Happy 10/22 Day!

Let's see them.

Sufficient speed, Acceptable drag.

So what is Project Appleseed Business?  What would the Ghost of Project Appleseed say to us?

"Business!'" cried the Ghost of Project Appleseed, wringing its hands again.  "Liberty was my business; Heritage, History, Freedom, and Pursuit of Happiness, were, all, my business. The deals of Marksmanship were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
-Adapted from Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol.

How do I 10/22?

Replace Extractor with Volquartsen
Replace mag release, dealers choice
Install auto bolt release (or modify factory part with a small round file)
Replace scope rail with 20MOA extended rail (or Tech sights)
Replace bolt buffer with Tuffer Buffer
Radius heel of bolt (600 and 1200 grit sandpaper backed by a sheet of glass)
Polish top of bolt (600 and 1200 grit sandpaper backed by a sheet of glass)
Replace barrel with one from Green Mountain (frequently on sale in December)
Sand the sides of magazines so they are flat
Using a sheet of glass and 1200 grit sandpaper, carefully clean up the trigger parts

Shoot 50 shot groups with each of a dozen varieties of ammo, select the best performing to be the standard ammo used in this specific rifle.

Your experience may vary from mine.
Old Guy:  Do it long enough and you get really good at it.

Rifleman:  Sacramento:  Four Ought Nine
Full Distance:  Red Bluff:  What year was that?
Pistoleerâ„¢:  Hat Creek:  Three Twenty One

Make yourselves good scouts and good rifle shots in order to protect the women and children of your country if it should ever become necessary.

Here's my family portrait. I never do any two the same. The green one in the Magpul stock started b/c I realized I was a stock, a bolt, and some tech sights away from being able to build an Appleseed rifle out of parts sitting around my basement.
