My charger has never had a problem with the coating on the reciever. The only rounds I've had fail are remington truncated cones... more the manufacturer than the gun. I have shot a 1.25 inch 9 shot group @ 50 yds with a 4x scope using cci 'tactical' solids. It was desinged for basic. 22 or ammo. And yes, a tactical double duece isnt practical for anythig but target shooting... but it is a lot of fun with a couple double 25 rouders and a series of steel bad guys and pop can wolf packs.

Im guessing but im probably wrong. Used to cost me 199, now it costs 2.50. Coke used to be a dollar now its a dollar sixty. mmmmm inflation. gotta love it. Calling this stock useless is kinda dumb. I guess some people dont know that this is pretty much the only stock out there for a charger. And some people dont know that chargers dont have sights on them. Some people even think is should be spelled ise. as in isent. When did you learn contractions? 3rd or 4th grade? damn. your 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th (probably stopped there) grade teachers let you down when they failed to break you of that habit. Isent. wow. not a typo either. Chargers are garbage until you take a dremel to the gunk they call paint or coating or parkerization or whatever on the INSIDE of the reciever. Where the bolt runs. Thats nice and slick. not. Pretty stupid. and the trigger packs are plastic now. (ITS lighter) I know ive always hated having to lug those heavy assed 10/22s around. Cousin has one, we bumped it quite a bit but nothing crazy. Tactical innovations solved the class 1 Ftfeed but exasserbated (thats a word worth spelling wrong) class 2 and 3s. failure to fires that is... its been stripped and cleaned and checked with mics and everything is in spec. Search me. short barrel means less time to blow that bolt back? If only I had a suppressor to try. It hates wildcat 22s, it likes truncated cones, it sorta likes blazer cci's when they arent duds. Thunderbolts never have a problem other than class 2s By the way, if you plan on storing a bunch of rimfires for a long long time; dont buy bulk, do store them upside down. The primer will slide down the cartridge like butter on a hot biscuit. so bullets point up, let gravity work for you. If you can get over the fact that ruger chargers dont come close to living up to its big brothers rep, or maybe get your hands on some old internals and do what I said and clean that black crap out of the reciever, AND you cant get over the NO SIGHTS AT ALL problem... buy this stock kit. they cost 109 dollars now, I dont think they EVER cost 269. a 10/22 is 189 and a hack saw is pretty cheap. make your own charger if you have an ffl, or even if you dont have a gunsmith with an ffl do it for you. Shouldnt be a problem.

Find there “Archangel Trademark LOGO” too be a
tasteless ripe off and kind of insulting
St Michael with a monkey face holding a toy gun
and the SAS insigina missing the ribbon “Who dares wins” not very original
maybe next time they could Photoshop it
instead of using a light box tracer and a #2 pencil
here try this
A blonde Laura Croft “Victora secert angel babe” holding a toy gun
and a Snake missing the words “Don’t tread on me” more original
and stop asking the cute girl at the 7/11 to pose in a US flag suit
she’s getting pissed and is going to call the cops on you
Nice try guys but its time to clean the garage out
Moms tired of parking in the drive way

Not only should it appeal to the tacticool crowd, but it has the added bonus of being a light weight Charger stock that can take open sights. Offhand shooting with the Charger just became more viable. Note: I recently handled the rifle version in a local store (sans sights) and it seemed well made/sturdy.

I never really cared for the whole bipod/laminate stock thing anyway. For $199 you can get it without the front rails, but it would probably be nice to have them for a grip...or a bipod if you like that...or a laser. Plus you can get longer sight radius. Agreed, with a high-cap mag, this would definitely be loaded with "scary features." Which, personally, I like. Not cheap, but isn’t that less than a stock Charger?
