[...] Ares-22RCU converts your Ruger pistol into a carbine. Neat. But a 10/22 is cheaper. [...]

Cool. But I’ll build my own.

Can you help me? I’m trying to subscribe to your RSS feed, but can’t seem to figure it out. Did you have that option in your blog? Really like it, BTW.

Are these conversions available yet?

WOW!!! I remember when I was in college looking at an American Rifleman magazine that did the same thing with a high standard. I’d love something like this, but the wire stock looks cheap, copies the early 1970’s high standard conversion and well, it just looks like any other wannabe tactical carbine… Try using the same quality action and decent idea, but produce something unique that just make me cry out I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!!! This just doesn’t do it, sorry.

“Overall Length: 20.5″ (stock closed)”
Assuming the system will fire while the stock is closed, doesn’t that put it in SBR territory?

article was interesting, even since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last week.
