New 10/22 Akins Accelerator Stock

[MPfiveengineer]

A few of you guys at the silencer shoot have seen my 10/22 bump fire device ( www.firefaster.com ) . My main two complaints are that the stock they make for it is garbage and my integrally suppressed 10/22 barrel is a little too heavy for it to function reliably.

I came up with a solution for both problems, SBR the 10/22 and make a new stock for it. The 10/22 SBR'd with a 4-inch barrel will shoot regular ammo at subsonic speeds and remain light enough with a muzzle mounted suppressor to work with the device. Also with the new stock I should be able to take the red dot sight off the action so it does not move with it. With a new stock I can also beef-up the mount for the Akins device. So here is what I have designed so far. I originally planed on making one of these for myself but my post on silencertests.com has gotten enough interest that we may make more than one. I am going to make the first one in the SLS machine at work probably some time next week. Do you guys have any input for changes to the stock?

Looks good! nice renderings!

After shooting your AA at the silencer shoot I really liked it and almost bought one myself. I just couldn't see spending that much on a stock that (besides the acceleration) I didn't really like. Now, your design makes it look a lot better. So I would be very interested in seeing how the final design turns out. Also interested in it for a non accelerated 10/22.

Now if I could only get the firefaster guy to sell just the accelerator part and not the stock.

As far as suggestions, I think the thread at ST.com pretty much covered a lot of the concerns.

Any Idea on how much it will cost to produce each one?

Make the rail a tad bit lower so you can get a decent cheek weld.

You gonna machine it from aluminum or plastic?

There is no machining, the first one will be built in an SLS machine ( http://www.nuigalway.ie/rp/SLS%20Process.htm ). It is going to be made of DuraForm GF, similar to glass-filled nylon.

Low carb rifle stocks?

Oh, Akins, not Atkins.



Carry on, it looks spiffy.

there is an excellent in the november issue of small arms review (SAR). It shows you how it works and stuff.
I noticed they started advertising in there as well...

And I saw the Dragon man shoot DVD being advertised in there too!

Still contemplating on getting an akins my self. 900 to 1200 for about 600 rpm is not bad, and no $200 transfer fee.

I made it. It needs some paint and SBR paperwork to be complete but I am happy with it. :mrgreen:

that turned out pretty cool

Cool!

That white color looks almost ghost-like.
