"Nobody here has tried this yet? Has anyone looked into it but ended up deciding against it? If so, why?" Not to seem snarky but as you said: "WHY?" The 77/?? handgun caliber is what it is and not a lot of options for 'improvements/upgrades'. May as well start with a rifle caliber platform.

As the one armed Deputy on Unforgiven said(while loading his third Colt single action): I don't intend to get killed for want of shootin back. I may die with a truck load of 'stuff' but I don't intend to die because I ran short of 'stuff'.

Next step in the process is to dis-assemble, look for manufacturing debris, clean/relube, and re-assemble. There's a chance you'll notice any burrs left from machining or any 'rub marks' from parts interference. My suggestion that the problem is caused by incomplete bolt travel stands. Some...

My best guess is the bolt isn't reaching full travel. This sort of malfunction may be directly related to the 'new' part of your description or a lack of lubrication. Counter to what you may have been told, it's OK to lube a new gun.

I suppose I'd buy a series IV at the right price but I really don't see the need for the features the IV provides. I'm perfectly satisfied with a 22/45 series 2 with a 'custom stippled' grip from the previous owner's pooch(makes for a better grip with wet, muddy gloves :whistle:).

Try locking the slide back, inserting a loaded magazine and releasing the slide by 'slingshotting'. I'd bet the pistol loads properly and will cycle fine while actually shooting. HP comes in many shapes and various nose profiles. IIRC, the Remington HP nose is somewhat rounded vs a square...

I gotta say that anyone with machining skills, equipment, AND proper licensing can make a decent suppressor. Beyond that, I have no experience with Ruger branded mufflers.

OK, sorry. But you did mention "AR types" in your OP.

Looks like I messed up. CCW expired and requires a start over plus lots of $$. Probably not going to jump through all those hoops at this point in life. Almost seems that the state had this in mind from the start. My Constitutional carry is accepted by most of the places I might want/need to...

I'm over 70 so my eyes are not what they used to be, either. The Vortex 'V-Brite' works well for it's intended purpose (illuminating the aiming point under extremely low light conditions). This is what illuminated reticles do. Making the aiming point more visible during full light isn't the...

Use a foam with a high expansion rating. Is the hollow one large void or compartments of voids? Don't expect the foam to reach into and fill small voids. You may need to drill some holes directly into smaller spaces to ensure those are filled. I bedded a few 'other' brand stocks which had...

I quit attending gun shows several years back. The prices were so inflated that it was a worthless endeavor. Only worthwhile if looking for a specific used gun and willing to pay whatever it takes to bring it home.

Loading 10-22 type mags requires at least two different movements so I have serious doubts as to the mechanics of a 'rapid loader' that actually works. The way it works here is the teenagers have to load TWO mags for each ONE mag they empty. That way Papaw always has a loaded mag waiting...

"Wow....t amazes me how many times info which concerns the AR platform starts showing up" Seems to me that 'the AR platform' was part of the original question rather than 'showing up'. :unsure:

Since the CCW permit is now linked to the MO Driver's license, the dates are coincidental or so I was told. There is no separate concealed carry permit for those who have a state drivers license. My 'CCP' expired in 2021 but still valid(I hope). Guess I need to check and verify. Not necessary...
