Great stock at a low price

Nice and solid with a good balance. The extra mag storage is nice and doesn't rattle. I like that the barrel extension is protected in the stock when taken down to keep it clean and undamaged. The friend lock seems durable and locks into the rear stock firmly.

Brownells/Tacsol 10/22 build

The X-22 backpacker stock looks sweet paired with the Tactical Solutions SB-X takedown barrel and worked great with the brn-22 flat top takedown receiver matched with the Brownells bolt and Ruger bx trigger.

Would not expect anything less

Would not expect anything less from Magpul, Brownells price was the lowest I could find the shipping was fast and the packaging was excellent.

Magpul o.d. Green backpacker stock

Great stock, light weight, comes with hi and lo cheek riser. I added a sling mount to the forend and attached a Magpul bipod. Works great. Thank you Brownells for the best prices out there!

Solid!

Very nice! In the running for the best simple mod I've ever made to a gun. I also added two QD sling mounts which really topped it off. The rear QD socket mount is a little on the close side to the butt of the stock, so you might have some minor interference with a swivel attached when shouldering; shouldn't be a big deal at all. The mechanism to lock the barrel into the stock is a great invention, rock solid, and gives an affirmative feeling when clipping it in. Still fits as one piece into the Ruger Takedown backpack but likely would need to split it into two pieces if you have any kind of optic. The OD green is super nice in person too, the stock photos don't do it justice.

very cool

After waiting what seemed like forever...it was worth the wait. Installed in 5 minutes. Replaced the stock cheek riser with the taller one which set up perfectly with my red dot. Takedown works exactly the same. Once the Magpul optic mount arrives I'll move the optic out to the barrel.
