I almost went out and bought a GSG-5SD this morning, but then I remembered an M1 Carbine or M1 Garand costs about the same and would make a better "collector" piece.

I bought some minimags from Walmart for $6.47 per 100rd box. $7.50 is a little high but still reasonable.

Well yeah, but you could have had it today, whereas the CMP leadin is what, six months? And that price is fine for minimags. Maybe a touch high.

Hot drat, thanks  I wonder if lead fouling would still be a problem with those out of a .22 BCG AR.

They're cleaner than regular .22lr, but it's just a thin copper wash on the minimags so you still get lead buildup.

I have not been able to dredge up too much about the S&W 22A pistol in this thread, although I will admit i skipped around a bit. Can anyone give me a quick review on the pistol? The 7" barrel model is only 243$ on budsgunshop.com and I will have some spare cash around holiday time.

The 22A isn't a bad gun, per se, but I'm guessing that doesn't also include shipping and transfer fees and that'd add up to a lot more for that gun than is worth.

I sold a boring old Glock and picked up a Smith and Wesson 15-22.     It is feels more flimsy than a true AR but more solid than the "Colt" offering. Now to get some stuff for those rails.

I'd get a sweet Aimpoint clone from http://www.primaryarms.com or http://www.rrages.com and a stubby Tapco vertical grip, then a sling of some sort (prefer single point for extra tacticoolness). Optional: Flip up rear sight Weapon light Magpul MOE stock Rail covers But that's just me...

I'm a total beginner and researching my first purchases. Does anyone have any experience with the Norinco M-93 Woodsman or the JW-15A? How do they compare to Rugers, Marlins, etc? I'm not expecting perfect performance, just something for someone on a budget that I doesn't have serious reliability or accuracy problems.

Never been impressed by the Norinco offerings, very cheap, tend to be inaccurate and unreliable. Better to get a good quality second hand .22 rather than a completely shite new one. If you're on a real budget then a BSA Martini .22 is usually hard to beat on price. It's a stupidly reliable and very accurate rifle.

Bigos posted:I'm a total beginner and researching my first purchases. I looked at the JW15 for my first rifle - all the people i asked told me it was a copy of the CZ 452, shot alright, and the only negative point was the cheap fit and finish. I didn't like them because the iron sights looked like poo poo and i like to use irons every once in a while. If you want a cheap .22lr, why don't you look for the Toz 78 / Winchester Wildcat? It was my first choice for a new gun, looked good, nice irons, and well made. Cyrano4747 owns one, he posted it in some thread i don't remember. Anyway it was only slightly more expensive than the Norinco offerings and looked much better...

Bigos posted:I'm a total beginner and researching my first purchases. You're never going to find either of those for sale anywhere. Marstar is always out of stock and they rarely come up used. If you want a value priced .22 in Canada look into a Mossberg Plinkster, they run like 180 dollars and work fine.

In the dirt cheap .22 category, I have a Crickett My First Rifle and aside from the stock sights being sorta poor, it was certainly worth the $80. Don't know if those're available in Canada or not, though.

It'd be nice to get a handgun ASAP cause who knows when they'll start to gently caress with the laws. You're probably not going to find too many handguns for sub 400 dollars that aren't complete trash so a 100 dollar Woodsman might be fun to learn on and beat into the ground.

I couldn't sleep last night and instead thought about the first time I went shooting. It was out in Utah on my grandpa's farm, and he had a single shot bolt action .22. No magazine of any kind, and the safety engaged itself each time the bolt was cycled. Who makes such a rifle?

Anyone familiar with BVAC .22lr? http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/Item...spx?sku=AMM-055 I've been looking for some good copper coated poo poo for my 597 because every once in awhile it gnarls a lead round and I have to unjam and pitch it. I had use some Winchester in round and HP and didn't have a problem but I don't really like the expense seeing how poor I am for the time being. If anyone tried it, does it really have a copper coat or is it that bulk 525rd Remington poo poo that's spray painted gold. the gently caress is with that anyway? copper is also nice so I don't have black leaded fingers or in this case, gold/gray. Don't really trust reviews on any site let alone that one, not after i hit a gem like this for some tracer rounds: [...]Quality that we are not used to. Please remember, buy American. The more money we keep in this country tne more jobs we'll have. Everyone driving a foreigh car should move to the country they bought their car from. the gently caress?

I think it was a Remington at least. There's quite a few companies that make single-shot youth versions of their .22 bolt actions, Marlin makes some (915Y and 915YS), and Savage makes several single shot bolt actions as well.

Easiest way to verify is if you remember what the end of the bolt looked like. The end of the bolt in Remington 510s were conical.

 Picked up a Marlin Model 60 with an El Paso mfg Weaver B4 after finally deciding that even an inherited 522 Viper was not a good Viper. I thought it was a nice rifle for the price, but wasn't a big fan of the open sites or the B4, so went looking at Cabelas for some peep sights. After failing miserably to find a set of acceptable sights, I found this beautiful 1930s Remington 341P .22S, .22L, .22LR bolt rifle for a too nice price to pass up.    I absolutely love the action on this, kind of reminds me of the loading mechanisms you'd see old naval guns.  Of course I had to post a picture of these old peep sights, the standard aperture is the .050 target disc, and the elevation adjustment screw also doubles as a .080 hunting disc.

Yeah, I was looking into those, but the 341P cost less than the tech sights. That said I think those will still be in my future.

All this talk of Remington 22s makes me want to show my latest purchase.  It's a Remington 513-S. You won't see these to often. It's a sporter version of the 513-T. Most reports are that they're more accurate then the 513-T. Out of nearly 150,000 Model 513 rifles produced from 1940 to 1959, only 13,000 were 513-S. There was also a 513-SP that sported peep sights. All of the rifles come drilled and tapped for them. This one has a Weaver J2.5 in Stith Mounts. The front ramp sight and rear iron sight was removed when the scope was installed. I'm working on locating a good replacement set.    More looks at left and right.   It originally came with a 7/8" Whelen leather sling. The sling mounts are factory. I'm thinking about ordering the 1" Whelen style sling from Midway here. Anyone seen another sling that would fit the bill better? big_dilli fucked around with this message at Oct 26, 2009 around 04:45 |

I'm also pretty new to target shooting beyond "shoot at these old pots and pans till they go ping", so would these new inserts really improve things that much? quote:I've got a 341-p and a 41-p which share the same style peep sights.

The 'lollipop' recticles were the ones for target. The posts were for hunting. I don't know if it will improve your shooting. But what happens if you lose the one you've got? These are very rare pieces that everyone is looking for. Between 2 rifles I have 3 front inserts.

I know quite a few people on here like the run-downs of different rimfire ammo (myself included), and I had an opportunity to try another brand. Armscor Precision .22, 36gr HP I'm seeing this stuff around more often these days, and when I bought a brick of it, I wasn't expecting great things from Philippine-made rimfire. Turns out it's actually quite decent. I was getting good accuracy from the K-22 and Model 41. The primers seemed a little hard (every seventh shot with the K-22 was a no-go) and I had some feeding problems with the hollow-points not playing nice in my bolt-action M44, but I was impressed with its consistency.
