Since the ATF has sped up the application process, suppressors, particularly rimfire suppressors are in short supply. The Ruger being about as scarce as most. Otherwise, they never test toward the top or bottom, seemingly like they are OK for their price range. So many brands from about $250 -...

I always thought the Hogues were very thick at the top & were way proud of the frame. These don't look like that. Any chance of a side view of the top of the grip? If not so thick I'll be ordering a pair today. Otherwise, all the Reeder fitted Micarta on a Bisley I've seen were superb. $200 on...

Thinking I counted 14 as the number of rounds Costner shot before a reload in the opening of the gun battle. But the real lulu of it all was him sitting on the ground, taking cover behind a,,,, wagon wheel, then shaking the heck out of the gun to rattle the empties out. I'm yelling, use the...

You drove all that way just to shoot Prairie Dogs ? I've been asked. And just like Jay, the answer was YEP!, and I can't wait to go back. About the most fun I've had with my clothes on.

I urge folks to take a look a Kidd Innovative Design 10/22 parts. Some consider some of their parts to be the best in the biz, triggers & barrels in particular. For instance, a Kidd single stage trigger can be had with pulls down to 1.5# & it's cheaper at $285 vs. Vols 2.25# @ $296. Want to go...

Some models of the MKII, like the III & IV were drilled & taped to accept a Weaver type rail. Ruger sells a rail that specifically matches the radius of the upper receiver. By getting that done, you could mount/dismount just about anything anytime. To me, a small initial investment that could...

I have a silver 2.5 Thompson Center w/rings & a lighted reticle. Not sure who made this one as TC used a few venders including Tasco & Burris. It's marked Japan, which is a good thing these days. PM if interested.

Had to look it up, ah, Ultimate carry they call it. A really neat piece IMO. Wouldn't mind having one myself. The 32 might be perfect for a woman as a 16 oz. revolver can sting a bit in 38. But if she can handle that, it's all good. Yes, contender is 100% spot on that the owner/shooter has to...

The last few years of the tang safety 77's production saw them offered with laminate stocks in "at least" 2 colors. The green as shown & one they called desert, no green or gray, just shades of browns. Thinking there was one with quite a bit of red in it as well. Sorry, but that's about all I...

Another way to look at it & ease your pain is that the miles between you & the gun are about 150? Considering how long you said you'd have to drive. Thinking the IRS says it cost 63 or 65 cents a mile to operate a vehicle. so, the $500 pistol just became a $600 pistol. Feel better now? And...

I've got a stainless with green inserts & sights. I could get a big chunk of cash for it I suppose, but it's worth a lot to me. It's smooth, accurate, very dependable, & it's one of those that I see as remaining that way for decades to come. It is on a small but long thought out list of...

There are many on Ebay Edit to say that I don't know if the flattop latch is different than the later ones & there are several latches on ebay that age isn't specified.

My how things change. About 1980 a Mini was about half the price of a basic Colt AR. Now, a Mini, the dolled up version is same money as some of the nicer fully optioned AR's available. Both platforms have been up graded over the years & each have stood the test of time. So much different...

Yes, there is a used one on GB, now. It didn't show by typing in Ruger Prec. just Ruger bolt action & then selecting 5.56.

Always thought a 38-55 would be a lot of fun, but I just never found one for the right price at the right time. You'd likely enjoy it.
