    So my dad got one of these a while back, and I don't think I've ever cared for it. It shoots okay, but I can't help but feel like I'm holding a youth rifle or something, and my dad must feel the same way, because he's gotten one of those rubber butt add-ons. I was wondering, though, if anyone knows of a stock I could get him that would give it a longer butt and forearm. I mean, I've seen kits to make these look like any number of assault rifles, but is there anything more practical?

    Here are some stocks from Midway. It looks like some of them have adjustable lengths of pull.

    I still have the 10/22 I got as a teenager and, though I don't shoot it much anymore, it is a fine-shooting little gun and one I'll never part with.

    Yeah, but with that adjustable stock, you're becoming evil as you now have an assault weapon.

    Oh, rite. An 'assault weapon'. As in, a weapon usable for resisting police state aggression. Can't have that.

    Not going to lie - I'm kind of disappointed at the lack of a plain jane wood stock for this gun that costs significantly less than the rifle itself cost. Kind of wish I knew how to make a stock. :/
