Time to spruce up a 10/22

[Mobat555]

New fully CNC machined bullpup stock, for the Ruger(tm) 10/22 semi-automatic .22 caliber rifle, combines the precision of CNC machining, the durability of 6061-T6 aluminum and a utilitarian style. (http://www.wix.com/jbunting/bullpup-stock)

Wow, that's.....different.

Looks like a fun lil riffle.
As long as it has a decent trigger-probably the biggest downfall of Bullpups.

Sweet! but my un natural love of all things bullpup is well known. Nice to see an alternative to the cheapo muzzlite kit.

The 10/22 is a right side eject, and a bull pup configuration for a lefty would still eject shells into the left cheek or eye, Ruger would have to start producing lefty 10/22s first.
But do give credit to Stag arms for making a lefty AR. Although it feels totally wierd after adapting to a standard AR for all these years. So I only have the standard AR.

I was not aware that Ruger didn't make a lefty.

Here's my bullpup version of a 10/22.

Ruger would have to start producing lefty 10/22s first.

~ A year ago, I had a little face-to-face talk with the president of Ruger along with one of his major sales/marketing guys about this very subject - they don't make enough left-handed firearms (I brought up a specific example of how I can go buy a Ruger right-handed stainless steel with synthetic stock M77 in .30-06 & other calibers, but I can't get a left handed stainless steel M77 with or without a synthetic stock in any caliber (sure, they have a few blued versions, but not stainless).

The response I got was that it would cost them too much to set up manufacturing for left-handed items (What, can't use the existing lefty equip to make a stainless rifle instead of the blued? And the stock... really? The damned things are poured into a mold - just need lefty molds, not total retooling. They really dwelled on the cost of making the lefty stocks and how it wasn't worth it. I told them to make the lefty stainless steel rifle and just put one of their wood stocks on it and us lefties would buy an after-market synthetic stock to put on the gun. That pissed them off.

I informed them that the market was there for them to be the industry leader in lefty bolt action rifles if they were just willing to seize it. I was informed that I was wrong and there was really next to no market for lefty guns. I told them to check out Stag Arms for the AR15 market and see how well their lefty guns were making $$ for that company and maybe they'd see I was right.

In the end, they've permanently lost a buyer for any more left-handed (or even right-handed) bolt action rifles because of their attitude of disregard towards lefties.
