Current 1911 conversions Ceiner (http://www.22lrconversions.com/1911-pg.htm) - $199-249, widebody mags available, customer service = gently caress you sideways. Buy from Brownells for *their* warranty service, not Ceiner's. (Older Kimber and Wilson conversions were Ceiner; Iver Johnson's current ones appear to be, and may also be available as a dedicated .22 1911.) Kimber (http://www.kimberamerica.com/shop/section.php?xSec=19) $330, see Ceiner regarding older conversions. Also make a dedicated .22 1911. Advantage Arms (http://www.advantagearms.com/1911conversion_kit.html) - $275-349, widebody mags available (not listed on website, however), Target Model is decently accurate. Last-shot hold-open. Tactical Solutions (http://www.tacticalsol.com/store/pc...p?idCategory=29)- $400+, widebody mags available. I've heard it's pretty accurate, but no real info. Last-shot hold-open. Marvel (http://www.marvelprecision.com/) - $325-429, widebody mags available, accurate as hell (Unit 1). STI (http://www.stiguns.com/) has one listed ($385), but it's apparently the AA kit, in single- and double-stack. Wilson Combat (http://www.wilsoncombat.com/a_22_conversion.asp) has someone else's kit ($320), but I don't recall who actually makes it. Older conversions Colt - Made both kits and dedicated .22 1911s. The original Ace was a floating-chamber design, which tended to lead up and stop floating, but did feel a lot more like a .45. The Ace II was a later attempt, which didn't work nearly as well, and was discontinued fairly quickly. I *believe* they all had last-shot hold-open, but I'm not certain. You'll pay Colt prices - $$$. Peters Stahl - European import, more target than plinker, and $$. EAA - European import, and that's about all I know. Jarvis - Design was sold to TacSol. Uses Colt Ace mags, last-shot hold-open. Note: most of these do not hold open on an empty mag! Aluminum slides tend to get chewed pretty quickly by the slide stop - Colt used steel slides, and AA has a steel insert for the slide-stop. Magazines - I believe max capacity (Ceiner) is 15, and that's a singlestack. Some mags will work with other conversions - Marvel uses Colt Ace mags, with the follower modified for no hold-open. Ceiner/Kimber/AA mags are plastic, while Colt/TacSol are metal. Lots of info here: http://forum.m1911.org/forumdisplay...29d76dd2ff&f=47 A popular non-conversion that does allow *some* similarity to a 1911 is the Ruger 22/45, which gives you the same grip-frame and mag release. Trigger, et cetera, is still a Ruger .22, so your mileage may vary. Ygolonac fucked around with this message at Feb 26, 2009 around 11:08 |

Most of the "complaints" about the Heritage .22s are "it's not a Ruger Single Six".  If UPS wasn't such a bunch of slugs, my new .22 rifle would be pimped here already.  Maybe tomorrow.

The BSA has landed. The cable for the camera, however, has taken flight; I hope I didn't leave it at the convention, back in mid-February. In any event, I'll cheat and use the pictures from the auction for now.     It's a BSA International Mk II, a single-shot Martini-action target rifle. The lever coming down the front of the grip moves forward, dropping the shiny-shiny block, and, if a round/brass is in the chamber, the spring-loaded extractor will apparently zip it along that curve 8+ feet. (Guess I better take the rightmost lane.) Big round takedown screw on the right will all the entire action to drop out, allowing a cleaning rod to ride all the way back through that hole drilled in the back of the receiver and along that groove cut in the stock, as seen in picture #2. <koff> Boresnake. <koff> You can also see the minor crack just at the top of the grip, with a matching one on the right side. These *may* have been repaired - injected Krazy-Glue? - but I can't quite tell. The wood is dented and banged a bit, but otherwise nice, once I get the last of the paper inventory/ID stickers and residue removed. One of those and a bunch of neat markings can be seen in image #3. There are mounting blocks for a scope on the barrel, but they're a bit too long for what I have - what size rings do I need for the scope bells? All that slime on the sides of the receiver isn't rust, but grease. There's some minor surface rust here and there, but that'll fix easily. Bore is *beautiful*, trigger seems to be set in the sub-1-pound range already (goes down to 6 oz via the internal adjustment screws), and is 14 pounds of "dammit I need a 24-hour range" fun. It is missing the actual inserts for the front sight - not sure what the one in there is supposed to be, but it's not going to be useful for shooting. Brownell's has a set of 10, I'm gonna call around and see if I can find 'em locally tomorrow morning. Prime 1950's smallbore match rifle technology, what?

Ghaaa, I'm still trying to get everything coordinated for taking the BSA out. Did get actual proper targets, yellow-box Eley and CCI Select (looking for Green Tag still), front sight inserts (Brownell's) and a sling... even found the camera tripod for the spotting scope, and my old leather jacket will work for a sausage casing. If only I could *get out to the drat range*. May end up playing on BLM land, in which case I''ve gotta find a tarp or something due to snow/mud. <whimper>

*Finally* succeeded in getting the BSA to a (non-flame-englulfed nor windstormed) range, and... ... it shoots wonderfully. I, on the other hand, suck horribly. 50-foot, prone, A-17 target: 79 (out of 100). (First time seriously target shooting since like 1986 or so.) 2 9s, 1 ea 7 & 6, the rest 8s. 50-foot, sitting (cross-legged), A-17: 31.  2 7s, 2 6s, 1 5. (I did shoot twice at one bull, but they both were outside the 5-ring, so it didn't really matter.)50-foot, standing, A-17: 33  1 9, 1 7, 2 6s and 1 5. (I did lose one off the right edge of the paper, however. GOD DAMMIT.)There may be some skewing due to ammo changing - sighting-in and the prone I used yellow-box Eley, sitting was CCI Select, and standing was CCI Green tag. There certainly was skewing due to forgetting to take painkillers for for back; sitting all hunched over did *not* help. (I skipped trying to do spread-legged sitting because the pain was getting bad. Didn't even *try* kneeling, especially with no kneeling roll.) Off the rest I used for sighting, it happily makes small, ragged holes. With a good bag setup, front and rear, I'd expect one hole near a quarter-inch, at least at 50 feet. For now, my spine is hosed and I gotta lie down. I can always embarrass myself later with target-scans if there's any call for 'em...

Eastern Washington-area goons - .22 is all over, if you get your rear end out of Spokane. Bi-Mart and Double Eagle Pawn (Deer Park) have good stocks, Black Sheep Sporting Goods (Cour d'Alene) has a shitload, and even Cabela's (Stateline) is stocked. Purchased for my own use a couple of days ago: Remington Target (green box) - 200 rounds Aguila Sniper Subsonic - 200 rounds Aguila Super Colibri - 100 rounds (Plus some .17HMR and .45) I did pass up the brick of Eley Sport, as it didn't appear to be target-grade. I also passed up the higher-end Eley target ammo (for now), since I suck horribly at this time and I don't think the $12/50 rounds will be the best way to improve my scores. Everyone seemed to have stocks of centerfire as well, with Cabela's being the most depleted. $18/50 .45 Blazer Brass isn't awesome, but Black Sheep had cases, while WalMart was telling me that 1 *box* was coming in at a time. I'm going to try for that Navy Arms Yellowboy, by the way. If I don't win, I may go with my (long-planned) Advantage Arms kit for the 1911, or else something about twice the caliber and non-rimfire... we shall see.

Played with various .22 last night, in both my NSA and my FIE Texas Ranger (Rough Rider, from the pre-Heritage incarnation of the company). The Super Colibris were fun, although they did exhibit a lot of drop out of the BSA. (Well, 29" barrel, so ) Out of the sixgun, it sounded about as loud as bubblewrap popping. From what I did with the rifle, I'm probably going to stick with the yellowbox Eley for actual serious marksmanship. Although I'll probably pick up at least one box of each of the spendier Eley match-grade stuff to try out as well. Oh, and I still suck horribly. Gotta practice more...

lovely pictures of my Texas Ranger:  The unfluted cylinder is .22 Mag, and in my opinion looks better than the original blued one. (Well, blued-like finish on the alloy frame.) The Mag cylinder is not from the original gun, but it was picked up off Gunbroker - it's from a QFI Western Ranger, which, as best I can determine, is another rename of FIE, back in the '80s or so. (Eventually, they started making them entirely stateside, as Heritage.) I've heard from other owners that the Heritage parts drop right in, in case you can pick up one of these cheap. ($100 or less, I'd say.) The little tab that's barely visible on the left side of the frame, where the loading gate is on the right side, is the flip-down hammer-block safety. Mine is getting a bit loose, and wants to drop to "loud" via gravity. Might see if I can tighten it up, or maybe just load to five. Two screws, but four distinct clicks. Size comparison (aka "shittier lighting, and now there's *three* import clones"):  Top is the .22 (duh), middle is my RIA doublestack 1911A2 .45 (full-size, 5" barrel) and bottom is the Llama MiniMax Subcompact .45 (3" barrel). Maybe I'll get energetic tomorrow and drag the BSA outside for better pics.

 75% rimfire, and 50% .22 - the previously-seen Texas Ranger, the previously-seen BSA, and Savage 93r17 .17HMR (now sighted in yay) and the dreaded RIA doublestack .45. The BSA outweighs all three of the others loaded/combined. (I suspect the RIA fully loaded outweighs the Savage.) http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduc...ctNumber=123558 is a fun toy for .22, although the Super Colibri didn't do much to move 'em at 100 feet. However, they're not recommended for .17HMR.   Oh, and the .22 Mag cylinder ran OK with .22 LR, but the cases were all bulgy and one split near the mouth, so it's not going to be repeated.

My BSA International Mk II is a monster, at 14 pounds, 44 inches OAL and a 29-inch barrel. Trigger can be adjusted down to 1/2 pound, if I recall correctly. According to the company ads, using match ammo from a machine rest, the rifle "must achieve three consecutive ten-shot groups cutting a 1" circle at 100 yards." God knows I'm no machine rest, but it does put 'em where I aim... now to work on the aiming part.

28_days posted:A shorter barrel will inherently be more accurate due to less/no flex, Not as I understand it. A short barrel may have less flex, but a longer barrel (especially a bull barrel) allows a longer sighting radius, more power due to containing the propelling explosion longer (and thus giving the projectile enough oomph to make it waaaay out there without being deflected as easily by any breeze) and (badly phrasing here) keeping said projectile under control for a longer time. If shorter = more accurate, everyone would be running snubbies, subcompacts and 16" carbines. (There's a break-point where "too long" comes in, but that's beyond my knowledge at this time.) Varmint rifles run shorter, heavier barrels as a balance between cost/weight/handling and accuracy, as well as to be less affected by heat build-up. Harmonics of the longer barrel might be an issue, but that's more stuff I don't know about. As for the CZ452, it's probably a tossup. The Silhouette is made for, as it says, competition shooting, but has to conform to the rules - 4.6 kilos, 30" max barrel length (original factory sporting barrel, if shooting "light rifle")(from the 2005 IMSSA rulebook). I should think they'd both have roughly the same accuracy overall, otherwise, for general use. The Silhouette will allow you to play, if you ever want to try, so I'd give that a little weight.

I plan to take it out to the range tomorrow while I'm in New Mexico and then fly home with it Sunday. What kind of accuracy/performance should I expect from this baby? The ads for my BSA International Mk II (circa mid-50s or so) state that it didn't go out the door until it did three consecutive 1-inch ten-round groups (machine rest, match ammo) at 100 yards. Your mileage may vary. However, this seems promising...  Is it the Savage-Anschutz, or the Anschutz-Savage? From what I remember, the S-A is the US-made one of that partnership, and I vaguely recall that the Kraut guns are more desiable - this may be from Gunbroker blurbs, however.

More .22 ammo woes - Remington "Target", in a green and blue box. AVOID. Out of the three 50-round boxes I shot off on Sunday, each box gave me two duds, only one of which fired on a second attempt. Also, noise/recoil ran the gamut of "quiet/soft" (about the same as Aquila Sniper SubSonic) all the way to louder/snappier than the Federal or CCI Blazer bulk I was also shooting. Tended more towards the high-velocity feel, but since it was supposed to be standard (and one would assume more consistent in quality given the "Target" name), I was unhappy. Fun fact: other than some random lost-round pickups out of the dirt, those have been the only duds I've had since I came back to shooting .22. Also, the Aquila Super Colibri, at... well, more than 50 yards, anyway, not exactly sure how far it was... out of the BSA penetrated some cheapo wood furnishing about a quarter-inch, at best. It'd likely not be lethal at that range, so conduct all your assassinations at point-blank.

Awesome news, if it flies: Black Dog Machine is interested in making parts for WASR-22s... and, if possible, *entire guns*. (Posted by BDM in WASR-22 threads at Rimfire Central.)

The Fed bulk pack worked *very* nicely out of my BSA last time; I liked it more than the CCI bulk, for no apparent reason - might've been a smidge more accurate, but nothing I could quantify. Still livelier than any of the match/target I've tried (except that awful Remington poo poo), but affordable plinkin' stuff. The plan is to go out Sunday again, and if the weather is decent (IE, not raining and gusting like the last time) I'll try for accuracy and see.

Ceiners are pretty much plinker-class, as are most cheaper conversions. The $400 Marvel Unit 1 is generally seen as the most accurate. However, if you're not looking for bullseye-match performance, it should do OK. And by buying it from Midway, you can avoid the famed Ceiner "customer service". (Your rear end in a top hat will thank you for it!) As for hold-open, I know the Advantage Arms units do have that. I forget if the Kimbers do, or the old Colt conversions.

Not so much a side-saddle, but a loading block can be attached to the rifle for competition use. (Of course, now I can't find the BSA-specific stuff I've seen before. Can't remember how it was mounted - I want to say using the big takedown screw, which is BSA/Martini-action-specific.) Hmm. I'm not sure this would work as well with a bolt-action, through - the bolt itself would pretty much be where the loading block would live...

However, the Quickloader keeps only ten rounds available and they are very tightly spaced."

bo_chrud posted:I was looking at getting a .22 LR Revolver for general plinking and was wondering if you guys could give me some insight into which brands/models to buy and which not to buy. I was going through gunbroker and noticed the Ruger Single Six was pretty popular, but I saw a large number of cheaper ones from Heritage Arms and was wondering if this is a "get what you pay for scenario." I would, at maximum, consider spending $300. After a brand, I was wondering what a good size of barrel is for general use. The Heritage is OK, but definitely budget. I have an FIE Texas Ranger, which is the same thing, from back before the company was Heritage/manufacturing the whole thing stateside. The feel between the Single Six and the Texas Ranger is quite obviously tipped towards the Ruger, simply on quality. The Heritage/FIE/whatever is a decent deal at $100-150ish, but it's mainly a plinker that you won't worry much about. (As opposed to a drop gun like an RG/Rohm - those feel cheap, and I distrust them.) There's a number of older import SAA clones, the quality of which I know not. Most of the .22 single-actions are actually smaller than a centerfire Colt SAA, and the Bearcat is even smaller than that. One company (I want to say Great Western, but I may be wrong) actually made a full-sized SAA in .22, but those are not common and not cheap. I'm not certain of the size of the Cimmaron Plinkerton, but those are running in the $150 range, last I looked. Barrel length varies, from.. 3-3.5" or so, I think all the way up to 12. The Ruger and FIE that I have are both 6.5", giving a bit more velocity and sight radius, but at the cost of quicker handling. 4.5-5.5" would be the classic "cowboy" length, and (as best I can tell) balance better. Heritage also offers "birds'-head" grips, which are supposed to be more comfortable and concealable, I guess - I know they're usually seen on the shorter-barreled guns. I'd say at least handle both a Single Six and a Heritage, if you can. See which one feels better and/or more comfortable. This also applies to different barrel lengths - if there's a variety to check out, do so, especially if you can test-fire (rent or borrow). Welp, that should be enough wall o' text for the time being. Hope this helps!

.22 short will run fine in any .22, as long as you don't end up with a squib. Going the other way (.22 LR in a firearm marked for .22 Short only), that's a Bad Thing. (I've seen a number of old pump rifles (on Gunbroker) that were short-only.) It is unlikely that it'll cycle any semiauto, and as for feeding from a mag...

It has a rotating bar that blocks the hammer from reaching the firing pin. Unfortunately, the detent that holds it in can get fouled, leading to a safety that either slips off when dry firing (bad), or pops out when firing and gets lost. Washington State is kind of a big area.  Wait 'til that lovely safety breaks from dryfiring it. Annoying to remove, and leaves odd-looking holes.

You might want to try some Aquila Sniper Sub Sonic - it's a much heavier bullet, and may dislike your rifling rate, but the BSA didn't seem fazed.

I was seeing a drop of a few inches at 50 feet, so yeah... that does explain why I waqs missing my longer shots, though, as I wasn't holding over anywhere *near* a foot. I may still have some, but I think I'll save 'em for the sixguns.

No, it should go to Eastern Washington, where the old fart who first started shooting with single-shot target rifles is - the one who is actually more comfortable single-loading, and only used the mag on his .17HMR *once*. Besides, it's probably a nice lightweight rifle. Compared to the 14 pounds of British Steel Accuracy.

Y'all skipped that spoilered text, didn't you? I pick up AKs and marvel at how airy they feel...

Don't forget the massively awesome Martini-Henry action match rifle - you too can do 1-inch groups at 100 yards if you're a full-body cyborg conversion with "machine rest" mode. Plus a Lee-Enfield conversion, and a .22 kit for your FAL, and a Gatling, and a miniature Browning belt-feg MG, and the beehive round for your 40mm launcher, and...

Secret Ooze posted:Ive decided to purchase a .22(finally), and would like a rifle in semi-auto. Ive been seriously considering purchasing a GSG-5 to fill that role. I've heard varying experiences, but one thing really overbalances against that now: they're no longer going to be made. ATI vs. HK was decided for the Hun, and what stocks of GSG-5s are out there are all there'll be. Good luck on parts... this also jacks up the pricing as well.
