Microgunner

Congratulations guys.

Wife's gonna kick your butt for putting that greasy old gun on her coffee table! :grin: Looks like you saved one from the parts bin fate. :thumb:

If you like the P22 then you might also like the Ruger SR22. Very similar in size and weight but with an aluminum slide instead of Walther's zinc alloy slide. I've handled a few Ruger's and they are better looking pistols, quality wise, and I've read they enjoy a better reputation. Price is similar.

I too, desiring a threaded barrel / receiver union, went with Volquartsen. I bought two and they are spectacular. The down side, unfortunately, is they leave little room for improvement which places a damper on the tinkerer in me. I did change the stocks to B&C Sportsman Challenge stocks which I pillar & glass bedded. I also added an adjustable harmonic stabilizer to the .17HM2 version, pictured below. The other, not pictured, is in .22lr.

Now polish that chamber so it doesn't happen again.

Cool project. Two big foibles of the 10/22 are a clamped in barrel and a single (as in one) action screw. The heavier your barrel gets the more these lackings will rear their ugly heads. Early 10/22s had threaded barrel/reciever unions and are far better but nearly impossible to find. There are fixes. If you want a fat barrel go with a carbon fiber tension barrel. Looks good, accurate and reasonably light weight. There are many methods of adding a second action screw to the 10/22 and in my opinion one of the best improvements that can be made, especially if you install a heavy barrel. Good luck, we'll all want to see your progress so don't forget, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I'm pretty sure it'll mess up their entire weeend. ;D

This is a good sign.

I'm also one of those "used to" hunters.

Indeed, the 10/22 is the most versatie .22lr rifle existent.

Welcome from Florida Steve. Always fascinated with the English and European shooters. I've noticed that our UK friends always appear to be shooting foreign rifles. Are there any sporting rifles still being manufactured in the UK?

Welcome from Florida Tom.

Sorry, but I don't own a single scoped "tactical 22". Only irons and red dots. All my scoped rimfires are of the frobidden tack driver variety.

I've put a lot of rounds through a KT 2000. I was not impressed.

Man, you stole that. You're getting some good deals for sure.

Welcome from Florida. Good catch on the Colt.

We'll want to see it. A 9mm AR upper is on my wish list.

Sorry, yeah, I meant OK in the Henry lever action.

Didn't even know a gen 2 mag was available. I'll have to check into that. Thanks.

The old Winchester still looks and shoots good. :thumb:

Sounds like a fun day. I hang the pop cans from strings and bounce them around until they're shredded or I hit the sting. When I do hit the string I always say it was on purpose, damn, I'm good. ;D

The little Sears & Roebuck has made the rounds. Who's going to end up with it?

I like the looks of your CMMG mags better than mine. Here is what my CMMG mags look like.

Fairly faithful replica it appears. nice. :thumb:

Well, I think you've made a fine choice for a .22lr black rifle, and welcome to T22. :thumb: I like your mag. What is it?
