Description
The Archangel QBD stock takes a plain-Jane Ruger 10/22 and turns it into a genuine break-down rifle, the kind you can fold in half and stuff in a backpack, a truck box, or a bug-out bag. It's built for the standard 10/22, not the factory Takedown model, so if you've got that older rifle sitting in the safe, this is a slick way to get takedown convenience without buying a whole new gun. Install is a drop-in job with no gunsmithing required, and the whole thing runs about 1.9 pounds thanks to a carbon fiber and glass-reinforced polymer build with an embedded aluminum bed block chassis holding the receiver.
What Makes the Archangel QBD Different
The heart of this stock is the patent-pending steel toggle-lever V-block clamp. Instead of fussing with tools every time you want to separate the barrel, you flip the lever and the barrel comes free. The clamp is adjustable to your specific rifle, and it's designed to return to zero when you reassemble, which matters a lot if you're running glass mounted to the receiver. Folks who've used it consistently point out how solid the lockup feels once it's dialed in, closer to a fixed stock than you'd expect from something that folds.
Storage and Fit on the QBD Stock
The barrel channel handles both standard profile barrels and heavier .920 bull barrels, so it plays nice with most aftermarket setups. When you break it down, the barrel stores right inside the buttstock and stays captive to the rifle, so you're not hunting for loose parts. There's extra room in the rear compartment too, handy for ammo, ear plugs, or a small survival kit. It also ships with an extended magazine release that makes mag swaps quicker, and the stock can be fired with the buttstock folded if you need a shorter package in a pinch.
Bottom line, this is a favorite among campers, pilots, backcountry hunters, and anyone who wants a .22 that disappears into a pack. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Archangel QBD stock fit my factory Ruger 10/22 Takedown?
No, this stock is made specifically for the standard Ruger 10/22, not the factory Takedown model. If you have a standard 10/22, this is the stock that adds break-down capability to it. Double-check which version you own before ordering.
Does the QBD stock work with bull barrels?
Yes, the barrel channel is cut to accept both standard profile barrels and heavier .920 bull barrels. Users report bull barrels can fit a touch snug at first, which most see as a good thing for a secure lockup. The integrated barrel storage will also accommodate a bull barrel when broken down.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the Archangel QBD stock?
No gunsmithing is required. It's a drop-in installation where the receiver drops into the aluminum bed block and the stock mounts up using the existing hardware. Swapping in the included extended magazine release is the most involved step, and it's a simple pin-out, pin-in job. Watching the ProMag install video first makes it even smoother.
Will the rifle hold zero after breaking it down and reassembling?
Yes, that's the whole point of the adjustable toggle-lever V-block clamp. Once you set the clamp to your rifle, it's designed to return to zero when you reassemble, even with a scope mounted to the receiver. Give it a little break-in and dial the clamp in for the best consistency.
