As suppressors go in the USA .22LR is as cheap as you can get. Quality centerfire suppressors are $650+ whereas you can get a 22LR suppressor for around 250-400. Since the transfer tax is $200 you really don't want to cheap out.

Not sure how high the prices are in CA but a new cz should cost a lot less actually. Check whittakerguns.com and go to new rimfires for a quick cz price list.

DeathByDoubleDip posted:Stupid question. I was looking at bolt-action .22's (the Savage MkII and the CZ452 in particular), and I was wondering if you could retract the bolt and simply load several cartridges into the exposed breech and straight down into the magazine, like with some surplus centerfire bolt-action rifles. CZ makes a "single shot adapter", which consists of a plastic block that fits into the magwell. I use one whenever I'm not shooting offhand and it's pretty handy. I just got a new 452 Trainer earlier this month from Walmart for $352, so I'd definitely pass on that used one.

Seems like the cheapest I can find a Trainer for around here is ~350, before DROS + taxes. I still have to haul rear end down to a Walmart and ask about that special order pricing though. Thanks for the PDF on that.

Dont get the trigger, get the sear and hammer bushing. It should be like $30 all told and works wonders. From what I understand all you're really missing out on with the trigger is a pretravel adjustment. edit: ok $40 Spime Wrangler fucked around with this message at Sep 27, 2011 around 15:46 |

Is the bushing the thing that we all replace in the mkiii to get rid of the mag safety ?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the bushing is the thing everyone replaces. It looks like VQ only does MkII bushings anyways, but that shouldn't be a problem. I guess the pretravel doesn't really bother me. At least not $40 worth of top priority bother. You can get whatever straight from volquartsen: https://www.volquartsen.com/categor...ts/4-mkii-mkiii I've had an ok experience buying from them. Shipping was a little slow, but no problems other than that. Replacing just those two parts was like night and day. Edit: Though I will admit I'll probably get the disconnector, trigger, and hammer at some point to try and get rid of that last bit of creep. I found this review/install guide just now that makes a pretty good case for the trigger... Spime Wrangler fucked around with this message at Sep 27, 2011 around 16:51 |

I just ordered some Tech Sights for my CZ 452, but after doing some more reading I'm a bit worried about something. Is it true that they don't have enough adjustment range to zero them at 25 yards instead of 50?

ShaneB posted:Ruger MkII upgrades that will be ordered after payday: If you get the Volthane grips, it comes with the extended mag release and slide stop. Personally, I did all these and loved it, except the Volthane grips were a little too weird for my hands. I have thick palms and stubby fingers, and I couldn't get a good grip. I took the grips back off and stuck with the cocobolo thumb grips I already had, and was much happier with it. If you have long fingers, the Volthane grip may be alright for you. Try one out with it if you can.

You could get a rear sight on without much of a problem, but drilling and tapping for a front sight would probably be more effort/cost than its worth.

Well, after a lot of handwringing, and help from goons, I went to the local gun shop and held some 22s. I wasn't happy with the way a lot of them felt, even the bigger, longer ones that I thought I wanted. Then one caught my eye. All of those 22 chambered ARs and AKs don't hold a candle to a .22 M1 Carbine:  What's that you say, it looks nothing like an M1 Carbine? Then why would Marlin call it the Model 99M1? Look at those sling swivels! The way the stock narrows at the front swivel. It's exactly like an M1 Carbine, only tube fed, with a different stock profile, and a different looking bolt. It's still brown wood and steel, dammit. But wait, that's not even a Marlin, it's a Glenfield. Apparently, the main mechanical difference is a longer tube on the Glenfield, so in this case, I'm pretty much OK with it being the lower-end version. Extra bonus, if the internet is to be believed, it's the same age as me. Going to get it cleaned up and head to the range this weekend. I'm excited.

Playing with that ballistic calculator, it looks like a 25 yard and 45-55 yard zero are almost identical, assuming 40 gr high velocity. I knew .22 dropped quickly, but not THAT quickly. Blows my mind and solves my sight zeroing problem.

I stopped by Sportman's Warehouse today and they had a Sig 522 for $400 new and I'm seriously tempted to buy it. The price seems pretty drat amazing as far as I can tell, though from looking at it online this is supposed to also come with an extra barrel. I didn't ask but if it's new I can't imagine it not coming with that. Edit: What would be a good option for a scope or a red dot from Primary Arms be? blahz fucked around with this message at Sep 29, 2011 around 05:33 |

Well, I added another .22 to the stable this week. Anschutz 64MS. I'd been watching them for a while on gunbroker, and got a really good deal on this one. The stock's got a couple of marks on it, but nothing major. I'll put a scope on it this Friday. I'm taking my boards Saturday, so Sunday's going to be my first range day in almost a month.
