DIY 10/22 Takedown
Huntertown Arms is making a 10/22 Takedown kit. It will allow the user to convert his or her standard 10/22 and convert it into a takedown model. Huntertown Arms is collaborating with Choate Machine and Tool to use their 10/22 stocks. They will be converted for Huntertown Arms’ take down kit. They are also including a take down bag to store you modified takedown. The best part? The whole kit will retail for $99.
The takedown conversion is simple. You remove the V Block on the 10/22 and replace it with their module. And you screw on their stock and block assembly onto the barrel. The release mechanism is a single button. You push the button and pull the barrel off the receiver. A much simpler method over the factory 10/22 Takedown. In the photo above, you can see the button protrudes past the foregrip, so they will machine the button flush which you can see below.
The 10/22 with the Burris Fast Fire has had over 6k rounds shot thru it at 5 rd increments. They would shoot 5 rounds, remove the barrel, re-attach the barrel and shoot another string of 5 rounds. Not once did they lose zero.
Huntertown Arms will offer their kit with 4 different stock options. The $99 option is with a fixed stock. The prices will increase with other stock options like the folding stock, dragunov style and a M4 collapsible stock all from Choate Machine and Tool. The kits will be released in a couple months. The pictures below are of the prototypes. They are a little rough. These are not representative of the final product.

Hello every one. That was my rifle in the clip. If you have any questions about it feel free to contact me with any of your questions. The kydex guard was for safety reasons on an open range. Once it is installed it places the rifle back on safe and keeps your finger out of trigger as you place it back together nothing more. Also with out barrel in there is no chamber so round would just fall out front if you are silly enough to have a loaded mag in the rifle and operate the bolt. Please feel free to contact me at jim@huntertownarms.com. Kit will be ready for sale in the next few months.
If they do this with Ruger's bolt action American Rimfire, I will place the order within the week! especially if it allows bull barrels!
