That sounds like fun! The club I belong to, we can only shoot at paper targets. The rules actually state you can only load 1 round at a time. I am betting you will do much better next time! TM

Hello Ryan, and Welcome! TM :beer:

Got it to the range today, ran 200 rnds of Fed Bulk down the pipe - no issues at all - totally flawless operation. I comes with 3 different front sights for elevation adjustments, but this one was a-ok at 15 yards. Tried it at 50 yards and got hits on paper. I like it. Just need to get some more mags. TM :thumb:

No - Bought 200 rounds of the Fiocchi on a whim. Have never seen the advantage of buying high priced .22 ammo for gp use. And if the Federal will preform like this.....(after I got thru that one bad value pack) TM

Went to the range today. The results were exactly the opposite from expectations. Shot at 50 yds, on a bench with a bi-pod thru my Colt M-4, with my new Leatherwood scope. Bulls on the left were Federal Bulk Pack, on the right is the Fiocchi super match. Go figure! TM

Excellent! I am surprised that one can still buy guns in California..... :confused: Looking forward to pics. TM PS - I lived there 30 years - moved to Ohio in 01.

Two, actually. ;D TM

Well, I bought a cheap Harris knock-off on E-bay for my Colt-M4 a while back. Looked OK when I got it, and I figured that for a .22 lr it would be fine. Wrong. The base is made from aluminum where the Harris is steel. Guess what is bending. :-[ It truly sucks! Ya gets whats ya pay for!!! TM :-[

I don't think I have ever seen a .22 hand gun with this level of quality. It also has that 1911 natural aim - you close your eyes, aim the hand gun, open your eyes, and the three dot sights are aligned. But...the double action trigger pull is horrible - my trigger pull gauge tops out at 10 lbs - so I can not measure the DA pull - it exceeds my gauge. However, the SA pull is about 2.5 lbs.

Howdy Bill, from another displaced Texan currently in Ohio. TM :beer: PS - How do you like the NAA Pug? I have their Guardian in .32 acp and found it utterly reliable.

Back to gun stuff - the muzzle brake - HERE - click on JP Howitzer. It really does reduce the recoil almost to zero. I do have to remember to keep my mouth open when firing this however - very loud and I do feel the pressure. The range I used in California hated this gun - they had partitions between the benches - this gun used to blow pieces of wood off the plywood partitions... :grin: And this company, EABco is great. TM

Of course you did. Heh. TM :beer:

EX wife. I'll keep the current one. We were high school sweethearts, went to diff colleges, I ended up in the Navy and was sent to California. After 30 years we got back together. :thumb: TM

I have been working on this for over 10 years... I had an order into a company that made conversion parts, but they stopped making them.Then I had an order into a stock-maker in California that took my money but produced no stock.(have since been refunded by CC company) Then I found a French gunsmith that makes a trigger housing, plus an adapter from ACE LTD.USA, and here it is - before and after. Still a few tasks, dura-coat the trigger housing, remove the front sight and sleeve the barrel. I removed all the grenade launching hardware and sights. Yes, that is a Russian PSO-1M2 scope, modified to fit the MAS scope rail... also a JP Howitzer muzzle brake - very loud, but it darn near pulls the rifle forward when fired! Oh - it fires .308. TM ;D

Ya know, some people are alive today simply because it is illegal to shoot them. I think our country started going downhill when they made dueling against the law. TM PS - Hey Drew - thanks for being a good neighbor. :thumb:

Drew, you got me thinking. (dangerous at best) I just got 4 boxes of Fiocchi Biathlon sm 340 super match .22lr from CTD. Will try it next trip to the range and report back. TM

Sweet! Can I download the image and print some here? I'll put them up at the Club. TM :thumb:

My Sweetie used to shoot competitive skeet way back when - was going through the 12 ga ammo bin and found 8 ea Western Super X paper shot shells, 7 1/2 shot, hi-brass. Anyone know if these have any collector value? Thanks, TM

Nope. TM

This was the weirdest gun non-sale ever! Guy had a gun for sale. (Walther p-22) I wanted to buy it. We both agreed on the price. We both agreed on place and time. We both showed up.( he was 30 mins late) I had the $$. He forgot to bring the gun. :o TM So I stopped at Gander Mtn. on the way home and picked up a Sig Mosquito for $40 more. ;D TM

And proud of it!TM

The ability to make and understand puns is considered to be the highest level of language development. Here are the 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest: CAUTION: READING PUNS MAY CAUSE UNCONTROLLABLE WINCING 1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger." 2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says, "Dam!" 3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. 4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive." 5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication. 6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer." 7. A woman delivers a set of identical twins and decides to give them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain ; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal." 8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh McTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" the friars to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars. 9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him (Oh, dude, this is so bad, it's good…..) a super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. 10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did. ::) TM

The Sweetie and I went to a Moody Blues concert last Friday here in Toledo. Wow. They STILL rock! TM

Falls off??? :o Well, I have a welder. ;D TM

I am picking one up Wednesday. With the longer barrel and comp. ;D TM
