I am glad you finally got through the problems. To give you the good news though, I have never met anyone yet who did not have a lot of fun with their 10/22. They are great rifles for plinking or target shooting. I would imagine they are great for small game (squirrel or rabbit) too.
There are lots of accessories out there for them also. Stock replacements, barrel replacements, etc. The only thing I really strongly suggest is a couple larger magazines and a loader for them. The ten shot mag is kind of small for such a fun gun to shoot.
PS. Having posted that I don't know anyone who did not like their 10/22, I have to warn you that someone is now sure to post about problems with theirs.
No doubt. They came out just a year or two before I started selling guns and they were good sellers for us, but not as popular as the Marlin and Glenfield .22 semi-autos. We sold hundreds and hundreds of those. You are correct about accessories for the 10/22. I'm looking at a trigger replacement for it, but that's probably about the extent of changes I'll make, beside topping it with an optic of some sort. I think the only long gun with more optional after market parts then the 10/22 maybe the AR platform.
I really like my 10/22 Takedown. Received a few upgrade parts for Christmas last year- was fun disassembling it and installing the new parts. The BX trigger drop in was really simple. The best part was going to the range with it afterwards and everything worked!
