> is there any aftermarket companies that sell a ruger 10/22 magnum receiver?

> CapnRob, any problems with the mags sticking in the Hogue stocks and if so, what did you do to correct it?

> For some reason "part 1" was locked so I'll respond here. I've had NO trouble with mags sticking on the Hogue stock, not even after-market hi-cap ones. If I did have that problem I'd probably have corrected it by trimming the rubber around the mag well. The scope pictured is a Simmons Aetec variable power 2-14x55mm. Not terribly expensive, about $150.00 but extremely clear. I'm quite happy with it in all...

> I thought the mag. receiver was steel; and not the alloy of the .22 rf version. True? If so, I can't believe that the .22 mag. round would be causing battering problems. Something else?

> The 10/22 Magnum receiver is indeed made from steel. discontinuing it may have to do with the issues of people doing the 17 HMR conversion which Ruger itself was not successful at That is my guess, anyway). The conversion was the plan when I bought mine but it shot so well it stayed a 22 Magnum and I have never regretted it.

> My WAG is that it was some lawyer driven perceived liability problem, that would cause them to curtail production. It could be something safety wise that could go wrong and cause injury in only very rare circumstances, but the manufacturer doesn't want to chance it, in front of a jury.

> The .17 conversion required a heavier recoil spring or bolt. People were just changing out the barrel. I have seen the buffer pin bent from the use of 17 HMR. The shooter would change the barrel back and send the gun back for warranty work. I suspect that if the 10-22 lr were intorduced today much the same would happen with the 17 mkII and Ruger might make the same decision.

> Are you wanting one or are you wanting a Ruger? There are a couple of aftermarket companies making receivers that you can build one on.

> check magnum research {Elsewhere} might be able to help too

> I have been trying to find out if Winchester actually made any of these rifles in the Classic Stainless Steel Sporter version with the synthetic stock. I have ran several want ads for this gun with no responses. The catalog number was 11693. I have searched the net for information and have found none. Does anyone know for sure if this gun was actually produced?
