Caleb's BRN-22 Build
Спорт
Join Caleb from Brownells in this comprehensive guide to building a 10/22 rifle using the BRN-22 receivers.
Caleb walks you through the various options available for the BRN-22 receivers, including traditional models with drilled and tapped holes and versions with an integral rail on top. He also introduces a stainless finish receiver, which is actually clear anodized aluminum, offering a unique look for custom builds.
The tutorial covers the selection of barrels, highlighting the ER Shaw Target barrel and Ruger Factory barrels, both threaded and non-threaded. Caleb then guides you through the assembly process, starting with the installation of the bolt carrier group, using a Power Custom charging handle, and applying the right amount of lubrication.
Next, he demonstrates how to install the rubber bolt buffer, which provides additional cushioning for the bolt, and the trigger group, using the upgraded Ruger Factory BX model. The assembly is completed by securing the rifle into the Magpul stock for the 10/22, ensuring a perfect fit.
For any questions or additional assistance, viewers are encouraged to post comments or contact Brownells for support.

Maybe Brownells should sell your build and Steve's build as a complete kit. It would be a big seller, especially for not having to add every part to the cart... Brn Caleb 22.... Brn Steve 22

I had no idea of the simplicity of a 10/22 build. Thanks
Love that there's an at4 just casually in the background of this 22 build. Haha
Would like to see a takedown build! Also, a little tutorial about how the different stocks deal with the 10/22's poor stock interface. Bedding them is always a hassle.
I bought one of the Brownells integral rail 10/22 receivers and I love it. However, keep in mind that if you want the option to use 10/22 sights dovetailed into the barrel, you should buy the non-rail version. Also get the non-rail version if you want flexible rail options. I love the Magpul stock, no reservations, and I wish this video was around when I built my 10/22 because it is the best 10/22 build video I have seen so far. Thank you!
I have built several 10/22's using the BRN-22 receivers and have found them to be excellent. I think they are better than the factory Ruger receiver. The fit and finish are very good and they function flawlessly. The factory Ruger bolt, charging handle/rod and trigger assembly fit perfectly. I like how they are drilled for a cleaning rod from the rear of the receiver, something that Ruger should do. Every once in a while they go on sale. Nice build.
I built mine last year and it’s one of my favorite 22s. Brn milled receiver, faxon fluted bull 16” barrel, tandemkross bolt, (someone’s, can’t remember) match trigger group, Magpul stock with a simple Burris 3-9x40.
Nice. I will order parts and build one shortly. Surprised at how easy it is. Thanks.
I've been shooting the fine little Ruger 10/22 carbine for half a century, and I've never used any aftermarket magazines. The standard 10 round magazines have always been just fine for me and the whole family. (When ever we buy one of these guns we ALWAYS get two "Extra" magazines. Thus esch guns have a total of 3 magazines in our family!)
Great video!
Great Video as always.
Nice looking rifle!
Great video again thank you.
Thanks for all the new content guys! Keep it going.
I just found my next project! Great video
Nice explanation of how to build
I love your videos
This was fun! Waiting for the BRN-AT-4 build.
I’m a subscriber. I don’t wanna miss an episode of the Hair of the 2A
So many options, I built mine with the barreled receiver a few years ago and that was one less option to worry about. It's a fun and simple project and shoots well. I need to build another.
I’ve built two with Brownells Receivers,take down and a traditional, love them
Nice.
That's way easier looking than I had imagined it would have been. Perhaps a future tinker job when I'm bored.
I just love to watch your videos Caleb...... You just make everything look so easy....... I built 2 AR's already by watching you...... Now I need a another 10/22 Thanks Caleb!! LOL!!
I put a carbon fiber 17 mach 2 barrel on my last build turned out good
I saw this video and immediately jumped to the end. I was really curious what torque settings you used on the screw that holds in the barrel/trigger. I have a beautiful 10/22 Tactical Solutions X-Ring in a Hogue stock that I have shot extensively on a 50 yard range. I always use the same ammo (CCI 22LR Mini Mags), but can get wildly different results depending on the torque settings of that one, single screw. When set correctly, I've had dime-sized groupings - and I've been able to repeat that several times. But if it's too tight or too loose - it's all over the place. When you clean the rifle, you have to remove the screw and then redo the torque settings. Which is fine, but it doesn't always seem to work... I find myself checking the torque and readjusting at the range quite often. Could it be a problem with the stock? Ruger and other builders don't share any specs on this (that I've seen but I admit I haven't looked lately) and it seems to be really critical to the performance of this rifle. I'm curious if you have any recommendations or can be more specific about that setting? Thanks!
Ordered an BRN 22 action this week BTW
You're using the Magpul Hunter/X22 stock, but you don't talk about using the harmonic dampeners that are included with the stock, and whether to free float or not...

Nice video, I've built many ar15s but interest in 1022 has occurred occasionally.
nice
I like the stocks! However I would like a BRN.22 stock that looks more of like a tactical style, or better yet to look more like the BRN180 now that would be cool especially if it were to accept the CMMG style .22 mags, or obviously the Ruger 10-22 mags Anyways great build. I hope to one day be able to build a BRN.22, preferably with a more tactical style stock though.
Would love to get a Brownells Bolt...... if only they were in stock.
If you install the barrel first there is NO worries about destroying the extractor ! 😳🥴🤔
The backpacker Year 2024.😊
I love Ruger 1022. The one thing I don’t like about it is the 110 round GSG they don’t work reliably. Especially with my binary trigger.
I wonder if you used a correct size socket to help get that bolt buffer in the hole.
I realy like the rocket launcher by the safe
Wow, need a video on a Brownells out of stock build kit…….
Did i miss you mentioning the feature on the magpul stock that you can switch around an insert depending on what diameter barrel you're using?
I'm interested to know about the firing pin and extractor in the Brownells bolt compared to say Vorquartsen or others in the same quality range. Would it be an upgrade to replace the Brownells firing pin and extractor with something else?
I assume the stainless ish receiver is also available with a rail? I just saw magpul has a new, less expensive (than the hunter) stock that looks pretty good. I got my first 10/22 (base model, wood furniture) and I'm trying to figure out what direction I want to go first. I'll probably end up building several different ones eventually

I'm thinking one in a magpul stock, one as an M1 carbine replica and one as a bullpup
Does the Brownells company offer a left hand version of the railed receiver and sear/bolt ,A barrel can always be milled to accommodate the left hand ejection !
I'm intrigued with the tool set, where do I get that?
Can someone tell be how Brownells can post videos like this, but other gun youtubers can't have any accessory install videos?

Now that Ruger owns Marlin, they really need to bring the microgroove barrels back.
Does the Brownell's receiver work on the 10/22 Breakdown?
Does this reciever have a cleaning rod hole, for cleaning barrel from the breech end?

Prefered, free floated barrel pinned in the front on that stock?? Know the issues with 22lr, har has worked the best in that stock
Having an issue mounting my barrel in my brn 10/22 barrel is Faxon suggestion

My Problem with the BRN receiver is the barrel hole is huge. Had to peen my FJ Feddersen barrel at 12,3,6, and 9 o’clock with two peenings in those locations to tighten up the fit.
Take down options?
Caleb, I purchased the exact Magpul X-22 Stock and Stripped Standard Receiver from Brownell's (along with additional required parts). The Receiver (with Ruger Barrel and BX Trigger attached) WILL NOT assemble into the Magpul Stock. Something is wrong or out of spec. Do you have any advice? Brad
I want to do a 10/22 build
Are the brn22 receivers, bolts and receivers still oem azimuth technologies?
I am a total noob - in this build, is the barrel free floated?
My accuracy is best with the action screw set to 15 inch pounds. Varies on each rifle I guess.
Ok, 10-22 is cool but is that a L.A.W. behind you? Can you show us how to build that? Is there a BRN-LAW kit?
What's the build cost with these parts?

How much you got? 😂
I've done a couple10/22 builds using 80% receivers, JWH Custom bolts, and Acculite barrels. Sorry Caleb, for not using Brownells' stuff. Anyway, the rifle build uses the Magpul stock (its nice). With the pistol build I fabricated my own chassis from aluminum and wood, looks a little steam punkish. Both shoot good. As an aside, the Ruger 25 round mags are poorly designed. The engagement points are different than the 10 round rotary mags. I had to modify the 25s to work in my pistol because they have too much side-to-side slop. The rifle build is even worse, but the 10 rounders work just fine. Brownells should market some in-house designed extended mags for Ruger 10/22s that work better than Ruger's, I'd buy those.
I have the same Brn 10/22 receiver. Can I turn mines to a pistol/charger build?

Depends on you're state laws but federally as long as it's a bare reciever you should be fine. If you already have a rifle barrel or stock on it, you can't legally make it a pistol. EDIT: I am not a lawyer

I built a custom 10/22 as well about two years ago. Wanted the BRN receiver but used a Ruger one instead because no BRN were in stock.
The Victor Company stock i bought did not fit properly... and the owner has given me nothing but a hard time... there was a huge gap between the barrel and the stock...
Only if parts were in stock...
Sir good day watching from Philippine ..help me to buy nice scope
I have a Bergara BXR Carbon I use for SCSA. The problem getting the bolt in is because the charging handle get cocked and it won't fit into the bolt. I took a right angle flat blade screw driver and thinned it down. Going in from the ejection port I use the right angle screw driver to square up the charging handle and the bolt drops right in.
Is the receiver U.S made?

it looks really good but it would be over $1000 with that kind of money I can get a 22 Henry lever action with all the bells and whistles so what would the point just the bolt action receiver is $600 this more like a novelty!!!
The never in stock receivers lmao
No need to buy a 10/23 just buy alls the different parts and build it.
