I didnt know, thanks. My host has had a "host" of issues lately. A little annoying considering my monthly fees but it is what is.

I havent seen that stuff around in a while I used it in my AR-15 with the Colt .22 conversion and it functioned as decent as anything else Ive put through it that it liked. My model 41 didnt care for it but its a fussy bitch. Funny thing though was rounds that didnt work for me my buddies 10-22 and Mark II gobbled up without a hitch.

Millet has a winner on their hands in my opinion. I like itvery much. I feel it’s a great optic for the money. We did need to add a riseron the AR as both of us are right eye dominant lefties.

yep, I spent quite a bit of time shooting one on my buddies AR-15. I may have reticule images around somewhere.

Nah no need to stick with .22 scopes. A fixed 4x for general screwing around or maybe a 3x9 for long range stuff. A .22 is a good reason to try those inexpensive scopes you always wondered about. The Bushnells, Vortex, Millet, NcStar, Mueller etc. Its often said the optic should cost as much as the firearm.

Have any of you tried any of the pricey ammo like RWS for accuracy and reliability?

Mike J submits the following My new M&P 15-22 had several short feeds using Remington Golden .22. They ejected fine until one fed in 1/2 way and was detonated by the forward motion of the bolt. No one was hurt . The ejector pin bent and the device securing it fell out. The bottom half of the case that did not go in the chamber was crushed like a soda can. The gun immediately went back to S&W. Probably 200 shots went through before this startling event happened. The shop thinks there may be a burr in the chamber. I have asked for a full report on the incident. Some web reports using Remington ammo show similar events happening. I would appreciate any other inputs on whether to just get my money back. I have shot a lot of .22LR and never had this type of event happen and am concerned there may be a design problem? The Remington ammo may have also caused the problem? Thanks, Mike J

Im getting enough feedback from the main site that I want to include it here on the forum. I have locked this thread for comments so that individual discussions can be started.

Dean J writes I shot my umarex/colt in a 50' cmp match on Saturday. it was the first time I had ever shot the match and only the third time I had fired the rifle. With the factory sights and American eagle ammunition I shot a 516 out of 600 with 8 x's. I know I could do better if the trigger wasn't so bad. Mine scaled at 9lbs. pretty stout for target shooting. I love shooting the mp4/ops only wish i could find someone or somewhere to get the trigger lightened.

Len Y submits the following I bought a new Colt/UMAREX M16 SPR Tactical .22 rifle just after Christmas. I would like to offer my comments as I proceeded to clean it for the first time and then took it off to the range for first time. First thing I would like to point out is that the look and feel of this .22 M16 are superb! It weighs enough to give the feel of a true to life M16 and with it's flash suppressor and a 30 round mag, that looks like the real thing, you could not tell the difference unless you got up close and personal. After reading the manual that came with the rifle I discovered errors in the text that were corrected in the manual that I downloaded directly from the UMAREX website. The only critical error was in the bolt mainspring adjustment where the printed manual had the turn directions reversed. Not life threatening, but I was glad to have the right instructions because I purchased high velocity .22 LR ammo and made the adjustment to have the bolt return speed increased to the max. Another omission from the printed version was to loosen the muzzle compensator by two turns before removing the rear receiver pin to open the rifle for cleaning. This is VERY IMPORTANT as it takes tension off the barrel casing and makes it easier to remove the pin without damage to the lower receiver enclosure. Upon opening the rifle for cleaning I knew that cleaning was going to be a little tricky given that you cannot remove the bolt assembly from the upper receiver, nor the trigger and hammer assembly in the lower receiver. Thus cleaning is a matter of using sprays and some type of air blowing apparatus, e.g., a mini vac with a blower capability, a small compressed air rig, or a can of air. I also found it a bit tight to do a good job of scrubbing out the breech area. But,with a good cleaning kit (Otis) using a flexible rod and the smaller .22 brass brush, I got through the process OK. Oil is used very sparingly as not to cause a buildup of residue in the mainspring and bolt area. Despite some of my grief over cleaning, once I got to the range, all was well with the world. To be poetic...the rifle is a hoot to shoot! I was able to find some of the new Winchester Super X Super Speed Plated Round Nose Ammo with a 40 grain copper jacketed bullet. The ammo is rated at 1300 FPS. WOW! Popping off 30 rounds as fast as I could pull the trigger and feeling as if it were almost like a full auto, I was in shooter heaven, at least until my first jam. My thinking is that I have to play a bit with the bolt mainspring adjustment to find the right combination of forward and reverse bolt speeds to handle the ammo correctly. I found that shooting rapidly sometimes resulted in an inability for the extractor to fully expel the empty casing before the next round popped up to be loaded into the breach. It was not a big deal as I shot over 400rounds in my first outing and only had a few events. Once I had my sights rough aligned I was able to get X ring groups at 25 Yards (limit of myclosest indoor range) and it proved tome very quickly that this rifle is as accurate as it is beautiful. That's itfor now. Next up is a moderate priced scope and more breaking in. If any thing else happens I'll drop you a line. By the way...you have a great website! All the best! Len Y.

FWIW the Remington ammo sounds problematic in every semi auto. Very interesting

Thanks for joining :beer:

I found this link elsewhere. If the images look familiar at times its because he shoots them for many other folks. Great stuff

Most of my stuff is ehh anyhow ;D

I got a little smart a few weeks ago. I took all the bolts from the actions and put them under the false bottom in the safe.

Microgunner got me thinking. What does a guy do with his stuff when he has nobody to leave it to? In my case I have the guns,guitars,amps and a pretty killer woodshop. I have no children or siblings. Id like to think I could leave my stuff to someone who would keep and enjoy it, not flip it for a fast buck.

I have a space issue. Tiny one room apartment. Safe is full and Im resorting to disassembling and stashing. BTW i have only got rid of one firearm in my 43 years. A S&W 4006

Gotcha thanks. I should probably just sell it or trade it to someone who will appreciate it and not keep it stashed away.

Is there any reason I shouldnt refinish the stock?

A few minutes ago I was reading the some dealers are jacking up the Sig prices in preparation of the $300 rebate.

Well here she is. Next time Im in the safe Ill get the scope out

Topic stickied :thumb:

yeah that is great as well
