The 10/22 Takedown is a pretty phenomenal system,
and should 'mate' solid and perfect for many years.
Those that have seen it know what I'm speaking of.
I have many manufacturers'.22's, and the 10/22 is as good as any.
But, there are lots of mods for the 10/22
Of course Volquartsen is probably the most well known, I prefer others
these days, although I do have Volquartsen.
This is my new favorite 'go to' guy for 10/22 charging bolts
