Ruger 10/22 improved?

[norsk]

Best accuracy gain by price:

1)DIY trigger job

2)Remove front band and use a strip of tiger tape instead

3) have the barrel stub knurled,it will fit into the receiver much closer and you just snug up the clamp and loc-tite down.

The Bren was my father's favourite weapon of choice.
I've shot the L4 Bren (7.62mm) fortunately only on the range and not in any confrontation and can understand why he thought so.

My preferred stalking rifle .

As for the sten- great fun but couldn’t hit anything and guilty of the occasional ‘run-away’ - only stopping when the mag runs out

My father mentioned "accidental" discharges with the Sten hence his hatred of it plus its inaccuracy at anything over more than a very short distance.

Back in the days when we could still have semi-auto rifles and before the great pistol steal there was a guy who occasionally shot with our club as a guest. He was ex army and a M.O.D. police officer who had quite a collection of ex military weapons. He had a MG34 and a MG42 plus a Sten gun, all semi auto only, or at least supposedly so.
I never personally witnessed it but allegedly he discovered that if you downloaded rounds for the Sten so that the round was just sufficient to cycle the action but not engage the sear it would fire full auto rather than semi auto as it was supposed to. I do know that he had to surrender the Sten sometime before the ban on semi auto rifles became law.

P.S. I once had a .22 Star pistol that it was possible to bend the disconnector resulting in it firing full auto.

Assuming your barrel is in a good way, and relatively clean, the number one thing you can (and should) do first is use quality match grade ammo. It does make a huge difference.

Do that first - then take it from there.
