U22 Neos, Ruger MKIII, Buckmark, 22A

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

Update on the Neos---after playing with it a bit---I found if you pinch the barrel and receiver together with your free hand--the take down ring moves freely and then the whole thing locks up solid when you remove the pressure. The grip angle is very Glock-ish and you have to concentrate at first till you get used to it.

Deal breaker for the Browning is the top strap---had a couple and they always come loose or break---very annoying. Plus its been at least 2 years since I've seen a cheap one--they're all trying to sell these $500 monstrosities---yet I never see a base model.

The S&W bolt/slide appears to be made of pot metal---am I wrong on this? Definitely an inferior material if true.

Takedown/reassembly on my MkIII was much improved once I "fixed" the mag disconnect---the whole process has been overblown---and is VERY easy once you get the trick of it. The MkIII(II-I)(not 22/45) is the only one made completely of steel for the major components---everything else out there is a mixture of steel(barrel) -aluminium---plastic or some mystery material.

You are holding the take down ring lock button on the right hand side of the weapon in while turning, are you not?? I know I cussed at mine at first, before realizing you had to hold that button in the entire time. Likewise the bolt has to be locked back, and you have to lift the barrell off as you unscrew the takedown ring. If not, it will lock up as you exceed freeplay in the threads on the takedown ring.
