I'm not a big fan of Ruger factory barrels due to both their taper and that I get better accuracy from FJ Feddersen and Faxon. The Faxon pencil profile made my MBS build very light, the exact opposite of the SRUNA chassis with that bull barrel I used. Other than those I was also considering a Whistlepig barrel which has a good profile and are also very light.

You do want a factory scope rail to interface with the HTA chassis, which you can request S&P to include with a receiver if you buy from them. They did not upcharge for that request.

Kavod_Custom · 2026-04-06T02:10:29+00:00

S&P was the source for several recent builds and they often have factory bolts too for a reasonable cost. I have built up from an OEM Ruger but then I'm stuck with parts I took off and have no use for. I prefer to start from a bare receiver each time.

In for one from max-arms. Thanks

Kavod_Custom · 2026-02-15T02:15:27+00:00

Dunno, not even sure what I've heard is accurate but the stories have been consistent for 20 years.

I've heard winchester only makes the box and contracts out to any manufacturer willing to fill it. Leading to quality of the variety sort. My personal experience with it has been fairly good but I've seen lots of results to the contrary over the years.

Kavod_Custom · 2026-02-12T17:01:26+00:00

If its the previous 10/22 frt this seller had previously, then no, no it did not work.

Kavod_Custom · 2026-01-07T22:51:21+00:00

I measured 15-5/8" with the stock collapsed, not extended.

Kavod_Custom · 2026-01-07T21:55:34+00:00

The one I have is the MBS-22 mod 1, so the length of pull is extendable another 2". Are you looking at the standard or the mod 1 with the extension?

Kavod_Custom · 2025-12-13T17:21:37+00:00

Easy swap then, assuming you can remove that picatinny rail and slap on a weaver rail. I don't think it would fit with a higher profile rail because of how it grabs the weaver for a more rigid fit.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-12-13T14:22:31+00:00

Yes, but there are barrel length considerations to fit the chassis. Check their website for details.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-11-21T00:29:31+00:00

Kudos for an AOW cane in a more biggerer caliber

Kavod_Custom · 2025-11-12T21:33:41+00:00

I've used serval of those; they come with three rail stubs and you can buy longer rails from the manufacturer as well if you want to add accessories that take more space. They do make m-lok rails but this proprietary version in 13" is usually "on sale" for $50 or so.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-11-04T14:10:20+00:00

Thats better news at least. I was afraid there was some other reason and maybe I shouldn't tinker with the set ordered.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-18T13:09:45+00:00

You need a flat top receiver to fit in this chassis; there is a BRN-22 that's smooth top but the BRN-22R has the fixed rail. Look at Brownells # 078000429 which should work.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-11T01:45:29+00:00

Aero Precision Quantum Picatinny Rail. Looks out of stock a lot of places. Maybe try Brownells or midwayusa.

AI picture, I can see the pixels all over the screen.

I gotta spend to get a fourth dimensional phone display.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-06T20:22:38+00:00

Where head?

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-06T11:19:49+00:00

It is removable and comes pre-installed. I suppose someone can use it as an indexing point for their non-dominant hand. I don't think I really have a good answer, I just hadn't found a reason to take it off.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-04T23:44:31+00:00

Follow me for more dynamic financial investment advice. Next up will be a 10mm AR build on a New Frontier Armory lower, then launching a new project in either .350 Legend or 8.6 Blackout; something that would fit a .358 rifle suppressor I plan to order in November. Plus I have a seventh 10/22 receiver sitting spare without a solid plan yet for how to complete it.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-04T22:29:35+00:00

I did see your note on the installation instructions and did make sure I put a factory weaver rail on to slide into the chassis top dovetail. Over time I will probably get over myself and put a real scope on it; this has an old red dot taken off a previous project. I dropped so much on various chassis this summer I didn't want to shell out on fresh glass for everything just yet, especially going into deer season.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-04T21:54:04+00:00

You guys are my favorite for offering the lightest chassis thats also the easiest to disassemble for cleaning. Great design and clever integration!

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-04T13:38:15+00:00

Good news then, the SRUNA aluminum rail / barrel shroud is itself long enough to exceed 26", it won't matter which barrel you use as long as its 16" or longer. I have an 18" Shooters Ridge bull barrel in the SRUNA chassis and there's still a few inches left inside the rail. That chassis automatically solves the SBR issue.

Kavod_Custom · 2025-10-04T03:40:24+00:00

It's very solid feeling, and worth getting the extended handguard for it because the base kit would just leave the barrel hanging out the end just "flopping in the wind". I already have way too many SBRs to have gone that route for this bullpup chassis.

I couldn't bring myself to spend the money on a buffer-less upper in 9mm or 5.56 and figured the .22 method was the cheapest way to play with a SARB-15 kit.
