I am actually using a Harris BR Model Bipod mounted backwards on my Free Float Tube and a Rabbit Ear Bag under the Buttstock.

I also shoot our Bench Rest League with my Stainless-Steel Super 14 .22 LR Contender Handgun with a 3x12x32mm Burris LER Fine Plex - PA Handgun Scope with Target Turrets. I have been a Contender Handgun fanatic for many, many years.

I picked up a standard M&P 15-22 for $ 429. Also purchased a couple of 25 round magazines. Great fun. Shoots well and without hangups on every kind of bulk ammo I have tried. Regret not getting a threaded barrel as our state legislature recently approved the use of suppressors.

That's a neat looking "Black Rifle" you have there, OM ! It looks like alot of fun."
A couple of guys brought them in to the indoor range and were ripping the targets apart
and having a great time. Queen Anne's Lace, lookout !

It's a great fun shooter gun, not really accurate enough for the dandelion and Queen Anne's Lace, but great for rapid fire from the bipod and ripping up targets. Also made a rack and have tennis balls hanging on a string,lots of fun on them.
Deeetroit must have moved further South, because it is 40 degrees, windy and rainy here. If you got any of that smoking stuff extra , send me some, eh?????

I built another Black Rifle look-a-like based off of a Ruger 10/22.

This time I used an Archangel 556 Stock Kit. After assemblying it I was quite pleased but I knew the Rails on the Archangel Free Float Tube would have to go.



Above is a photo of the Archangel Ruger 10/22 along with the latest Nordic Ruger 10/22 I recently built for my Granddaughter.

As I stated the rails had to go. I enlisted the help of a machinist friend and his mill made short work of removing the top and bottom rail from the Archangel Free Float Tube.




I shot it this way for a while but knew I still had some modifying to do. I then set out to reduce the diameter of the Archangel Free Float Tube so I could slide a DPMS AR-15 Carbon Fiber Free Float Tube over the Archangel Free Float Tube. With lots of dremeling, rasping and sanding I finally achieved my goal.




In the end I am very pleased with the results and outcome. The total package as pictured weighs in at 6.88 lbs on a digital scale. It is a joy to shoot and hold. My Granddaughter just loves it and it seems to be the right weight for her to use in our Youth 3 Position Rifle League at the Indoor Shooting Range.

Good work!

That is a cool looking "black" rifle OM, you should have a lot of fun with it. I see folks shooting them at the range and they have a blast. All's I have to say is, the Queen Ann Lace might not even bloom this year out of fear.

Looks like you've adapted that stock very well to your needs. It should give you many years of enjoyment.
