Welcome, and even though I am a huge Colt tac 22 owner/fan, Mr. Madhouse offered great advice - for around $200 one can get a new Ruger 10-22 and that is a great place to start!

Yes, exactly. Although we are having problems with a holster...

I started collecting 9mm 1911's, and just got my 3rd one - pick it up tomorrow.

I have an o-ring kit from Harbor Freight. HERE I also (slightly) chamfered the barrel sleeve to accommodate the larger o-ring.

All of the looseness is strange - first report of that. The only problem I had was the flash hider did come loose, and I installed a slightly larger o-ring on the flash hider and it has not been a problem since. :confused:

Welcome to you and your new rifle. :thumb:

It has been very interesting watching this play out. As I mentioned, the bill was passed out of committee, destined for a quick vote on the House floor om it's way to the Governor's desk. However, the House members didn't factor in one small group of activists - Ohioans for Concealed Carry. Calls, emails, you tube videos, press releases, and actual coverage by the local media has apparently derailed the bill for now, it was pulled off the House floor. We are told that our concerns are being addressed. :thumb:

Very cool. That is the way it is supposed to be! Thanks for posting Tal!

:bang:

Well, evidently the "fix" is in. The bill was passed out of committee despite all of the negative testimony.

I hear ya, but it is so superior to what passes for a show at home....

Heh - I am in Norman OK as we speak...

The committee is meeting today and tomorrow. Ohioans for Concealed Carry will be there in force in attempt to derail this travesty. They have my written testimony to present, among others. is a very interesting video that will be presented.

:laugh:

Exactly. You scofflaws, don't let us catch you in Ohio!!! C:-)

This is weird - the Ohio Senate, controlled by Republicans, has passed (actually, railroaded is a more accurate term) SB305, which makes it a felony to have a hidden compartment or space in your vehicle. Supposedly to help the war on drugs, it will ensnare many innocent drivers. When asked about that, a senator said they can prove their innocence in court. One does not have to have any illegal drugs in the compartment, just the compartment. The Governor, another Republican, has stated he will sign it. (WTH?) The bill is in a house committee and will be voted on this week. What a time to be out of state.

Nooooooooooo :o

I wonder what she will look like in 20 years??

Nice job! :thumb: Are you going to bend the bolt handle?

Heh. Sure, I'll deliver them very soon. :grin: Good gun show, especially if you want to buy a black rifle - prices from $650. Didn't see any spotting scopes, ended up with matching t-shirts for the Sweetie & I. Heading out west to the Cherokee Trading Post for one of their outstanding buffalo burgers, and some souvenir shopping for the family. On the way back planning to stop at H&H Gun Range, one can rent suppressed class III firearms for a test drive. :grin:

They don't do that too often - Heh!

Had a rock sculpting class this morning - local studio owner puts it on for NCED students - working with alabaster. Was very interesting, and I have a chunk of Oklahoma rock to take home. Now for the gun show, just looking for odds & ends, maybe a new spotting scope, but I will try to drop a few $$ into the local economy. ;D

At the state fairgrounds in OKC. This is always a big one, and looking forward to several hours of smelling gun oil. :thumb:

Welcome! The HK is a nice rifle. :thumb:
