There is one of our members that is looking to trade a Stainless 10/22 for a Marlin Papoose, but he might be willing to part with it for cash.

WarHawk AVG,

I didn't realize they had all of the 10/22 parts too. Pretty nice!

Can I just build one up from scratch then?

You have to have the base rifle (action, barrel, stock) first as far as I know. Wal-Mart has them for $198 here in Plano. The only way you might find them otherwise is to buy used and get lucky to find one without a stock or that has already been 'tacti-cooled' out.

IMO you can't beat the 10/22 for reliability, ruggedness and accuracy. It has been a long standing favorite of many folks. On top of that you can leave it stock, or trick it out with a lot of EBR accessories if so inclined.
