10/22 conversion stock that looks like M-60?

[bwesley]

I swore I saw a conversion stock kit that makes the 10/22 rifle look
like an M-60 assault rifle, was it a dream or did I really see this?
Please, anyone with info on this?

BWesley,

You probably did see a conversion stock to make the 10/22 rifle look like the M60 machine gun.  It's a plasztic or ABS casting that gives good details and mimicks the M60 in operation.

Shotgun News, I think, had ads for a molded stock that made the 10/22 look like the WWII German MG42 machine gun.  The moldligs were pretty detailed, and except for the fact that the original MG42 fired from belt-fed drums or boxes, it looked pretty good.

These stocks provide visual simulation rather than actually duplicate functions.  Re-enactment shooters like these things becasuse Class III (full-auto guns) is strictly regulated and outright prohibited in some places.

Sounds more like a nightmare than a dream   :wink:

I just thought if it was at least a decent quality fitting stock it would be fun to convert a 10/22 or it just might make it shoot like crap which is usually the case if its molded plastic might as well pass on the idea and go for
the beautiful laminated stocks they make and add a nice fluted bull barrel

In the long run that will probalby make you a happier shooter  :wink:

.22's are so much more fun to shoot than to look at it isn't much of a issue to me.  I am not sure how many 22lr are shot for any given other cartridge but I bet it is at least 100 to 1!
