You could have your 10/22 threaded internally at the muzzle, then a can will work with the addition of an adapter. I had one like that.

My current rig is a Marlin 795 suppressed.

The Mannlicher action was designed by Ferdinand Mannlicher, the rotary magazine by Otto Schoenauer - dunno who designed the 'stutzen' stock, but they certainly didn't start with the MS rifle - the German Jeager rifle had them in the eighteenth century. The German immigrants took that design concept to the States and they made full length stocks on the 'long rifle.

I suppose the originator of that stock style was Herr Stutzen ............ or not.

Incidently - the Mannlicher action was largely copied from the the German 1886 Commission Rifle - which was designed by a committee.

I should have put "mannlicher" in quotes, I knew you gun nerds would be all over that. Stutzen as I understood it was a Germanic hunting rifle stock intended for the mountains. I used to not like them perticularly but now I have come the other way.

I knew Husqvarna had made some but never seen one in person.

Yeah - we're just a bunch of 'know-all' pricks ....................

Nice gun tho' ........
