Can we import a 10/22 and convert it to straight pull?

[MeccaOz]

I'm guessing this idea has been floated before, if so what was the outcome?

The question being, can we have a dealer import say a Ruger 10/22 where they get a smith to take it and turn it from a semi auto to a straight pull?

Just a question I thought a few people might be interested in.

Great idea...If it can be done, count me in for one in stainless.

I was looking at one of the stainless takedowns myself

I've heard that they need to be modified so that they can't be easily changed back To semi. If any of those companies created a straight pull from scratch they would absolutely clean up over here.

Google PWS T3, summit have already done the hard work for you.....................

Slightly off track but there are a couple of M1 converted to straight pull only kicking around. They have gotten through the system initially but i am not so sure they would be passed in originality today.

PWS T3 Now to try to convince someone to put one together and sell it as a a / b class

Yup, I've been looking at the PWS and as far as I know on_one_wheel they are an a class are they not? But I seriously doubt converting a recoil operated semi to a straight pull is that big of a job, even on a permanent basis. But it does open up a lot of option we haven't got now.

I have one and they are a class A

Straight pull 10/22 sounds like a sweet idea. But with our high cap mag restrictions, is there really any reason to buy one? Outside of the sexy aesthetics, that is

I think the government's definition of 'permanent' has been one of the major problem with this stuff.

I believe a lot of these projects have been knocked back because they can be 'easily converted' back to semi. That's their fear/excuse anyway from what I've read.

Any idea of the T3 is any good? From first hand experience?

I'm a bit wary when someone is the only game in town and how much they'll have been forced to make a good product.

Couldn't really find any decent reviews on it... Just general thoughts and comments and not much testing.

You can buy one as soon as you have a permit, those who shall not be named have them in stock.

Cat A .22

As far as reliability goes I haven't handled one yet nor know of anyone who has, there was a case on line with a broken cycling lever but it was fixed pretty quick smart.

In the straight pull line there are also Browning T bolts(about $1200) and TOZ (about $900) rifles, both readily available on any cat A licence.

Whilst I loved my 10/22 it has to be remembered it was a 20 cent piece at 50m not a 5 cent piece like my savages.

Well there are still a couple states that allow Hi-cap magazines. But in todays climate, I can live with a straight pull, just for the follow up shot.

Sorry, just saw your other thread, please keep us informed as to how it goes, it will be appreciated.

Pics or it didn't happen

[cruze82]

Here you go.

There is a whole thread about the PWS T3 I started but I don't know how to link it to this thread.

There are a couple of guys on the forum that have one.

[fordj]

Looks good

I'll try and find that other one.

You can just copy and past the URL of the other thread into your reply and it will automatically add the link. Just put it in like normal text and the forum will do the rest.

I assume this is the topic you're talking about - PWS T3

[cruze82]

Cheers Aster

You guys and your advanced computer skills, what would we do with out you?

[Bourt]

I'd actually have to get off my ass to go an talk to people instead.

We can't have that!

[Aster]

No worries all

Old thread, but here's my PWS T3 straight pull...

Nice gun - as accurate as I am anyway. Well balanced - if a little heavy for a .22. Never had an issue with it. My only bad comment would be that it has trouble extracting Winchester Zimmer .22 when I'm plinking on the quiet. I think it's probably an issue with the rounds more than the gun though as it extracts fine on everything else.

Gorgeous looking outfit, very nice indeed.

Ugh. Even the Brits get semi .22s. Although their laws are much worse than yours overall.



Can you guys put stocks on handguns? Get a good semi handgun, put a stock on it. Longer barrel if you like. Something that will be .22 rifleish.

What about that Ruger 10/22 handgun thingamajig? You can probably get an aftermarket stock for it. The possibilities for any 10/22 form are endless as I am sure you know. Including bullpup, MG-42, you name it.

[sandgroperbill]

You mean the ruger charger?

Still technically a handgun so can only be used as such, which basically means club only. You can't take it out the paddock to pop bunnies

[Title_II]

Oh

[RDobber]

Funky looking

[GLS_1956]

I'm going to admit that I did not think it was possible to convert a blow back design into a "straight-pull" gun. So how does it lock the bolt in the forward position?

[Redwood]

Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's worth the effort

[Gwion]

Can't see the point. There are already some nice straight pull 22lr available that IMO are better than 10/22.
