                      Rifles, Conversions & Shotguns

WARNING! Be advised you must obtain a permit from the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) to own and use full-auto weapons, silencers and
other "restricted" weapons, and in some states, to make and use explosives
and/or explosive devices. BATF requires a separate licensing application.
BATF guidelines are included in some books that show how to convert or make
restricted weapons - when BATF regulations apply.

Other temporary conversions, may or may not require BATF licensing. If not,
the author usually mentions that fact. If the author fails to mention it,
be warned that it might be illegal if you don't have a permit for it!
Please check with BATF guidelines before you make any conversions. ALSO,
check your own state laws for licensing requirements.

Just because the information is legally available in books by virtue of the
First Amendment (Freedom of the Press) doesn't mean it's legal to do it,
make it, or use it!  Publishers of such books usually mention in each
book's description they are for HISTORICAL AND/OR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY.
That lets them off the hook. (You're on your own if you violate any laws!)

SELECT FIRE 10/22, by Wayne Thorbrugh
The brainchild of a retired military ordnance man, the designs contained
herein will enable you to convert your Ruger 10/22 to full auto.

Having developed the design into a Class II manufacturing business, the
author knows that they work. After more than 100,000 rounds fired, he has
yet to encounter a parts failure in his Ruger conversions.

Two configurations are described and accompanied by detailed illustrations
and step-by-step directions; the front-mounted bolt arrestor and the rear
arrestor. A good drill press is needed to devise either of these two
methods, but reliability in undeniable.

THE STURM RUGER 10/22 RIFLE AND .44 MAGNUM CARBINE, By Duncan Long.
Legendary reliability and classic design are the hallmarks of the Ruger
10/22 rifle and .44 Magnum Carbine. Originally conceived as a practice
companion for the .44 Carbine, the 10/22 is considerably cheaper to plink
with than its center-fire brother. But the 10/22's qualities have made it
one of the most popular .22 rifles in the world.

In this in-depth look at both weapons, the author details the elegant
simplicity of the Ruger design and offers specs, troubleshooting
procedures, ammunition recommendations, and includes a lengthy chapter on
on the many aftermarket accessories available. This wealth of add-ons can
transform the 10/22 into a lightweight camping gun, compact survival rifle
or even a quasi-assault rifle.
