This tactical is a full-tilt-boogey version of my "Bad-Ass" series of 10/22 custom tacticals.

I built this one as if it were mine to keep (knowing that I couldn't). I chose the components and designed the "look" that I wanted on my own personal rifle.

I used all the best available parts and technology from Nordic, Whistle Pig, Tactical Inc., ATI, Grip-Pod, Yankee Hill, New Century and of course Mike "The Machinist" of AlumaliteUSA.

From the daytime green laser to the instant detach tac light to the push button Grip-Pod - this was designed to be a complete weapon system. Terrific fire-power, fantastic accuracy, Ruger 10/22 reliability and cheap ammo are what it is about. This one was fun to build!

As with all my tacticals the barrel is threaded and finished  with a "one-off" custom aluminum compensator from Mike. These are the best and most unique thread-on barrel attachments for tactical weapons on the planet. Mike - thank you for your awesome work and help on my builds.

Ted D. - please enjoy this weapon and save a few varmints in MO for the rest of the shooters there!

This full custom "Theme" rifle was purchased by C. Tolliver of MD - a serious collector of guns.

I designed and built this theme rifle because in 43+ years of doing this I have never seen a rifle with a "Copper" inspired  theme. What you see is the exact result of my initial vision for this project. Many of the parts were custom made for this specific project.

Some of the features are:  10 coat hand oil finished stock design from Richard's Microfit completely customized and hand finished by me; billet Elite receiver from Tactical Inc.; very rare new match barrel from Whistle Pig; fully customized and detailed Heier Custom Super-Match trigger assembly; custom Heier match bolt assembly with first ever "Prism" jeweling by Red Mist Maker along with a one-off billet & copper colored logo Heier/Red Mist bolt handle; custom matched combat rings and a Tru-Glo 6-24x44AO target scope; custom detailed black to copper fade steel lip magazine.

This project took months from the design to finished weapon.

This custom target & varmint rifle was built by good customer Larry D. of Maryland.

Larry purchased two boxes of super parts to add to his 10/22 and turn it into a custom tack driver. I sent him a Shaw helical fluted match barrel; Forest Camo Boyd's Blaster stock; my Super-Match trigger assembly with Volquartsen internals, Tactical Solutions lever mag release and Power Custom titanium target trigger; custom raised base & Weaver rings; custom Heier/Red Mist billet logo extended bolt handle; Turcite -X buffer and a Tru-Glo 6-24x44AO lighted scope.

Way to go Larry! Shoot straight - shoot safely.

Please support your local NRA and buy tickets for their fund raising activities.

This custom in my series of "New - Old School" rifles was sold to C. Tolliver - a serious gun collector in MD.

Some of the custom features of this rifle are: new Ruger factory receiver assembly; my Super-Match trigger assembly (2 lb. 10 oz.) with Volquartsen internals, Tactical Solutions magazine release and automatic bolt release; Boyds Blaster laminated target stock; my design aluminum match octagonal barrel from Whistle Pig Barrels; polished target bolt with Kidd custom extended handle; Power Custom raised billet Weaver base; New Century lighted target scope in 6-24x50AO.

This gun was built to be both light weight and accurate out to 100 yards. The rifle will shoot off-the-shelf ammo and even hollow-points.

This tactical is a full-tilt-boogey version of my "Bad-Ass" series of 10/22 custom tacticals that I have been building for years. All are completely unique and use many one-off custom parts available nowhere else.

I used all the best available parts and technology from Nordic, Whistle Pig, Tactical Inc., ATI, Yankee Hill, New Century, Panther, Pro-Mag and of course Mike "The Machinist" of AlumaliteUSA.

From the daytime green laser to the ultra-light swivel bi-pod to the quick detach (lever throw) military optic - this was designed to be a complete weapon system. Terrific fire-power, fantastic accuracy, Ruger 10/22 reliability and cheap ammo are what it is about.

The barrel is a silver aluminum Whistle Pig 16.5" threaded match barrel. The barrel comp is an extremely unique slip-over design from Mike "The Machinist" of AlumaliteUSA. These are simply the most unique and well built muzzle attachments made for any weapon. The barrel has standard 1/2 x 28 military threads and is suppressor ready.

This one has had the stocked set in a fixed position and the compensator permanently attached to be in compliance with MA law. Oh, it also is not being delivered with a high-cap mag. Seems that they are evil in MA also! Must be hundreds if not thousands of innocent people in MA have been slaughtered by the evil 10/22 with high-cap mags! Go figure.

This custom rifle was built for Ryan Ruffato of right here in the beautiful Gallatin Valley. It was Ryan's first custom rifle of any kind and he was very specific about what he was after. I used his "old reliable" 10/22 as the base for the build.

I used the T-Rex ambidextrous stock; Whistle Pig threaded silver barrel; match bolt upgrade; custom billet logo extended bolt handle; Super-Match trigger job with blue billet trigger & mag release; billet base & rings with Tru-Glo lighted scope; bi-pod and one-off custom 'gill ported' muzzle brake.

The targets Ryan showed me from break-in were exceptional. His plans are to get as many ground squirrels (we call them Gophers) as possible with it. Thanks much Ryan and good luck on your hunting trip up north!

This custom .22 LR rifle is another in my "New - Old School" series of custom designed 10/22s using absolutely the the best available modern parts and technology with the nostalgic look of an octagonal barrel. I designed the barrel and had it built to my exacting specs specifically for the "New - Old School" series of custom rifles I am building.

This custom was built by customer Jim Gaddy from WI.

Jim used a Heier built two-tone Super Match trigger assembly, our jeweled match bolt and Turcite-X buffer.

He finished the Raptor stock himself with 8 coats of Tru-Oil applied by hand. He used an E.R. Shaw helical fluted .17 HM2 barrel and a Mag Research heavy bolt handle and spring. For the scope he used a Leupold Vari-X 3 in 4.5-14x40AO with Leupold rings and base.

It appears that this is the "Big Brother" to the Red .22 LR he built. Great job Jim!

 I built this rifle for both target & varmint duty. The scope is not a "cheapie" 3-9 center-fire scope used by some other builders. This is a serious scope for a serious rimfire. It features the finest glass available, super-fine X-hairs found only on high end optics, target turrets and two sun shades.

This custom was built by a good customer Jim Gaddy from the great state of WI.

He used a custom hand fitted and finished stock from Heier's along with a Heier match trigger assembly and one of our custom bolt handles.

This two-tone tactical rifle was designed for the shooter who uses an AR-15 with carry handle and wants a .22 LR weapon with the same fit & feel. It was built with the same name brand parts used on many ARs but with the venerable Ruger 10/22 as it's base.

This one features as always a threaded Whistle Pig aluminum match barrel with one-off custom comp/can by AlumaliteUSA and: Nordic frame with accessory parts from DPMS, Hogue, TDI, Tactical Inc., Volquartsen, New Century, Olympic & more.

This is one great squirrel gun or home defense weapon.

This very lightweight .17 Mach 2 was purchased by Jared Sisk of MO. He said he “was a sucker for all unusual and different” guns. This one certainly fits that description from the Volquartsen billet receiver and carbon fiber barrel to the awesome looking and fitting Predator Raptor stock. As a first time .17 Mach 2 shooter - Jared loves the 100+ yard performance of this little hot-rod round.

He’s also getting his little 8 year old daughter into shooting and is putting together a custom .22 for her using some parts he bought from me. This is one lucky young girl with a great dad. I'm betting it won't be too many years and his Mach 2 will be hers & he'll be needing another one!

Thanks Jared and keep up the good work with the young ones - all of shooting sports will benefit.

This highly modified and customized Ruger Charger pistol was built to bridge the gap between rifle and pistol. This is the latest in my own series of Charger Pistol extreme upgrades. It is chambered in the .17 HM2 (Mach 2) that shoots extremely flat and averages 2,100 fps from a 17" barrel.

I designed this pistol to be used as a field carry weapon that would be primarily used from the prone or "laying" shooting positions but it can be shot standing with one or two hands. The grip is absolutely outstanding in shape and ergonomics and has been fitted for a medium to large hand. Got tree or ground squirrel problems? You won't for long with this bad-boy!

Everything from the stock to the barrel to the comp is "one-off" custom.

It will be taking up residence in MO. Varmints best look out! Thanks Dennis.

This full custom was built to the specifications of customer Mike Shapiro of Missoula, MT. Mike wanted to get a 10/22 as close as possible in look and feel to his JP Enterprises custom target AR-15. He will be using this 10/22 in the Rimfire competitions in the spring and summer.

This was great fun to build and was the first one done using so many custom built and high-end components. Thanks to Mike and the guys at JP for their help in getting this one right.

This full – tilt tactical was built for a customer in Florida. He has two sons in the military proudly serving their country. He wanted a full on tactical 10/22 that would have the features they are familiar with and that they could shoot inexpensively when they got home.

This rifle is based on the Nordic frame with the following features: match trigger and bolt assemblies; FM military optics system featuring a lighted 3 – 9 mil-dot scope; side scope mounted green “daytime” laser; four rail free floated front hand guard; retractable Bushmaster butt-stock assembly; milled billet aluminum 25 round adjustable magazine from Tactical Inc.; front mounted 1” tactical flashlight; quick mount bi-pod; quick release front grip; rubber finger groove rear grip; 16” threaded aluminum barrel from Louis at Whistle Pig Barrels; custom made (for this rifle) slip-over compensator “can” by Mike “The Machinist” of AlumaliteUSA.
