    Ruger 10/22 as a home-defense weapon?

    I never said it was ideal. If you have a ore powerful weapon at hand, by all means use it, I do. All I was saying was that I wouldn't feel totally defenseless with my 10/22. The .22 should not be discounted out of hand, especially if it is all you have. It can and does do some nasty things when...

    Ruger 10/22 as a home-defense weapon?

    Want proof of the .22's power to injure seriously? Set a soda bottle out at 15 yards and shoot it with a HP .22, note what happens. If all I had was the 10/22 I would trust my life to it. I got the Tactical Innovations mags for mine. They are adjustable and steel lipped and have worked...

    Stainless Ruger 10/22 receiver MELTING!!!

    To get the rest of the finish off, I would use a little more brake cleaner and some emory cloth to smooth everything out. A flathead screwdriver and an allen wrench, don't recall the size off the top of my head, is all you need for basic stripping. You do not need to disassemble the trigger...

    Stainless Ruger 10/22 receiver MELTING!!!

    A friend of mine had the same thing happen. He bought powder blast instead of the gun scrubber I told him to. The powder blast ate the clear coat and it started to 'run'. There is a chemical, no I don't know which one, in brake cleaner and powder blast, that eats the clear coat. Gun Scrubber and...

    New 10/22

    I find my 10/22 to be very accurate with nothing internally but an extended mag catch and an auto bolt release (self modified). The outside however is another story. Custom modded factory stock (stripped, sanded, opened up barrel channel a bit, and polyurethaned), 4x scope and sling. If I'm...

    Catastrophic Firearm Failures

    The only catastrophic failure I have ever witnessed was when I was about 11. My step dad had some unknown 12 ga. O/U. He fired the first round and the stock basically disintegrated. Looked more like a spear than a stock when the smoke cleared. He was picking gunpowder, wood and fragments out of...

    So, after some experience, how's your M1A Scout Squad holding up?

    I like the wood for that one.

    Polymer vs. Aluminum

    My first semi-auto was an S&W 4013, sure looked like aluminum rails to me. All the Rugers I've owned have had aluminum frames and rails except for the P95. The Ruger P95 has poly rails with no inserts at all (they are larger than the Glock rails hence the Ruger is somewhat wider than the Glock)...

    Why do Glocks have 2 triggers???

    My view on Glock's Glocks are the DAO revolver of the Auto Pistol realm. Pull the trigger = weapon will fire, don't pull the trigger = weapon is will not fire. The inset "trigger" is to prevent the trigger from cycling if you snag it on clothing, holster, etc; When was the last time you...

    Scattergun Tech worth the price ???

    I bought a used Winchester 1300, came with 8 rnd mag tube and sling studs in black synthetic furniture. I put a 6 rnd side saddle and a sling on it. Works fine for me. Cost: $100.00 for gun (including fees and sales tax) $35.00 for the sling $30.00 for the side saddle Total cost...

    Gun store tried to sell me a stolen gun.

    I would contact the owner, the detective, Calif. DOJ, and the ATF. Why? This is why; Owner: Owner may legitimately not know what some of his employees are doing and deserves the opportunity to rectify the situation. Detective: Detective may want/need to collect all history of this...

    Need to De-Edge Ruger SP101

    I ended up getting some hobby files in a few sizes from the hobby store. After a few trips to the range to "test" the edge after filing I think I got it just right now. When I first fired the gun the edge of the trigger guard on the right side (I am right handed) cut my trigger finger just...

    Need to De-Edge Ruger SP101

    I have a Dremel but it is the ancient model, and I don't have the flex shaft. Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new kit. :)

    Need to De-Edge Ruger SP101

    I just brought home a new Ruger SP101. I like the gun. But the edges around the trigger guard are a little on the sharp side. What is the best/cheapest way to go about rounding off the edge's slightly.

    Speaking of Rossi's........

    I have a "new" Rossi that started out good, but after about 400 rounds, turned into a royal piece of "****". It's at Braztech now getting fixed, I bought it in April. I just picked up a new Ruger SP101 to replace it. If you buy it, good luck.

    1911 parts interchangability

    Any recomendations for a basic 1911 in the say, $400-$600 range? Like I stated I want a no frills, easy to get parts/work/mags etc,... The only things I can think of, without owning and trying one, that I may want is a beaver tail grip safety or possibly, extended safety or slid release...

    Any good Ideas for Ammo?sp101 2.25 inch brrl(.357mag)

    My SP101 loves .38 spl. Winchester 130 Gr SXT +P's I don't doubt that the .357's would perform much the same, but with the attendant increase in recoil.

    Flicking the cylinder on a revolver open/closed

    "I open my S&W revolvers quite differently, espeically when shooting with the right hand... I operate the latch with my thumb and push open the cylinder with my trigger finger. I then keep my finger through the frame window to hold the cylinder open and tilt the gun muzzle up...
