no NFA transfer paperwork to worry about. Your flash suppressor with standard ½”-28 threads actually screws to the barrel inside the shroud, so it adds nothing to the barrel’s 16½” overall length. Machined from billet aluminum, with a .920″ O.D. and a chrome-moly steel bore liner to provide the rigidity and heat-transfer benefits of a bull barrel without the weight penalty. Oversized shank helps ensure a secure fit to almost any 10/22 receiver.

SPECS: 6061 T6 aluminum, hardcoat anodized, matte black. Chrome-moly steel liner with 1-16″ twist rifling. 16½” (42cm ) O.A.L. including shroud, 12¼” (31.1cm) bore length, .920″ (2.3cm) O.D. Accepts muzzle accessories with ½”-28 tpi threads. Installation instructions included.

You need to lay your Ruger 10/22 on some sort of mat to protect the rifle while service it, so why not use a mat that’s also an exploded view and parts list.

Manufacturers Description:
This isn’t your ordinary gun cleaning mat! Show your pride for your weapon while using this high quality neoprene rubber backed and cloth top gun cleaning mat to protect your gun bench, desk, kitchen table, or whatever surface you usually clean or maintain your gun on. You likely keep your gun in a soft padded case or maybe a gun cabinet with a felt lined rack or something similar to protect it so why would you scratch your gun while cleaning or repairing it by setting it on a hard surface that could easily scratch your firearm?
PROTECT YOUR GUN AND WORK AREA
The soft polyester top will ensure your gun doesn’t get scratched while the neoprene rubber backing on the mat will keep everything in place and prevent your work surface from sliding around. This mat will also keep harmful chemicals, oil and dirt from penetrating down to your desk, bench or the area where you normally clean and work on your firearms. After the mat begins to accumulate too much dirt, chemicals, or oil just throw it in the wash on a gentle cycle, allow to air dry and it will be virtually like new.
ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL
With the exploded view drawings and accompanying parts list, making repairs, disassembling your firearm, or basic cleaning can be done much faster and with greater enjoyment. Guns are extremely fascinating and the drawings and data that is printed on each mat will keep you entertained while educating you on how your firearm operates.
DIMENSION
This gun cleaning and parts mat measures 12 inches by 36 inches and is 1/8 of an inch thick.
PRODUCT DETAILS
This is made specifically for the Ruger 10/22 standard models but will also be very similar to all of the Ruger 10/22 varients as well as other rifles that take the .22 lr cartridge and are similar in design to the Ruger 10/22.

Oct 7, 2010 | Ruger 10/22 Charging Handle

RUGER 10/22 EXTENDED CHARGING HANDLE

Case hardened, ground carbon steel guide pin provides exceptional strength for smooth cycling and improved feeding without bending or flexing. Includes fully assembled charging handle, guide pin, and extra power spring. Drop-in installation.
Oct 2, 2010 | Ruger 10/22 Magazine
Drop-in bolt stop stops forward travel of bolt when magazine is empty, ending the need to count shots; eliminates dry fires when the mag is empty. Replaces the factory bolt lock mechanism. Magazines are 10 round capacity with a rotary design and are constructed of high-impact plastic and steel. Important: Only use CST magazines with the bolt stop. Failure to do so may result in damage and accidental discharge. Works with most aftermarket products including mag latches, triggers, sears, hammers, etc. Kit comes with auto bolt stop and 10 round magazine.

If Blackdog Machine makes it you know it’s top notch.

Extra-tough, polymer magazines are self-lubricating and hold 25 rounds of .22LR ammo. Constant force spring provides uniform feeding and smooth loading. Two alternating, interlocking notches make it easy to click two or three mags together for fast reloads and increased shooting time. Available with separately molded, Polymer feed lips or Stainless Steel (SS) feed lips for optimum performance.

Durable, clear polymer 10/22 magazine holds fifty rounds of .22 long rifle ammunition. Steel feed lips provide years of reliable service. Rotating, coiled spring effectively feeds rounds on a rubber track system. Transparent body has numbers from 10 through 45 molded around the magazine: allows you to know exactly how many rounds you have left. Cover is removable for easy cleaning, and the unique tear drop shape fits comfortably in your hand for fast mag changes.

High capacity, 25-round magazine will wear for a lifetime because it is built from superior materials to never fail. Body halves are fully machined from a block of aluminum billet for superior strength, then secured with steel, socket head hex screws at three locations. Molded polymer follower and steel feed lips and center pin simply wont fail under the roughest use, even after many thousands of rounds. Magazine body can be completely disassembled for thorough cleaning. Hard-coat anodized finish prevents corrosion.

Easy-to-install kit gives your Ruger 10/22 the instantly recognizable appearance and handling of the classic, 1920-30’s submachine gun. For a fraction of the cost of an original, you can shoot a look-alike using plentiful .22 LR ammunition without putting wear on a historic heirloom. Kit includes all mounting hardware and tools, no gunsmithing required. Simply remove the 10/22’s barreled action from the factory stock, stake the two cross-pins in the trigger group, and install the kit components following the step-by-step instructions. The action fits securely into the kit’s precision-machined, billet aluminum chassis-no drilling or permanent alterations to the action are required, so you can return it to the original stock at any time. Like the original-production model, the kit’s three-piece stock is cut from high-quality, walnut with an attractive oil finish. Includes the rectangular, windage-adjustable rear peep sight of the early civilian subgun, and a clamp-on muzzle tip that slides around the factory front sight and replicates the profile of the original Cutts compensator. All the metal parts have a durable, semi-gloss blue-black powder coat finish. Kit available alone or with Pro-Mag 50-round drum magazine that lets you send plenty of rounds downrange between reloads and completes the iconic look of the Prohibition Era guns famous from movies and historic photographs. (Factory 10/22 magazines still work, too.) SPECS: Aluminum, powder coat finish, black, semi-gloss; walnut, matte finish. Kit includes receiver chassis, buttstock, pistol grip, forend grip, muzzle tip, front grip bracket, mounting hardware, and instructions. Available with or without Pro-Mag 50-round drum magazine. Spare magazines available separately.

So you bought some of these cool 10/22 magazines. Why not make the magazine changes a little quicker with Brownells Ruger 10/22 Extended Magazine Release lever.

This is pretty interesting. It connects three Ruger 10/22 Magazines together Click here for info. A possible solution to shooters facing magazine capacity issues.

This is probably what sets the 10/22 apart from other .22 semi-auto rifles. You can go from mild to wild with bolt on ease. Traditional shooters my be content either upgrading to a synthetic or fancy laminated stock along the lines of the factory unit. However in my opinion the fun starts when you select a thumbhole or a competition oriented stock. Additionally there’s hardware to turn your 10/22 into a bullpup or something resembling an AR-15. Easy justification for owning more then one of these fine rifles. Below you’ll see some a random sampling from the inexpensive Hogue to the top of the line Bell & Carlson or FA Enterprises. If your interested in getting a 10/22 for a youth there is also a suitable stock for that purpose. Lastly before you head out and spend more on a stock then the guns purchase price be sure to see if one of Ruger’s 34 models doesn’t already suit your needs. Of course where’s the fun in that.
One thing to keep in mind when picking a new stock. Know the dimensions of your barrel or the barrel you intend to use so your sure to get one that fits properly. A standard barrel will look silly in a stock meant for a heavy barrel.
