Caleb's BRN-22 Build

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.
