Microgunner

Yes, I've owned lots. They're a waste of money IMO. In light low enough to see their illumination people will shoot instinctively. I only buy them now when they come as standard equipment on a new purchase.

That's a bad looking 10/22. Something new to lust for. :thumb:

I don't know about lightest, but SA bills it as the world's smallest 1911.

This round is so volatile in semi-autos it prompted Remington to issue this warning. http://www.remington.com/safety/17_HMR_Ammo_notice/default.asp

You also have to change the recoil spring and add mass to the bolt in the form of a heavier bolt handle. Timing is critical with this very snappy caliber and you need to slow the bolt to insure no OOB ignition which can result in a ruptured case. Which in turn can result in a magazine going KABOOM. If the bolt begins to open too fast (which it would with just a barrel change) you will expose unsupported brass while the bore is still under pressure. Approach these conversions carefully. It's best to buy a complete kit from one provider to insure properly matching parts.

Wholesale order price @ Ellett Brothers is $379.99 + 11.45 shipping. We sell prepaid orders for 15% over cost which would be $450.16. Yep, that's a pretty good price, IMO.

My EMP

Have you seen a recent photo of her?

I own an EMP and believe it worth it's toll.

Thanks for the chuckle.

No, and you and your wife's demeanor proves it.

SKU 811033 will be the threaded muzzle w/flash hider version available in January, I'm told.

I just heard that S&W will be offering the new M&P15-22 with a threaded muzzle & attachment. Cool. I'm glad now that I haven't been able to locate one wholesale. I'll wait for the new version.

I'm heading into the wholesaler's websites today to see if I can locate me one.

Did they spell my name right? ;D

Mounted the 2x TruGlo red dot sight. IT'S HORRIBLE. The FOV is tiny. It's like looking through a paper towel roll and the optical aberration is pronounced/excesive. One of the worst sights I've ever looked through. Why me?

Today's my first day back to work (my Monday) and I find my 597VTR arrived yesterday along with the (2) 30 rnd. mags and the TruGlo 2x red & green 2.5MOA dot scope #TG8030DB2. Out of the box this rifle feels alot better than I expected with it's aluminum receiver housing & free floated aluminun fore end tube. The trigger group/mag well is plastic but appears well done. Trigger pull is creepy and heavy but much superior to my Colt's M4 OPS 22. Let me screw some parts together & see how it runs.

OK. I just ordered the 597 VTR and (2) 30 rnd magazines for it. It comes with a 10 rounder. I ordered it mostly out of fustration of not being able to order a S&W M&P15-22. None of the wholesalers we buy from have the S&W in stock. I'll get the S&W as soon as the crunch eases up but for now at least it's a new firearm to feed my addiction. Plus, I like Remington and don't own a 597.

Welcome

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Ellett Bros. just got a whole slew in. You think it's worth the $321.00 it'd cost me? http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/rimfire_rifles/model_597/model_597_vtr.asp

It's been 90 and dry down here until yesterday, dropped to 72, ahhhhh. Have to wear sunblock to go shooting.

The wholesellers are listing them but none in stock yet.

I'm an FFL dealer so I order from whatever wholeseller best meets my needs. Usually Ellett Brothers, RSR Group, Sports South or GZanders.

....to admit I carry a HK P7 almost daily. :-[
