I just measured again and my 10/22 is 13.5" to the tip of the trigger, the American is 14" to the tip of the trigger. What started this whole issue is the eye relief on my scope because the American doesn't have enough for a comfortable cheek weld. Looking them over some more I noticed the...

Didn't know this! Thanks for the tip.

I don't trust my measuring technique. The factory synthetic stock measures 14.5" and I assumed the standard LOP for the Boyd's stock would be the same though it's not advertised that way. So I started to doubt I am measuring it correctly. I don't want to order a custom stock until I know what...

I recently purchased a Ruger American Rimfire with the synthetic stock. Not a big fan of the stock and it doesn't fit me very well. The length of pull is about an inch longer than my other 22 cal rifles. On Boyd's site they show the standard length of pull at 13.75 inches. Can somebody please...

not all that uncommon on 22's due to lousy ammo

I know you want to compare the Marlin and Savage but the Ruger 10/22 is better than both for the same money.

Tomorrow I am going take it to the test range to see how it groups. Being that it's only a .22, I don't know that there would be any safety concerns. I know one thing though. They will have to mark it down to cost before I will consider buying it. Had the guy properly inspected this rifle, we...

No telling exactly how it happened for sure since it could have happened 50 years ago. I would guess though that a bullet stuck in the barrel without the shooter knowing and fired another round behind it.

My thinking is for $250 I could possibly clean it up and throw it in a friends hot bluing tank for next to nothing. Then strip and refinish the stock myself as well. If the value has already been trashed with the bulged barrel then I can't make it any worse by restoring its luster.

So I thought I finally found a great deal on a 39A. The rifle is rough in the sense it has minor pitting all over, the barrel is all patina but functions 100% and is complete minus the butt plate. I work at a shop that buys, sells and trades and this was part of a collection that was recently...

I actually tried anodizing aluminum parts myself in the past but gave up when I couldn't achieve the correct color. I used black Rit die but could only get a dark green almost OD green color... it was a nice color if that was what I wanted but I needed black. :(

We cracked open a new bucket of Oxynate #7 so the salt bath was fresh to begin with.

The system we were using has a cold water tank, boiling water tank, bluing tank and water displacing oil tank. I guess what I need to figure out is WHY the bluing had a "marble" look to it to begin with. The metal polish cleaned up the marbling fairly quick with little effort but I realize that...

What's the best generic degreaser? The stuff we used was from brownells and my friend wasn't impressed with it. We were using the local gunsmiths tanks. Would break cleaner or acetone work well to clean the metal?

So yesterday was the first time I had been around hot bluing using oxynate #7 and it was quite interesting. This was performed on a Winchester 62A which I had hand polished and sanded out all the rough spots on for weeks. All the parts turned out real nice except for the barrel and receiver. I...
