I hope it shoots well too. I think I'm gonna sand down the barrel channel a bit to make sure the barrel is free. It does touch at the end of the stock right now. I don't know if that will affect it's accuracy or not. It shot pretty well in the Ruger stock with the barrel band.
Sadly though I probably won't get to shoot it this weekend. Perhaps on Tuesday.

Check out this thread for the latest on my build. It's changed a bit in the last couple months.

Very nice rifle you have there. This TACTICAL 10-22 thing has really went crazy. Crazy enough so that I too had to put one together.
I shoot a Bushmaster 16" M4 Optics Ready Carbine for my Coyote Hunting / .223 Shooting needs. My wife kind of fell in love with the Bushmaster as she can shorten (collapse) the stock to get it to FIT her properly.
Well a buddy had a 10-22 for sale for $100.00 so I jumped on it. I then found a used Tapco T-6 Stock on the net for $90.00 (with a UTG Quad Rail that I really didn't want).
At any rate when the Tapco Stock arrived I started dreaming of how I could modify it to more closely match the look and feel of my Bushmaster.
I think the end result turned out OK, at least to my liking. It was a lot of work and planning to remodel the forend of the Tapco Stock to get the AR-15 Carbine Length Aluminum Free Float Tube attached, but in the end it was worth it.

What can I say guys. I haven't been here in quite a while, was doing some snooping and came across this thread. I thought maybe you'd like to see a different style of Tactical 10-22. Mine is pretty basic but serves the intended purpose.
For the record that is a Factory Carbine Barrel I had cut & recrowned at 17" while removing the front sight in the process. Not sure if that or the free floating did the trick but I am more than pleased with the accuracy.
