An excellent training tool. I think we shot over 500 rounds in a few hours of mostly shoot-n-move practice. In my regular AR-15, that would have cost about $230 vs. under $30. At this rate, the .22 "trainer" rifle pays for itself in a half dozen or less practice sessions.

I also took some time to practice a technique I learned from Larry Vickers

I should have my 10/22 conversion from JP on the 4th. It'll replicate my 3gun rifle pretty well.

Now if the 10/22 were just as reliable as my MSTN 3Gun rifle..!!!!

I use a Volquartsen Exact Edge extractor in my 10/22 and only genuine Ruger 10/22 mags and haven't had a jam in over 15K rounds that I've fire through my 10/22..........

The subsonic rounds I was mostly using today I think contributed to the problem, as did the 25-round mags. I have less problems with the factory rotary mags.

Nice. Kids dig .22LR conversions too

That Nordic setup uses proprietary mags?

With the Nordic conversion you use a Ruger 10/22 receiver & barrel and it still uses Ruger 10/22 mags.

The Nordic has a Picatinny rail on top (same height at a flat top upper receiver) and allows you to use any AR stock, pistol grip and any freefloating rail or tube. I'll be using a commercial CTR stock, Tangodown grip and a Hogue rifle length FF tube, Armalite scope mount with a Weaver 1-3x scope with mine. It won't be an exact match for my 3gun rifle but it'll be close enough for good cheap practice. I'll be using a Butler Creek fluted stainless barrel to keep it's weight similar to my 3gun rifle.

Nice setup. Couple questions, though. Because you mentioned a commercial stock, I assume that's what the Nordic kit is designed for? Also, are there any .22 mags out there that mimic the size/feel of normal AR mags or is that wishful thinking on my part? Man I wish someone could do a conversion kit for magazines, too (make what looks like a great training tool even better).

Thanks for the pictures. I think I see one of those in my future: this college kid might finally be able to afford shooting more often with that rig.

Commercial/Mil-spec is based solely on what extension you pick up.

Mags- the BDM mags for the Ciener conversions come close.
