you may have to rase your price limit a used factory 10 22t in good shape brings about 500 i have one with a butler creek barrel and stock clark cust trigger rail rings ect but i need about 650 good day 1 ragged out hole at 50 yds
My 10/22 I bought from Academy and put a Green river fluted barrel and custom trigger work and ejector and a Fajin Stock and have nearly $1000, Worth the effort and expense tack driver
I was just following up on the 2 prev posts that recommended buying the carbine at academy and modifying it.
I had been looking for a used 10/22 myself and found that there's not much if any depreciation on them. Granted older models have more metal parts than the new ones.
