Description
The ATI AR-22 GEN2 kit takes a plain-Jane Ruger 10/22 and turns it into something that looks and handles like a modern sporting rifle. It works by wrapping your factory barreled action in a two-piece polymer receiver shroud, then building the AR-style furniture off of that. The clever part is that the forend mounts to the receiver and never touches the barrel, so your barrel stays free-floated and your accuracy doesn't take a hit. Reviewers who tested groups before and after the swap found the whole assembly stays rock solid with no wobble or flex once it's together.
What the AR-22 GEN2 Brings to Your 10/22
You get the TactLite GEN2 six-position adjustable stock with the TracLock system, which tightens up horizontal and vertical play on the buffer tube for smooth, secure length-of-pull changes without any secondary locking hardware. There's an X2-style pistol grip with a textured sure-grip backstrap and an X Series thin recoil pad that's non-slip and removable. Dual-sided QD attachment points let you run a push-button sling on either side, and the 21-inch aluminum Picatinny top rail gives you plenty of real estate for a scope, red dot, or backup irons.
Building Out the TactLite Forend
The 6-sided TactLite GEN2 synthetic forend is where you make this rifle your own. You can bolt ATI Picatinny rail sections anywhere along it to add a light, a vertical grip, or a bipod (rail segments are sold separately). A military-grade synthetic nose cone caps it off and holds up to rough handling. One thing worth knowing going in: the barrel exits the nose cone at the 12 o'clock position and sits top-center rather than dead middle, which is normal for this design.
Install is straightforward with a screwdriver and a little patience, and the kit ships with the nuts, screws, and hardware you need. It fits standard and bull barrel 10/22 rifles but does not work with the 10/22 Takedown. Made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the AR-22 GEN2 kit fit my Ruger 10/22?
It fits standard Ruger 10/22 rifles as well as those wearing a bull barrel, since the free-floated forend leaves plenty of room around the barrel. The one exception is the 10/22 Takedown, which this kit does not work with. Check which model you have before ordering.
Does the AR-22 GEN2 kit hurt accuracy?
No. The forend mounts to the receiver only and never contacts the barrel, so your barrel stays free-floated the way it should be. Folks who measured groups before and after the conversion found the rifle shoots just as well, and the rigid chassis actually gives you a more stable platform to shoot from.
How hard is the AR-22 GEN2 kit to install?
Installation is straightforward for most people with basic tools like a Phillips and flathead screwdriver, and the kit comes with all the nuts and screws you need. You'll pull your barreled action out of the factory stock, sandwich it in the two-piece shroud, and build up from there. Take your time following the instructions and you'll be good to go.
Can I add rails for a light or grip to the TactLite forend?
Absolutely. The 6-sided TactLite GEN2 forend is designed to accept ATI Picatinny rail sections wherever you want them, so you can mount a light, vertical grip, or bipod to suit your setup. Just note the rail segments are sold separately and aren't part of this kit.
