In all reality, what you are looking for would be something similar to Remington's MSR or XM2010, which is a tactical bolt action sniper rifle decked out in AR asthetics.....only in .22cal As of yet, I dont know of anything like this. But if money is no object, Id recommend starting off with a CZ .22 action and barrel, and send it to a competent gunsmith to have them rework it with an AR style stock, forearm, and lower.

Sad accident, but it was an accident. There's no doubt the father used poor judgement. He should have known better. For one, there are youth rifles for a reason. They are designed to be handled by kids. A micro UZI is not a youth rifle, and on full auto....will ALWAYS have insane amounts of muzzle rise. Even for adults, they are difficult to manage. Its likely the little kid didnt have the muscle strength or control to manage that kind of recoil. I support the kids right to shoot, and the dad's right to enjoy shooting with his son. Its an unfortunate accident, and one that could have been avoided with a little better judgement. As shooters we all need to start using better judgement when participating in shooting activities. When we dont, we just provide fodder for the anti-gun liberal agenda. Safety FIRST, fun second. ALWAYS. If you cant handle this, you are in the wrong hobby.

Walther doesnt actually make them per se ...Umarex makes the walther products. Umarex owns Walther now....and they also make guns for RWS, Walther, Hämmerli, Beretta, Colt, Smith & Wesson, HK, Ruger®, Browning, Makarov, Tactical Force, Magnum Research, and Combat Zone. The HK .22's are Umarex, the Colt .22's are Umarex, and the Walther .22's are Umarex. Its a gigantic logistical nightmare. For instance...the Walther P22, is made by Umarex in Germany, for the Walther brand (which they own), and imported by Umarex USA, and distributed by Smith & Wesson.

Here are some common reasons and fixes. Failure to feed - 1. Mag not seated/loaded properly- Tap bottom of magazine to seat fully. Ensure rounds are loaded straight and fully up against the back of magazine. 2. Dirty Chamber - Clean chamber of powder/lead residue 3. Dirty bolt - Clean bolt of powder/lead residue, and oil 4. Dirty Ammunition - Use good clean ammo 5. Recoil spring broken, or damaged - Replace spring 6. Burred feed ramp - Deburr and polish (recommend gunsmith) Failure to eject 1. Ejector misalignment - use tool to realign ejector so that it firmly strikes the back of empty casing. 2. Dirty bolt - Clean bolt and oil 3. Dirty Chamber - Clean chamber of lead/powder residue. 4. Extractor stuck or broken - clean extractor, and check for proper function, or replace if broken or missing. Failure to Fire 1. Dirty firing pin. - Clean firing pin of powder residue, and lubricate. 2. Dirty bolt - Clean bolt and lubricate. If bolt cannot return to battery, gun will not fire. 3. Broken firing pin - Check firing pin to make sure striking end is not damaged. Ill tell you this, these .22 tacticals need like to be clean, and almost dripping wet with lube to function properly. If you still cant get it to work...send it in. Or have a gunsmith look at it.

Might help if we knew what kind of jam...FTF,FTE?...give us details, and we can tell you how to fix it.

You gotta do a review on the sparrow...im curious about it compared to the gemtech outback II

Im partial to the pelican cases myself. Mainly because they are waterproof, indestructible, protect the gun from anything short of a cruise missle, and even the baggage guys that work for delta cant mess one up.

You wont regret it...so which ones did you get? Gemtech, AAC, Knights Armament?

Yes, in both the Army and the Marines they are still available. The Army pretty much quit using them or issuing them unless they were needed for some special reason. The Marines are still issued them, and still learn them in Basic training. They are rarely used though. Most of the time you will only see them in use while guarding something...prisoners, honor guard, gate shacks, etc.

In all reality, they'd have better luck locating your guns with a metal detector.

I dont think it has peaked. I think we are seeing a reduction due to people unwilling to invest money in anything right now with the way the current administration is handling the country. If things start to stabilize (once we get rid of Obama) perhaps we will see things start to pick up again.

Too bad they are all airsoft.....

Bonus points if you do the yard work WITH the 300 rounds of ammo.

It was 103 here for three days straight...middle georgia...and no...its not dry heat...LOL

I dont shoot black powder...mainly because of the hazards associated with it. Just bear in mind that with a black powder revolver, you can have flash over from the gap between the barrel and cylinder. It can ignite the other cylinders....which can make it blow up. Most of the black powder shooters I know use vaseline to cover the powder charge in the other cylinders to prevent this from happening. Its one of those little things that an inexperienced black powder shooter might not know. There are many more safety items like this that you will need to learn from other black powder shooters before you attempt to shoot it. I'd find someone locally to help you out.

So obviously, this is negatively affecting the websites cash flow....do you think you be able to weather the storm or is this going to cause the site to go down?

Ive used the "in the chamber" type before. I think they work better than the "stuff in the muzzle" type mainly because they are centered with the bore easier. Ive never seen them for .22 though. All the "in the chamber" ones Ive seen are centerfire cartridge.

You can do the same thing as a bore laser...by just removing the upper, clamp it up in a vise, look down the bore and align it with a target....then adjust scope to match. It will get you close enough to zero it the rest of the way with a few rounds down range. I never gave much credibility to bore sights. Mainly because they dont figure in bullet drop. They are pretty much only good to get it "on paper" at short ranges.

You mean the grip is loose, or the lower reciever isnt locked in against the upper reciever? If its the grip, there is probably a screw inside the grip that will tighten that up. Im not sure because I dont have a umarex AR, but look at the bottom of the grip. Its either hollow with a screw/bolt up in there, or there is a cover that you can remove to access the screw/bolt. If its the fit of the lower to the upper....not much you can do there. A gunsmith can probably peen the pin lugs a bit, or maybe shim it????

Nice.. Kydex is so easy to work with. Heat gun and you can mold it to anything.

I like mine. I got the threaded version for mounting a suppressor. The gun works great as long as you 1. Strip it down when you get it and clean it throughly 2. Lube it good with gun oil 3. Keep the barrel tight. The finish will wear a little, but then again...all the sigs do. Its a fun gun.

Never mind, i found it. Sig is advertising if you order a classic, you get the heavy barrel for free....i want my heavy barrel sig!!!

Please post pics of this barrel, i really want to see what it looks like.

My dealer has the gsg and the sig. They are in fact the exact same gun, the only difference is the sig has some sweet grips on it. I really want the sig version....might go buy it next week. Keep looking you will find one....check your local pawn shops. Many of them sell new guns too, and you might find one quicker than the gun store.

What is this heavy barrel you speak of? Pics....cause i didnt get one with my sig, and if i was supposed to, then sig owes me a barrel
