Good on you @parriehunter ! You are to be encouraged.
Reviewing your web site the 10/22 project is a great and natural progression from your tinkering with the Norinco JW15. With some of the kit 55Six is landing in the country and other post confiscation proliferation of 10/22 kit parts becoming more readily available, the 10/22 makes for a great project gun that allows shooters to customise them to their liking.
I've had several 10/22's over the years including one of the very first Volquartsen's ever imported into the country back in the days when they were using Ruger factory receivers for their guns.
Still have one 10/22 as a dedicated possum gun which carries a Bunnybuster barrel and Boyds stock. Great little gun customised specifically for its intended use.
Keep you the good work!
