Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications were made to the Ruger 10/22 for this survival build?

The Ruger 10/22 was upgraded with a Ruger extended magazine release for easier reloads, a Volquartsen auto bolt release for quicker bolt cycling, and an M Carbo trigger spring kit to slightly lighten the trigger pull.

How compact is a Ruger 10/22 with a Butler Creek folding stock?

When the Butler Creek folding stock is deployed, it significantly reduces the length of pull. However, with the full 18.5-inch barrel, the overall package remains quite long, though shorter than a standard configuration.

What are the advantages of a Butler Creek folding stock on a Ruger 10/22 for survival?

The primary advantage is rapid deployment; simply flipping the stock open allows for immediate use. The stock also offers internal storage in its pistol grip, suitable for ammunition.

How does the Ruger 10/22 with a folding stock compare to true takedown rifles for portability?

True takedown rifles like the Ruger 10/22 Takedown or Chiappa Little Badger break down into smaller components, resulting in a shorter overall stored length compared to a Ruger 10/22 with a folded stock and full barrel.

What is the storage capacity of the pistol grip on the Butler Creek folding stock?

The pistol grip on the Butler Creek folding stock has internal storage space that can accommodate approximately 30 to 50 rounds of 22LR ammunition, though a full 10/22 magazine will not fit.
