Went out to the range and knew that I probably wouldn't have much time, so I brought a new 10/22 build to test, my box of compact DIY builds. My brother and I had a blast shooting these dinky little guns. We burned through a couple hundred rounds in the 10/22 in no time, but a couple hundred rounds of 22 through these single shots kept us busy for about 2 hours.
Just talking crap and shooting 20-40 feet.
They ones with 4-4.5" barrels are pretty darn accurate for what they are.
All of the builds pictured have at least a couple hundred rounds on them. They all will run whatever 22lr you put in them safely, even stingers.
These simple DIY builds are all about fundamentals. Yeah, they are pretty much range toys. But it is satisfying to build these things and get them to function perfectly and be pretty long lasting.
