Rossi RS22

[TheMenace]

A kindly great-grandmother bought her 8-year old grandson a Rossi and brought him to Appleseed. (I won't go into all the details of how and why.) I loaned him a 10-22 with a youth stock and scope and plopped him on a rest. He had fun and didn't hurt himself or anyone else.

Now she wants to put an aftermarket stock on the Rossi to fit the grandson. I'm not a Rossi guy and don't see much info on line except that it might take Pinkster parts.

Anyone have ideas?

There are no aftermarket stock options available for rossi 22s.

I used rossi 22s for my first appleseed. It broke under conditions such as rain and sand. Not reliable but great factory trigger and very accurate. Solid iron sights.

I like the RS22.  She will need to find a wood worker that is willing to cut down the stock.  They will have to put in a wood insert to mate up the butt with the narrower section of the stock from removing the section to shorten the length of pull.  I suggest using foam or wood to build up the pistol grip like the Daisy 853.  I have done this to a plastic 10/22 stock to fit a very small for his age youth.
