Top 5 DIY 10/22 Upgrades For Under $50

In today's video, I'm excited to share with you the top five affordable upgrades for your Ruger 10/22, each under $50. These upgrades are my personal top pics in the category, so lets get started! 

First up, we have the Extended Mag Release from Crossfire. I chose this particular model because it offers great value for its price. It features a wide paddle made of durable polymer, which makes accessing the mag release much easier, especially in competitive shooting scenarios. This upgrade is affordable and it just works.

Next, let's talk about the Fiber Optic Sight Set from Williams, also known as "Fire Sights." These sights glow brightly, with a green rear dot and a red front dot, making them highly visible. They're incredibly useful if you're sticking with iron sights and need that quick sight acquisition.

Moving on, we have the TandemKross 'Shock Block' Bolt Buffer. This simple rubber buffer replaces the factory metal one, dampening the bolt's motion to reduce wear on your rifle. It's an easy install and worthwhile in my opinion.

Another fantastic upgrade is the Extended Charging Handle by Volquartsen. This isn't just a larger handle; it's designed with a polished rod that smooths out the action, making the cycling of your rifle much more fluid.

Lastly, we have the Automatic Bolt Release from Volquartsen. This clever device simplifies the bolt catch operation, allowing you to release the bolt by simply pulling back, rather than wrestling with the standard Ruger mechanism. This is a small quality of life change but made a huge difference for me. 

These upgrades are all about making your 10/22 more efficient, effective, and enjoyable to use. Whether you're shooting for fun or competition, these modifications will definitely enhance your experience without stretching your budget.
