Anyone have any experience with the Arch Angel kits for the 10/22? I'm thinking about getting the kid one for Christmas for his 10/22.
looking better is a matter of opinion. Every gun I've seen with the Arch Angel kit on it looks like a kit gun. But for a kid it may be cool for him. I've seen quite a few and have heard good things about fitment on them. I've heard very few bad things about them.
You might look into the tapco sets. They look very nice once they are installed. The arch angel looks too fake for me but depending on his age, he would probably like either one.
The Archangel was recommended to me by a coworker, but I'm seriously considering the Blackhawk Axiom instead.
I just mounted my 10/22 into a Nordic components AR22 setup. It is incredible. Fits like a glove and accepts all AR pistol grips, stocks & fore grips. Stupid expensive (more than the gun) but I can say its a total transformation. Makes my actual AR a little jealous.
Nordic kits look great. But they cost as much as my Mossberg 715T did. I am going to get a 1022 soon and do a Tapco kit. I hate to buy a new one just to take the stock off.
I ended up going a different route for Christmas gifts so I didn't get a 10/22 pimp kit. But I did end up with a beater 10/22 to play around with so we'll see what happens. As far as kits/upgrades (and even some factory options) go, I'm really picky. I can't put an AR type stock on anything that doesn't look like an AR. AR stocks don't belong on shotguns, AKs, etc. That's just me though!
