I got this 1960 vintage Remington Model 512 Sportmaster at an antique store last week! This is my first ever 22lr rifle. It has some scratches and dings consistent with its age, but the bore/crown/and action are still excellent! I put 200 rounds through it the other day, and got it perfectly zeroed in at 50 yards. I love it, this rifle is a blast to shoot!
I always thought shooting a 22 rimfire rifle would be too much like shooting an airgun, which I find boring when at a real gun range (this is why I never bought one)... but I was wrong. There is still a satisfying report, and enough smoke, from the little round to appease my gun-shootin' cravings. I'm headed out to put another 200 through it this afternoon!

What is it like shooting a PTR 91?

This second video illustrates Most (not all) of the basic mechanics of the "Roller-Delayed Blowback" action:
The Second reviewer " @BC-wj8x" comment explains the general function pretty well. But he uses the term "bolt body" when he means "Bolt carrier".
As the rollers move rearwards, they are forced inwards, which squeezes the angled "locking piece" to accelerate it--and it is part of the bolt carrier.
Therefore, this Squeeze causes the locking piece/bolt carrier move faster than the bolt. German mathematicians were among the designers of a previous, similar system in the 1940s.

S&W 642-1. It's been a job for me to master this thing. But I think I'm about
there. I have others that were much easier but I like this one and going to stick with it.

Both .45 Colt/.410 shot shell barrels, a 4.25" and a 3". I shot about 30 rounds of S&B JHP .45 Colt and could not discern which barrel gave more felt recoil. It almost seemed at times as if the longer barrel was more felt recoil, though I was thinking the added weight would make it less. Probably the added weigh about counters the added length. Anyway, one thing is for sure, I need the larger grip on these beastly guns. The standard grip focuses all the energy into one part of your hand. Not good.
Also fired a couple dozen .22 LR rounds through the Bearman derringer (on the left below).

broke in my 1895 SBL and wanted to stretch out my Uberti 1873 .357 mag. I brought 2 different boxes of 45-70 some Hornady Reverolution and some Remington 405 gr "safe for all rifles". Tried a few rounds of the Remington, not bad. Then tried the Hornady, that was stout and don't think I could an entire box at a time. I can't shot worth a darn with the ghost ring setup. It was good for quick acquisition. I'm going to stick an LVPO or a magnified prism sight. Stretched them both out too 100 yards and called it a day

Not today but yesterday.
This 7.5 inch Ruger Redhawk was my Dad's.
He passed in early 1993 at 62 years of age.
My Uncle (His Brother) purchased it from my Mom.
Dad always carried it under the seat of his pick-up truck.
I remember him telling me he had dispatched a Timberwolf with it that had been wounded by a car that he came across laying in the road on his way to work one morning, obviously putting it out of its crippled misery.
A couple of months ago my Aunt approached me and asked if I was interested in any of my Uncle's guns as he had passed a couple of years ago.
Well, YEAH!
This is one that followed me home, but my Sister wanted it.
Okay... I have enough of Dad's 44's.
Turned out that Sis decided I should have it! The history of a family heirloom......
Happy, happy, Joy, joy! (Ren and Stimpy)
Any ways, it is becoming one of my favorites. A total of 62 rounds of my handloads so far, with hopefully many more to go!

Oh yeah.
I forgot to mention that brass does not last forever!
Who knows how many times this inherited brass was reloaded.
You can see the split case that wouldn't allow me to extract the fired rounds.
