A Different Direction

[Chuck Noris]

After spending WAY too much time building/troubleshooting/rebuilding/etc./etc. with Glock clones, I have gone down another path. This is a Ruger 10/22 Charger (regular, not takedown model). I did the receiver with PA6-CF, and the rest of the build with PLA-CF. It has met my safety tests and is ready for the range. I am looking forward to finishing a takedown model. This one has a 4" bull barrel, BX trigger, standard bolt. The only parts I bought were the trigger assembly, the bolt and charging handle, and the barrel (plus the bolts/nuts/etc.).

Plus I get to use .22 ammo instead of 9mm!

Very nice ! Great quality

I don't (yet) know much about printing, but that looks like a really "clean" print! Nice job!

Have you fired it, yet?

Where did you get the model? I see a bunch of the 10/22 "chargers".

Ivan the troll receiver?

That one is chOdin 10_22 Chassis release 1.0. I had to shorten the front, because it was too long for my 4" barrel. There are several receivers available, as long as you print the OEM version it will work with most prints. I have also printed the Bento Box, and I have remixed the Bento Box to use an AR handle and pic rail rear to accomodate any brace, not just the ones in the Bento Box files. I have printed the takedown model of "Galileo by DB Arms", and it came out VERY nice. All of these are on Odyssee.

I used Ivan's. Bento Box has a GREAT takedown receiver that you glue a brass flange in to receive the barrel.

It's been a while since I had a 10/22...

Nice. I like the unadorned 'slab side' look.

That's pretty sweet. I printed this little Mac 11 recently. I'm working on the brace now. I'm in 100% agreement with you on the PA6-CF for the lower, and PLA-CF for everything else. I'm getting good results from "Amolen" it's around $14-17 per spool of nylon.

I've been playing around with infil. If I have a lower that takes a lot of abuse, like this little Mac-11, I've been adjusting the infil up from 15% to 50 or 60% I've gone as high as 100% for some pistol frames that felt a bit light. Mainly 10mm and 45.

I also Printed this AR stock that holds a Magazine. Uses the stock mag Catch.

That is very nice looking! I have been using Polymaker Fiberon nylon cf and will have to give the Amolen a try!
