10/22 Factory Stock Project Part One: The Plan

Ruger 10/22 factory stock and an aftermarket barreled action.

I don’t currently have any rifles in a 10/22 factory stock. This is partly due to the fact that I don’t have any barrels with the factory taper. Mostly it’s because the 10/22 factory stock is pretty ordinary. Since I’m in the middle of what feels like a never-ending winter, I’ve decided to take on … Read more

TandemKross Manticore Trigger Review

The TandemKross Manticore Trigger is the most feature-packed trigger available for the 10/22 and similarly-patterned firearms. This innovative trigger assembly is adjustable for weight, pre-travel and over-travel. It’s also got a magazine release that works whether pushed or pulled.

Stocking Stuffers from TandemKross

Ruger SR22 Makeover from TandemKross

Ruger SR22 with TandemKross upgrades

If you haven’t shot the Ruger SR22, I suggest you seek out an opportunity to try one. They’re compact .22 pistols with some quirks, but fun little guns to shoot.

Accelerator Thumb Ledge for Pistols, from TandemKross

TandemKross Accelerator Thumb Ledge for Pistols, installed on a KelTec PMR30

With their new Accelerator Thumb Ledge, TandemKross is on a roll. Many competition shooters prefer a “thumbs forward” grip, and this makes it easy to get one. I’m a huge fan of this shooting style myself, and have added forward thumb rests to a couple of my pistols. This is usually an involved process. For … Read more
