My new toy is all ready to go out and play

[Okiecruffler]

Just put my Savage Striker together again after smoothing up the trigger and repainting the stock. I can't help it, I just don't like black plastic guns. Now green fleckstone plastic guns, they are things of beauty. Now it's a match for my Ruger 10/22. Problem is, I've been so busy around here I haven't had time to shoot it. Okay, so there were a few rounds of Colibri out the kitchen window, but that doesn't really count. Man, can't wait to get outside with this thing.

This is something I couldn't do. If the gun needed work when I bought it, I for the most case (99.97%) wouldn't. And once I had it, it would only be a few hours at most before I'd be at the range. The only two guns that have broken that pattern were both mil-sup that had to be cleaned. They made it the next day.

Trying out a new gun,Is like opening a Christmas present. Just do it and enjoy.

I've never bought a gun that didn't need some work done to it

or a vehicle, or a bass, or a computer system. I think that the only thing I like better than shooting is tinkering. I'm the Tim Taylor of firearms. Wait, everything he does ends up blowing up... okay, so I'm still the Tim Taylor of firearms. Right now I'm putting the finishing touches on my old Glenfield model 15. It's always been my most accurate .22, but now it looks like a brand new rifle. Tactical black stock, free floated barrel, and a trigger that breaks at somewhere around 1 pound. As soon as my change of address C&R gets here I'll start on my next gun project, a M44 scout rifle. Just bought the offspring a '78 Ford Futura that's kept me up to the elbows in grease. We're rebuilding the carb tonight. It's a wonder I find enough time to go to work.

ONE POUND!


I can see it now, your about ready to take your shot, you take a breath, the guy next to you farts and the gun goes off with the shot striking the berm in front of the target.

Well, I took the Striker out to the range today, and I absolutely love it. From the bench at 25 yrds all the shots are touching if I do my part. At 50 yrds the group opens up a bit, but I can still cover it with a quarter. This pistol screams for a better scope. The left hand bolt makes for a very quick bench pistol. The thick plastic trigger ends up feeling like a trigger shoe and helps the trigger pull. I still don't like the cheesy stamped magazine and doubt I ever will, but I guess I can live with it.

The Glenfield had to stay home. As many of you have guessed at, I may have gone too far on the trigger. You can fire it by either pulling the trigger, or by bumping it against any solid object. No biggie, just another project.
