Hi everybody, I'm Plinkeriffic and if I had more money I'd be a better 22aholic. I'm afraid y'all will just have to let my enthusiasm offset my limited aresenal and knowledge. I'm also sorry to relate that I let a good one out of my care for too long and it got pawned by a 'friend'. It was a Remington Nylon 77 (clip-fed autoloader, aka the Mohawk 10c). It was given to me by my grandfather, which makes it doubly sad, but I have recently come back into contact with the guy so who knows. Anybody got a good one taking up space?
The first gun I bought was a Browning Buckmark in '94, and I don't know what to call it other than it resembles what is called the 'camper' (6" barrel) but it has a barrel with flat sides. Unlike what I've seen in manuals it has the pin mounted in the trigger/hammer assembly and the extractor is a separate piece with a TINY spring/rod/claw assemply that has remarkable flight characteristics (can't believe I was able to find it again...twice). Anybody else know or have one? This thing is a fantastically accurate plinker's delight! Anyone seen clips for it that hold more than 12? Even with marginal care until recently it's never been a problem except when a very occasional round doesn't fire, but always has when reloaded. I think they've gone up in price since then by about 1/3.
Just got a Ruger 10/22 and am looking forward to getting the right rear sight/maybe a scope for it to sight it in properly. The rear flip-sights seem chincy and ineffectual, which is too bad because I prefer open sights and don't want to put a scope on it out of necessity. Anyone found a good open rear sight for it? Seems like I've seen folks talk about the 'peep' aperture sight, any 10/22 junkies have a word or advice?
Don't have any pictures. Could use some advice on the best, highest-capacity magazines (value? price?).
Thanks for sharing; keep coming back, it works!
