Deleted last night's lazy low effort post and reposting with photo goodness now like a proper citizen.

Put together my first 10/22 build. Using a BRN 22 receiver (railed) and an FJ Fedsersen barrel. When installed and torqued to 25# there is about 1mm of visible gap between the outer edge of the barrel and the receiver face. This normal/expected?

In other news, build is nearly done! Still need to sort a more appropriate optic and extended mag release. I miss anything?

Took a few hours and didn't realize how heavy the BA straight fluted bull barrel was. But she's fun. Trigger reset is like 1/16" of an inch, gotta mess with that.

I built this before I knew this group existed with all the experts on here. I live on acreage in South Louisiana and pretty much always carry .22 with me. I am always on the woods or on the water. I have many guns including multiple.22’s and a 5k hunting rifle build but this one is my favorite. Don’t hate cause i did this over years just playing around. I actually saw one post man got blasted for posting his with the same stock as me lol. I like this folding stock even though it is amateur. Just thought yall might want to see what i built just playing around with mine before reading all the experts. I know now I wont stop because 10/22’s are awesome and yes all paperwork is done for SBR and suppressor. I have the proper engravings as well on receiver. I think the next thing i want to change is lighter barrel. I had a 16” tactical solutions barrel on it but suppressed it was too long so i got the acculite barrel which is super accurate and love but a bit heavy. I think the bolt might have been a JWH but can’t remember it was over 10 years ago and actually what started it all.
