Kind of like the 556 Speedmaster...if my memory serves me correct.
Now I had a buddy who had a Nylon 66 bolt gun, and the receiver was fastened directly to the barrel. I wouldn't mind having on of those.
Don't really know why since these are my squirrel pieces.

I just got home from sending about five hundred rounds down range with my trusty old, original Ruger 10/22. Probably shot another two hundred or so with the Mark II.
I went to the range with a friend from work that I'd never been shooting with. (hell, it's been three years since I've shot at all). He had never shot a Mark II and was blown away by the feel and accuracy of it. He was also a bit shocked at how accurate the little stock 10/22 shoots. I believe he'll be buying a Mark series soon.
On the other hand, my friend is into the new military type of weapons and brought out his FN SCAR light and I must say I've considered selling stereo gear to get one. Nice weapon in .223 with no recoil. Their "Heavy" version SCAR in .308 just beat out the M16 and will be the new rifle for the military.
