I have one of these. They are a marvelous "man sized" .22. Hard to find and the mags are especially hard to find. If I didn't already have one I'd be scraping together some Benjamins for this one.

A new frame is a whole ‘nother goat rope. Slide and barrel would have to be refit They won’t have to do that.

Homeowners’ and NRA insurance are a real rip off. I use Eastern. Before that I used Collectibles Eastern covers at a super reasonable rate. Includes damage and theft while you are out hunting or at the range or transporting in your car Also covers your firearms in shipment, which saves a...

Baer set things up for failure by not cleaning up the part properly before plating. Then your inexperienced “smith” didn’t know enough to look at the part and tell you “this isn’t going to work unless I do some serious file work on the backside of this safety, which will remove much of the...

Lots of great experience in this thread. One thing I would add. Think about what gear you carry (and need “at hand”) and the pocket layouts of the pants and jackets. Rangefinder, calls, GPS, hand warmers, lens wipes, little snacks, etc. I have a fair amount of both Sitka and Kuiu, and the...

As a non FFL…. If you are shipping a gun back to a manufacturer and they send out the tag technically they are the shipper and that will work. Also you can use shipmygun.com. They essentially do the same thing. Shipmygun.com is run by Buds Gun Shop.

A bit of thread drift here but another place that this set of observations regarding true accuracy/group size matters is evaluating whether your scope is returning to zero. Have to admit I've chased a click or two around thinking zero had drifted, when in reality it was just the gun's true...

I had this phenomenon once in a 308 and getting the jump right solved it. Improvement was dramatic. In my case it was SMK 168s and IMR 4064.

B.Rizzini by Sigarms Aurora TR-30. 28”, 5 chokes, POW stock. Pretty wood. Maybe 100 shells through it. IIRC it is 14-3/4 LOP. No cast or palm swell.

Technically Marine VHF is illegal to use broadcasting from land, with an exception in the regs for broadcasting nearshore to vessels off shore. People do it, probably no one is checking, but it is illegal. With that said they work very well.

I always admired Barrett for telling Los Angeles/California that they were not welcome as customers because of the hypocrisy of desiring Barretts for LE but not allowing CA citizens to own them. He told them in a letter if you won't let your citizens have it, we won't sell or service to your...

Interestingly, the 16s were made 29” and fixed choke.

I do! But I’m not a straight stock guy.

These guns are fantastic. I have two in 20 and one in 16. One of the 20s is my goto quail gun. Just fits and hits.

A few thoughts: 1). Almost no one has bought one of each model under discussion and compared like we do with guns. NFA items are a PITA to acquire so we just make a choice and then tell ourselves we did the right thing. The important info in this thread has to do with what has worked and not...
