One of the best things about the Ruger 10/22 is that there are endless ways to customize one to suit your exact needs or desires. For me, that means heavy aftermarket barrels, replacement trigger groups, and colorful aftermarket laminated stocks. So when I saw Altamont’s new KKC stock at the 2015 SHOT Show, I had to have one. It took a while, but I finally acquired one and it was worth the wait . . .

The KKC stock is named after its inventor, a Norwegian named Kjetil Kverndokk. According to his website, he invented the stock in January 1998 as part of a college dissertation project from The Institute of Industrial Design at The Oslo School of Architecture and Design in Norway. Mr. Kverndokk began commercial production of his rifle stock in 2005. In the early years, he sanded, stained and mounted the stocks himself. He eventually partnered with Altamont to produce the stocks for the U.S. market. Altamont showed off a prototype at the 2015 SHOT show:
