A good while back, I'm pretty sure I remember you doing a 22 short conversion on a 10/22...maybe a kit for the magazines to help them feed and such. If this is correct, can you elaborate. I have just such a project I'd like to attempt. If bolt springs are involved I'll probably leave them alone so I can shoot both. I don't really mind if it doesn't cycle the shorts automatically as long as I can do it manually. Then again, I have quite a few 10/22s so it may not hurt to fully convert it.

10/22 Question for John K.

Ouch! That's kinda steep for a squirrel rifle. But I'd love to have that magazine!
Sorta kinda
Jimmy P. And I both tinkered on getting a 10/22 to run with shorts, longs, and CCI shot.
Basically, it wont work due to the weight of the stock bolt. The Volquartson kit had an aluminum bolt IIRC. Jimmy and I both skeletonized a bolt to reduce weight and got it close; but when you reduce the spring to get it to cycle.... it doesnt have enough giddyup to strip the next round from the mag.
After I got my 07/02, I dropped that project and put a can on a SBR'd 10/22. Now that's niiiice...
I thought I remembered you doing...

something with the magazines to make them feed shorts. I don't really care if they cycle. I can just run them by hand but if I had a mag that would feed more than one at a time, carefully placed just right in the front of the feed lips, it would speed up the process. A suppressor and a threaded 10/22 is high on the "to get" list:)
How hard is it to get one to run...
On CCI Quiet?
My old Rem Model 241 runs the CCI Quiet but no other

semi-auto will including the 10-22s. First thing I tried! The CCI Quiet is quieter out of the 241 than out of other guns but it isn't particularly noticeable. It is not as quiet as the CCI CB, short or long, or the Aquila Colibri or Super Colibri.

I'd like to find some CCI Long CB's but I've never...

seen a single round of it in my entire life. I have had pretty good results from the Colibris though.
I bought 4-500 a few years back..

My dad has an old 1890 Winchester in .22 long. Ammo isn't easy to find and the few boxes I gave to him will probably be a lifetime supply!

I guess I need to try the CCI Quiet...

Maybe it will be comparable in noise to the CBs.
10/22 Question for John K.
I have a 10/22 that was converted to 22 short...With Volquartsen parts. It is surprisingly accurate at distances beyond 50 yards. I have dispatched rabbits and crows with it regularly. If you would like to email me I can send pics of the modified magazines.
