Reviews & Ratings for ProMag Archangel 556 Conversion Stock, Ruger 10/22, Extended Monolithic Rail Forend — 16 reviews — Page 1

Needs little fitting. But was pretty easy. YouTube vids available.

I bought this kit to dress up my Ruger 10/22 that I’ve had for decades. The kit is solid and feels great. However, the adjustable stock is way to tight and is difficult to extend and shorten. I used a Dremel to clean up the edges, get rid of some flashing and put a very light coat of grease on it. It’s better, is still way too tight. Yes, I actually removed the set screws for adjusting the tolerance. They made zero difference. The lower took a little bit of adjusting and I ended up needing to heat the upper in the oven to get it to fit. Once that was done, I put the remaining hardware and am pleasantly surprised even with some of the mods I needed to make.

It was very east to install. Gives my 10/22 a whole new feel. Very rugged and durable.

Shiped in 2 pieces with all hardware, has the feel of carbon fiber plastic. Trigger and barrel assembly went right in to stock end with a little finesse. For end was a different story. Very, very tight, with only half the screws lining up. Had to heat, twist and force the two pieces together. After full assembly barrel wasn’t even close to being centered in for grip. Top rail is not flat, not sure how this will effect sighting in. I like the look but don’t think I would recommend. To be able to clean, you must disassemble the entire stock assembly including unmounting optic to get to the 4 screws that secure rail to receiver. I stripped one screw trying to get lined up. Not sure what’s going to happen with repeated disassembly and reassembly. All said and done, has that cool tactical look, single 10 round mags seem to stick, longer ones work fine with a little pull. Barrel needs flash hider to finish off the look. Stock has to be pinned per state requirement. Optics planet has a 30 day return policy , hope fully get it sighted in and see if it holds. Will update review if any problems with stock or Optics Planet arise.

It is a nice little stalk it's definitely like a full size AR it's not for kids I mean it can be for kids but it's not like specifically for them so adults can have fun with it it's pretty sweet. It was a little bit hard on insulation getting the top piece over to clip over the top of the receiver but sliding it from the front towards the back really helped me

These Archangel stocks are way better built than they were back in the day the only problem that I did have with it is it's a very tight fit but for me the easiest way I found is the top rail the slides over the barrel I slid it over the front of the receiver with the bolt pulled back until it hit the bolt handle and then I just kicked the back corner up over the bolt and then back down and then it slid all the way back trying to put it over from the top was a little too difficult

Product was easy to install just takes some elbow grease and a little oil to sip over the top. Only thing I noticed is the hand guard is slightly off center just after ther the pic rail where it mounts to the reciever. The rail on top of the receiver is straight so shouldn't effect accuracy and I am going to try and straighten it with a heat gun as the instructions advise. Also took some heat and pressure on the mag well to "flair it out" a little bit because my factory 10 rd mags wouldn't eject and couldn't pry out easy with the extended mag release in the way. All easy to fix and they fall out easy and stay in solid so if you have a brain and are careful of course. (Don't do it while it's on the gun) lol for the price I didn't expect perfection but it's solid and the minor thing I listed were expected and fixed easily so 9.5/10 for me.

This is my fourth time buying this for my sons - each has their own 10/22 and they enjoy the upgrade to look like Dad! The monolith is a much improved version of the shorter original. It was a great idea but looked kinda goofy with the barrel end attachment. And without it, the barrel was awkwardly long. The monolith makes the 10/22 look way better. It's easy to assemble and takes only about 10-20 minutes I guess, depending on your previous experience upgrading your 10/22. Personally, I've seen all my sons really enjoy shooting it with the archangel stock. One note to be aware of: be ready to apply a little sandpaper to the telescoping stock. Of the four I've had, at least two of them needed a bit of light sanding since they were binding in the shortest position. Otherwise, it's a great stock.

Was easy to install and feels good when shooting. I like the adjustable butt stock.

You'll see comments here and there calling these things junky but I can't see that at all. The polymer is solid, nicely formed, and quite hefty when all put together. The shoulder stock in particular feels high quality. It's solid and has a nice rubber-sleeve butt pad.

I will say it was a it of a pain to put on and will be even more so to take apart when the time comes for a thorough cleaning. You must be sure to remove your front and rear sight completely. After that, head up the chamber area with a hair dryer for about 30 seconds. Nice and warm to the touch. The receiver should pop right in once the plastic is pliable enough. After that it's just a matter of putting all the screws in. It's really only a tough process for the first timer.

I certainly wouldn't say it's the best stock for the 10/22, but it is a really cool and fun upgrade for AR fans. It adds a decent bit of weight and thickness to the light and slim Ruger classic rifle, so be sure it's what you want before making the purchase. I had a 10/22 gathering dust in a locker with an old wooden stock that I didn't like at all, so for the price this turned it into a snazzy little tacticool rifle.
