Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Fragmented and proprietary
Review: Mark White can clearly upgrade the 10/22 into an interesting firearm, but not likely applicable to most 10/22 owners. Some of this book might be useful, and most might be interesting, but it lacks basics and dwells on the esoteric.

White spends considerable space with barrel machining, which most of us cannot do, and suppressors, which, though interesting, are marginally legal, require federal registration, illegal in many states, and beyond the machining capabilities of most 10/22 owners.

Things we CAN do are generally ignored, especially installing new barrels and stocks, which are easily within the capabilities of most 10/22 owners and given only passing mention in this "Ultimate" guide book. There is NO mention of procedures for checking inletting on stocks, barrel floating, or determining allowable contact points between the receiver and barrel and stock, all critical to the 10/22 owner who might purchase a "100% drop-in" barrel and stock combination.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Short and Sweet
Review: The book's short, but covers just about anything that you'd really be interested in doing to a 10/22. You don't have to be a gunsmith to understand what he's talking about, but you do have to know how a semi-automatic rifle works. It covers barrel improvements, "fixing" the receiver for easier cleaning, trigger improvements, and excellent, brief information on .22LR ammunition and semi-automatic rifles in general. This book doesn't teach you how to be a gunsmith, work a lathe, or turn the 10/22 into a machine-gun. But, the ideas for improving the 10/22 are worth the price many times over. (...)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb Book
Review: This book is incredible. I have gone through a gunsmithing program and can assure this book contains well written information. It even contains tips on how to make a good Class III Ruger 10/22

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best, but still lacking
Review: This is the most complete treatise covering the 10/22 that I have been able to find. While the 10/22 is a fairly simple rifle, there are a great many modifications that may be made. This book covers most of the modifications in a general sense and a few in detail. Those looking for an 'advanced' users manual will be elated. Those looking for something akin to Jerry Kunhausen's gunsmithing series will be disappointed. Excellent: The notes on maintenance and general 'sprucing up' of the action, as well as disassembly work. Disappointing: The trigger job information will improve the trigger in terms of creep, but not really reduce its' incredibly heavy pull. (The author simply states that new (pre-jobbed) hammers may be had at great expense. Overall, worth having if you're a 10/22 buff, but ripe to be replaced if someone wants to try.
