Building a custom Ruger 10/22

What year did the 10-22 start coming with plastic parts? Thanks.
Larry

I'm thinking right around 2008ish. Mostly the trigger group and the barrel band (on the models that have a barrel band).

I've had a bunch over the years, but currently just these three.

All have MAGPUL stocks and Shaw barrels.
 
Dave you built a nice gun. I wasn't looking to build a 10/22 but stumbled on one with internal Volquartsen parts, a midway barrel and Boyd stock. It was priced cheap so it's in the safe. The barrel seemed too heavy for carrying around the woods, about 3 lbs. Ordered a Volquartsen tension barrel with the aluminum sleeve and will install today hopefully. The Midway barrel is very accurate and will be for sale soon. Fun gun so far, hope.22 ammo comes back cause this gun eats it fast. Enjoy your gun, Larry

Lots of nice rifles here. I really like shooting 10/22s. I do have a stock one, but my fave is still this one that I bought in roughly 1990 from Kay Clark at a match we were both shooting. The action is great and the Clark Custom barrel is a real tack driver out to 100 yards, which is as far as I've shot it. At the same match I bought the stock from Mike Turner because it fits great and it was purty too. The scope is a Burris 6-24 Rimfire scope, so it's great for dialing in little targets far away.

 
I just picked up my Ruger 10/22 carbine w/Viridian EON 3-9x40 Scope today at the LGS. Lots of good input here. Looking forward to some plinking and varmint hunting with it.

OP - If you haven't touched the trigger yet, I would take a look at the Ruger factory "BX" replacement trigger. They run about $60, and are easy to install. I put one on my 10/22 International, and it made a big difference for the better.

Here in south central Oregon (east side) we call those sage rats "squeaks". They are devastating to an alfalfa field, and multiply fast.

Please let me know if you or any farmers you know, need any help with population control.
I would be happy to bring a friend or 2 and can put a serious dent in them in just a day or 2 of shooting.
