Description
The Archangel AA556R-DT is ProMag's drop-in conversion chassis that gives your Ruger 10/22 the look and handling of an AR-style flat-top carbine. It swaps out the factory wood or plastic and brings your rimfire into modern territory with rails, an adjustable stock, and a comfortable pistol grip, all without cutting, drilling, or a trip to the gunsmith. The desert tan finish gives it a distinct look that stands apart from the usual black kits.
What the AA556R-DT Brings to Your 10/22
The six-position buttstock adjusts the length of pull from 10.25 inches out to 14.25 inches, so it fits everyone from smaller-framed folks to guys running heavy winter layers. Four steel quick-detach hardpoints are molded right in for sling flexibility. Up top you get a full-length Picatinny rail for optics, with a 6 o'clock rail on the forend and slotted sides ready for extra rail sections. The ergonomic pistol grip has finger grooves and a locking storage compartment, and there's a second hidden compartment in the stock extension tube for spare parts or small gear.
Built to Take a Beating
The chassis is molded from carbon fiber and glass reinforced polymer, so it holds up to steady range time and rough handling while keeping the overall weight reasonable at around 2.5 pounds. The forend free-floats standard cut 10/22 barrels and clears bull barrels up to .920 inches in diameter, which is a nice touch if you've upgraded to a heavier tube for accuracy. The kit also throws in a polyurethane bolt buffer and an extended paddle-style magazine release, plus a polymer muzzle device that lets you mount gas-block height AR front sights on OEM barrels.
Worth Knowing Before You Build
Installation is straightforward with basic tools like a punch, screwdriver, allen wrench, and a rubber mallet, and plenty of walkthrough videos are floating around online if you want a visual. Folks who've built these say the tolerances run tight, which makes for a solid feel once assembled. It's a fun, budget-friendly way to give an old 10/22 a fresh personality for target work, plinking, and casual competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Archangel AA556R-DT require any gunsmithing to install?
No, it's a drop-in conversion that requires no permanent modification to your rifle. You'll need a few basic tools like a punch, screwdriver, allen wrench, and a rubber mallet to swap it onto your 10/22. There are plenty of installation videos online if you want to follow along step by step.
Will the AA556R-DT work with bull barrels?
Yes, the forend free-floats standard cut 10/22 barrels and clears bull barrels up to .920 inches in diameter. Keep in mind the polymer muzzle device up front is meant for standard OEM barrel profiles and won't fit over a bull barrel. The chassis itself still works great with the heavier tube.
What accessories does the Archangel AA556R-DT let me mount?
The full-length top Picatinny rail handles optics, red dots, and iron sights, while the 6 o'clock forend rail and slotted sides let you add lights, grips, or additional rail sections. The included muzzle device also lets you mount gas-block height AR-style front sights on OEM barrels. Four QD hardpoints give you flexible sling options.
Does the AA556R-DT use my factory Ruger rotary magazine?
Yes, it's designed to run the standard Ruger 10/22 rotary magazines and includes an extended paddle-style mag release. Some builders find the magwell tolerances run tight and do a little light fitting to get factory mags dropping free. Taking your time during install and checking mag function goes a long way here.
