Skunky buys a .22LR!!!! :D

Picked up a .22 conversion for my Beretta today. The finish sucks, but it didn't bother me because it's my training gun. They had six at the store and they were all messed up. The Beretta guys didn't seem like they cared about how they packed the kits.

The kit feeds well and is fun. Some light strikes but I guess that lets me practice my double action pull? I have a light hammer spring in my 92G so that may be it. Extraction and ejection works fine but I caught one down the back of my shirt. Some other .22s I have shot have had ejection or extraction related problems, not sure if they were ammo related?

Comes with an adjustable rear sight and has a 3-dot, a polymer mag and a mag loader. Expensive, but fun, and y'all know I'm big on training on the same manual of arms.

It'll be expensive, but I'm trying to decide if I want night sights put on it to have the same sight picture.
 
I thought that a .22 LR. was quote, " Not Tactical " ?!

You seem to be doing a 360 on this issue. What/ or who (probably Twoblink, ;)) made you change your mind?? :D
 
Keep us informed on the reliability and accuracy. I too love Berettas and was thinking about getting one of these kits. I have plenty of .22 pistols but one that would help me master my HD gun would be usefull. Who made this conversion?
 
I think that he finally come to reality that this hobby is expensive to keep going , I wish they made conversions for the LDa seies paras even with handloads this bugger is hungry !!:D oh skunk loved the video waiting for the sequel "misguided bango "
 
Very cool! I do most of my shooting w/ my 22's. Cheap & fun is an awesome combo!
Which kit did you get? A Beretta kit or one from somone else for the 92? How much are they? I'm looking forward to finding out how the accuracy is in a full range report ;)
 
I was off to get some Korean barbecue last night so didn't stick around at the range...ran 200 rounds thru her?

Hopefully I'll put a few thru tonight. Can't really report on accuracy because between being a lousy shot and having crappy eyesight....:eek:

"I'm not a lousy bullseye shooter...I'm just combat accurate!" :D

I've owned the Advantage Arms conversion kit for a G19 and also a Ruger Slabside.

The AACK jammed a lot no matter what I did to it. I'd send it back. They'd test it, find no problems, and send it to me. It'd jam mercilessly... :banghead: Eventually I returned it for refund.

My Slabside has been reliable as long as the critical parts are kept reasonably clean. Every so often it teaches me about a new critical part. :rolleyes:

The bolt face, chamber, and bolt locking lever all have to be clean or it'll fail to do something.

Learning to field-strip a MKII was, uh, interesting :cuss: :fire: but worthwhile. Some level of detail stripping is also necessary to keep its innards clean.

Moral of the story: Suspect dirt first.

Wow! Pretty soon you're gonna buy a gun that has wood on it somewhere ;)
 
Wow, congratulations. Do I see a 10/22 in your future or maybe even a nice Milsurp rifle, with wood and steel and maybe a leather sling....how gauche, how un-tactical. You know a nice SKS with a couple hundred rounds on strippers can be mighty tactical with that folding baynet on there and what's more tactical then an honest to God grenade launcher on those Yugos.

Enjoy the .22. Shoot often and feel guilt free about blazing away when you just wanna make some noise.

i always found that the actually strip-down was EASY it getting that sucker BACK together that's a real PITA:cuss: :cuss: blinking mainspring strut i just had that!!:cuss: :cuss: aw good greif which contortionist act did i forget THIS time!!!??? :banghead:


when i was 19 a spent 6 hours in the garage gunroom with my dad's MkI and the instruction manual learning now to get the bleeder back together. i did just fine after that.... till i stopped shooting it (it's over 40 years old and needs work to fuction properly) and haven't "done the drill" for 4 years. now when i buy the MkII competition that i want i'll have to spend another 5-6 hours fooling with it to get it down pat again.
 
Skunk, what ammo are you using? I would blame that 1stm then look into blaming something in the pistol, then blame yourself! ;)
 
Shot 250 Federal Am Eagle and Win Super X yesterday. Guesstimated 5-15% light strikes?

I am using a very light hammerspring.

Will put up pics when I get home and get a chance to clean.
 
Nah, i like a challenge :D

seriously though for me the instructions for re-assembly provided in the owners manual. worked just fine for me. plus it would give me a cahnce to spend mroe time fondling the gun :evil: only reason i DON'T still know how to re-assembe the thing is that it's been in my dad's safe for 4 years (out of my reach to play with :D ).
 
If you are interested in lightening the trigger pull on the NEOS, check out the Beretta forum on rimfirecentral.com. One of the guys there did a step-by-step photo shoot of stone the innards.
 
If I got a wood gun, it can't be brown, it has to be some kind of black and gray toned wood like on the Kimbers and Wilsons.

Tactical wood.
