Further increasing the modularity and adaptability of the Ruger 10/22 platform, Rival Arms of Dallas Texas has just recently unveiled their new R-22 Billet Aluminum chassis. The R-22 promises to take your standard 10/22 rifle and turn it into a serious “precision plinking machine.” This goes along with their recent release of the Rival Arms R-700 for the Remmington 700 series of rifles.
Here’s some info from the press release:
The R-22 Billet Aluminum 10/22 Chassis by Rival Arms
KG Gun Kote FDE
Specifications:
Fits Ruger® 10/22® Barreled Actions
Allows use of AR-15 Buffer Tube, Stock, and Pistol Grip
Fits factory and aftermarket barrels (1-inch max diameter)
The Rival Arms R-22 Precision Chassis System takes your standard Ruger® 10/22® style rimfire rifle and turns it into a serious precision plinking machine. CNC-machined from billet aluminum designed to accept most Ruger® 10/22® receivers without any modification for a true drop-in fit. Standard AR-15 stock and pistol grip compatibility allows the user to customize the fit and feel of their rifle. The integration of the M-LOK® accessory mounting system brings versatility to the system that will take your favorite rimfire rifle to the next level.

The R-22 Chassis system can accommodate up to a 1″ diameter barrel and features a scalloped forend texture and weighs in at only 16 ounces. In addition, the chassis system will accept most AR-15 pistol grips and makes accommodation for a 1-3/16″-16 Mil-Spec Buffer Tube so that all types of stocks can be used based on your preference. The R-22 also includes 11 total M-LOK slots for the mounting of various accessories but I absolutely love that they’ve also chosen to include a tapped sling swivel stud mount so that a sling can still be used.
Anodized Black
The R-22 Chassis System is available now from the Rival Arms website and is compatible with most Ruger 10/22 style receivers. The Chassis is available in three colors, Anodized Matte Black, KG Gun Kote FDE, and KG Gun Kote Satin Grey. The Chassis is available for $254.99 and is at the time of writing in stock.
