trying to dust off and complete an old project...
Years ago I acquired a 10/22 International. Piddled around with it but never took it too seriously. Got interested in the 10/22 Deluxe models with the walnut stock, and even bought one used stock off Feebay (which turned out to be birch
)
Fast forward to this summer, Midway had Shilen sporter weight barrels on sale for 20+ % off, and also listed Ruger Deluxe, jen-u-eine walnut stocks for sale, though on backorder. Shilen's barrel is a perfect fit in the receiver; if it were .0001" larger in the shank I'm not sure it would fit.
Exhibition wood it's not, but to me it makes a pleasing, sleek little 22.

I may yet work on the trigger, although it's fairly good for a stock 10/22, and also try some different scope mounts. It will probably get a Loopy of one sort or the other, at least 6x, maybe even a 3x9.
For those who have worked with a wood stocked 10/22, how did you go about bedding it? Any special tricks or just a normal Acraglass job? Did you float the barrel?
