.22 is better than a sharp stick. Rimfire ignition is the "problem." My experience: I have had maybe a dozen ignition failures in 50+ years of centerfire shooting. One round in a batch of 13,500 WWB I bought cheap had a dead primer. I mostly use bulk box Federal "plated" 36gr HP's and have...

Here in Florida he would be known as "Uncle Bob." There would be cookouts at his ranchette down the end of a dirt road with "Beware of dog" signs. Children would learn to shoot after they finished their burgers. The WAG's would compare notes and have another glass of white wine. The end. Joe

I grew up in NJ, before the GCA/1968, I remember mausers in a 55 gal drum for $14.95. You could inspect and work the action on any of 3 dozen. Never got any. Moved to FL in '80, got an 01 FFL in '82. Made a large portion of profit on H&R .22's and .32's bought for $60, sold for $100. A...

I have a dozen of these, 100% function. Even the one i stepped on accidentally. Joe https://www.cdnnsports.com/magazines/mkii-22-10rd-ruger-fact.html

I was looking at a listing on Gunbroker recently for a Beretta 12 ga 1201 "Riot Gun." There was a "California warning tag" regarding the plastic stock and fore end "known to contain substances known to be carcinogenic and hazardous to health." You would think the business end of a 12 ga...

In 43 years I've been through a few. It's the price for going to the beach in February. I'm 20 miles East of the "Mouse House" and I don't worry until they shut down. Unfortunately, this one has a lot of "Charlie" on board. Best wishes to those on the Gulf Coast. Folks are losing their...

I buy last year's for $10 about this time when new ones hit the gunshow. I probably refer to it once a month. Joe

2021, only bought a CZ P07 to replace my 1994 EDC 6906. By Summer I might be ready for the transition. Joe

Nice. Lots of Ruger knowledge here. Joe

Funny how the same "right to choose" folks are lockstep with the .gov requiring everybody to get vaxjabbed or be banished to the wilderness. Joe

Partially correct. The "A1C" acceptable range has been moved lower steadily over 2 decades. Way back anything under 7 was OK. Under 7 is the "target" for diabetics. Today they classify 5.6 and above "pre-diabetes" and want to prescribe pills for it. I sold pills for 8 years and the object...

I shoot Fed bulk almost exclusively. Most of it is about perfect but often there is "weak" report/ejection. I shot 200 rds yesterday and maybe half a dozen barely cycled the MKII. Seems like the powder they use doesn't "meter" uniformly. Joe

No powder=bullet slowing down as pressure drops. Joe
