DIY speed release TG2000 for ruger 10/22

dax121

after useing a speed release on my old 10/22 i wanted one for my new ruger. however nobody makes one :mad:
so i decided to make one myself ill show the process and hopefully it will be of use to some one.
i start off cutting down the extended mag release on the TG2000

2nd i cut a strip of stainless to make the lever. i cut it the same width as the trigger guard.
the piece is put into a vice and bent untill i got the shape of the trigger guard.
i cut out a piece to allow use of the bolt hold open. without this cut it would be very hard to operate the bolt hold open.

3rd i drilled 2 holes in the lever and in the mag release.
i used 2 small bolts and nuts to fix both parts togeather.
the head of bolts were covered with car body filler as were the sides.


these are the the nuts that secure the lever to the mag release. their is no need to cover them as they wont be seen. but thread lock is a must.

4th i put masking tape on the trigger itself.
i then place body filler unto the masking tape.
the lever is then installed and pushed down unto the filler.
it is allowed to dry and the filler bonds itself to the lever.
a little pull and they come apart.
then just sand off the edges where the filler spilled over.
this give you a close clean edghe between the 2 parts.

the piece is primmed now and drying so ill paint it and post pictures of it installed.
any questions feel free to ask
