Hi Tony and Welcome. TM

Well, that's possible. I got the spring from gun parts Corp. I will have to re-look at that spring. Thanks MG! TM

" BTW Wal-Mart attracts strange people" http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ :confused: TM Hours of looking, with my mouth hanging open - unbelievable.....

Negatory on facebook, twit or whatever. ;D TM

Neither - it is larger in diameter than the bore, but the inside was not smooth - bad machining marks, I used 1000 grit wet paper saturated in an industrial polishing solution, then blued it. Didn't get to the range today, went fishing instead. TM

Today will be fun - going to the range in the AM, then out to Metzger's Marsh (a pier in Lake Erie) and go fishing afternoon and evening. :thumb: TM PS - Sharp hooks, no free bait!

OK - tighten the set screws on the bottom of the handguard - that should take care of it. TM

I decided to lap the bore myself - won't have to pay return shipping... TM

No reply. TM

Sweet!!!! :beer: TM

Welcome! I think the wrenches are 2.5mm and a long 4.0mm. The stock wobble can be cured by shimming inside the stock with self adhesive teflon tape. But there should not be any wobble or play in the hand-guard. Since you mentioned it was "pre-owned", I would suggest to have it checked before you fire it. TM

Nope. Ithica reopened near here, in ohio, but they don't seem to answer e-mails. This one has got me stumped. Logic says, the recoil spring must be weak - as the lighter loads work a-ok. :confused: TM

Nice! :thumb: TM

Love fishing - Did lots of (river) salmon/steelhead fishing when I lived in Cali, also lots of moutain lake fishing, and ocean fishing. I now live a couple of miles from Lake Erie, perch, walleye, bass, cats crappie....Going fishing this Friday as a matter of fact. TM

I understand the S&W is a fine rifle. I have not fired one, but have held one. I am kinda partial to the Colt. TM :thumb:

OK - The Colt's comp is on it's way to Arkansas tomorrow. I have re-looked at the thread adapter for the Colt, and the extended AR flash hider I tried a while back. When these items were on my Colt, accuracy suffered. The thread adapter has no crown, and when installed, this is the muzzle of the Colt. So, I endeavoured to cut a 11 degree crown on the adapter, and make a brake out of the extended flash hider. After I got done, went to the range and noticed a definite reduction in the muzzle twitch. I will look forward to trying the home made brake on my AR. I am thinking that the large inside diameter of the brake/hider limits it's effectiveness on a .22. Anyway, it was fun to make metal shavings! TM

Uncooked rice is a great moisture absorbent. I also use a primer sealant. TM

Howdy! TM

Welcome - I have the M-4 Ops-really like it! TM

No reply from Colt, so far.... :confused: TM

Less than what I paid for mine from Gander Mtn. Just ran 50 rounds thru mine last Friday, flawless. I have had more problems with center fire pistols than with this. (Have not had any problems with the Mosquito) TM

Oh my... :laugh: TM

She is G8! TM

How true - wasn't it the amazons that removed a breast so they could draw a bow?? :confused:TM

Going to the range Friday, with vid camera and a bolt action .22, just to see.... TM
