Ruger 10/22 Full-Auto Conversion Laws in NC??

[Glock_n_Roll]

Aside from legal issues and the stupidity or neglegence of some people in this world, the 10/22 is perfectly safe for full auto conversion. It is a fact that the military once converted them to Full-auto for training purposes. This is why we are able to find so many books on how to convert them.....because it's been done numerous times in the past without any problems. I also agree that even if a part did fail under full-auto shooting that it would not be because it was full auto. If so, then those same parts would also fail under semi-auto rapid firing. I've rapid-shot my 10/22 numerous times with my plain finger as well as with the BMF Actuator and I cannot recall ever having a problem with it working properly, nor have I ever replaced a part in the 3+ years that I have owned it. I do have the blueprints to do the conversion but I do not have anywhere near the level of stupidity to attempt it. I'll be happy using my actuator until they make it legal for me to convert it.

Be smart and shoot safely!!!

the "motor" idea is considered a machinegun conversion part by the BATF. already checked into it :E

it's possible to convert the ruger 10/22 into a fully automatic rifle without buying ANYTHING, without modifying the receiver or trigger housing, and is almost completely reversible.
(but to reverse it, 3 parts totaling not more than 35.00 will be needed.)
it fires from an open bolt, using the bolt locking plate as an improvised "autosear". an added spring would be used to hold the "sear" up, effectively locking the bolt to the rear when the trigger is released(just like it would normally when you lock the bolt back..) when the trigger is pulled, it pulls on a modified extension (formerly the return spring extension for the bolt lock)of the old bolt locking plate down, letting the bolt slam forward on a live round, firing that round and cycling the action.
the bolt itself is tricky, but not impossible. the lower side has a projection for stripping a live round from the magazine. through some creative metalworking, it now becomes the "firing pin", which must be carefully worked to allow proper firing AND stripping a round from the magazine. the old ejector will need to be reformed to allow certain clearances.

the one conversion of this type that i have seen firsthand (and was permitted to fire) had no cycling, extraction or ejection problems, even during sustained automatic fire. the stock extractor is hardened steel, and should any problems with case expansion present themselves, it is fully capable of sliding over the case rim OR ripping through it entirely.

a silencer can be transferred for $5, not 200.00, because it is in the "any other weapons" class. a machinegun is classified as any other weapon, but also has its own subset of rules and regulations.

and finally, i don't recommend anyone try to convert any firearm into a fully automatic weapon. not only is it illegal, it's extremely dangerous.

You are incorect, it does take a 200$ tax stamp to transfer an automatic weapon.
same for a silencer!

I would bet that the extractor will probably break before the first magazine is empty.

Seen that exact thing happen...


Just pickup one of them gatling gun tripods and load a pair of 10/22's on there and have some REAL fun ...

just a heads up to all you ppl that "seem" to have all the answers.... BATF is now known as the BATFE (BUREAU, ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS, EXPLOSIVES) enjoyed reading the posts still

You replied to a 6 year old thread, perhaps that's why.

Thekingofpain is an idiot! Unless you live in nazi Germany in the 40's, your not going to jail for a book. I'm sick of all you *****'s worried about going to jail for doing nothing. This is ****'n America! We should have the right to walk in to walmart, and walk out with full auto AK 47 if we want to. Because of people like you, soon the govt. will take everything away from us.

Actually, thekingofpain is dead. He was murdered, by a gun, 2-3 years ago in his own home, or maybe it was in his yard. Sorry, I don't remember the details. I also believe that the case is still open, unsolved.

He also lived in California. I believe that CA. does in fact have a law against the very thing he stated in this thread. It is a State and not a Federal law.

EDIT:
Sorry, took me a bit to find the thread. He was shot on his porch on Wednesday, 6APR2005.
A friend of ours has died.
