Thread: Adapting a 10/22 for my son

    Adapting a 10/22 for my son

    My 7yo son got behind a rifle for the first time today, and he loved it. And I loved that he loved it. He shot an old 10/22 target that was languishing in the back of my safe. Now I want to reconfigure it for him. I think he needs a Pistol grip (to shorten the trigger reach) and a way shorter LOP

    What stocks can anyone recommend to get me a more adaptable gun for the next few years?

    If the answer is to buy a new gun, I’m all for it, but supply is sh*t.

    Thanks

    Axiom 10/22 stock is cheap, uses adjustable AR stocks for short LOP, and is very light. A friend set up his 10/22 this way for his kids to shoot steel challenge. Along with a Holosuns red dot.

    If you want a new gun the 15/22 is a good option. Short LOP, light, easy.

    I just saw the MAGPUL one and the grip is fairly vertical. And LOP can get down to 12.5”

    12.5 is still fairly long for a youth stock, and the magpul is pretty heavy.

    It's definitely a nicer stock for an adult, but if you actually need a youth stock the Axiom is a better choice.

    Takeoff 10-22 stocks are cheap. People buy a 10-22 rifle to "build" and take off the barrel, stock etc. I've seen them for $25 or $35. Save your original for later and chop off the replacement. There are also a lot of replacement stock available.

    ATI Stock

    I think I have one of these stocks that I've swapped for a Hogue overmold.

    If you are patient and can wait for about 9-days until I'm back at the home-base I'll give it to you for what you think is fair.

    I switched it out once my little one could handle a standard stock.

    This is definitely the cheapest/easiest option. People sell their take off stocks cheap and you can always cut one to fit him now and put the one you have on it now back on it.

    i have no idea what the search term to find it is, but I think we had a long thread here about a 10/22 custom cut down stock back in the early days of the forum.

    If you can wait just a little longer, KRG Bravo is supposed to be available any time now, you can pre-order at places like the following. Has the pistol grip and will allow adjust for youth LOP.
