I'm thinking something is wrong with the seal around the chamber or the bolt, or is this just kinda something that single shot .22s can do. Visually, there are not sparks or anything flying back, just a puff of scalding air, and perhaps mini shrapnel too.

The gun was cleaned and oiled when I started, and I only shot about 25 rounds today... so not really enough to make it that dirty. This is kind of what I'm thinking, but I guess I have no idea how bad/dangerous that is for a .22. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ 1st_Panzer_Div. fucked around with this message at Jul 25, 2010 around 16:57 |

My dad passed down his '63 Ruger 10/22 - it hadn't been shot since '93 or '94? It was not accurate at all and bullets were not just keyholing, they were making some really strange holes in paper. I took it home and rigged up a bore light for .22 - it looked like the Rocky Mountains. I soaked it in CLP on a few different occasions, but ended up having to put the barrel in a vice and hammer a brass cleaning rod through. I should have weighed the lead gunk that came out of it. Now I make sure it gets cleaned regularly.

I'm dumb and only cleaned my WASR with a quick shot of gun cleaner the last time I fired it. For several months I've been shooting PB blaster into the barrel, toward the back of the piston, through the gas vents, and I even poured some Marvel Mystery Oil down there because I figured it can't hurt, might help. I broke my rubber mallet on the cocking lever and have been pounding it with a piece of wood in the hope that I'll break it free. Any ideas?

Can anyone recommend a decent clay pigeon thrower for around $100? Just something simple to throw one or two for messing around on my parents property.

I'm pretty happy with the one I purchased from Do-All Outdoors. It's nothing terribly fancy, but it throws clays consistently. The tripod-base model pins to the ground and is pretty stable, but I'd recommend the one that mounts to a 4x4 post if you don't anticipate moving it.

I like the price too. I may go for the tripod so I can transport it between my parents place and my friends place.

What is this mechanical poo poo? You need the slingshot manual kind, so you can inadvertently shoot half directly at the ground like god intended.

I am partial to This kind (also available @ cabelas, Sports Authority and probably academy) for just screwing around. They take a little practice to get the clays to do what you want to do, but once you get it down you can sling a clay as far as the cheap mechanical ones, and also make them do different things. Does make it harder to throw for yourself, though.

I had some trouble with the first thrower linked, depending on the soil condition it can just pull its spikes out of the ground after a throw. Mounting it on a spare tire would probably help a lot though. Either that or come prepared with some good weights to put on the legs, randomly scavenged rocks didn't work too good

I never liked any of the ones that you stick in the ground. It seems like after a few throws they break loose from their stakes and flop around on the ground. That and they don't seem to throw very fast. I could always get more velocity and more variety with a hand thrower. I guess you're kind of stuck if you have to throw for yourself. Anyone ever try the trailer hitch mounted kind? They look a little more heavy duty. priznat posted:I had some trouble with the first thrower linked, depending on the soil condition it can just pull its spikes out of the ground after a throw.

That and they don't seem to throw very fast. My family used to have one that had four legs and a plastic chair, or you could remove the chair and rear legs and mount the middle beam in a trailor hitch. It was stable, but didn't throw them any better than one of the ones you stick in the ground. It had the exact same mechanism on the end. I STRONGLY recommend that if you buy the one I linked earlier, that you mount it to an old tire. You should be able to get one from a junkyard for a few dollars, and it helps a lot. http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_6039413_a...rower-tire.html

I will probably weld up a mount so I can mount it to a 4wheeler. Either a hitch mount or a clamp system for the rack.

Just be aware that the list is not 100% up to date, one FFL listed for my area that had super cheap transfers isn't around anymore. The person with their phone number these days has no clue when you call them.

Sten Freak posted:They're pricey and spare parts are almost nonexistent. But FA sears are "only" ~$3K, which is one reason they're expensive. There are more FNC auto sears in the US than there are FNC's. FNH also refuses to support the existing FNC's that are here, so they're quicky becoming worn out and in some cases unsafe. The ATF has also ruled that you can't use a registered FNC auto sear to convert a SCAR or Sig556 to full auto, so all those registered auto sears will just go to waste.

I know he needs some more mags for the .22 kit, but the only one I've found was $58 (for a 10-round .22 mag) which is ridiculous. Top Gun Supply has them for $32 each which seems expensive but is basically half of what your place charges.

I was reading about a guy trying to build US-made FNC's, and apparently there's almost no communication between FNH and FN-USA. When trying to get schematics and tech specs for the FNC, FNH told him to consult FN-USA since he was in America. FN-USA told him "we've never built the FNC so we don't have anything. Consult FNH."

I already got him the ear protection but this is the perfect thing to pass off onto my sister who still hasn't gotten him anything and wouldn't care about +/- $6-7. Now I just need to get the conversion to feed reliably for him...

ATF's position on conversion devices seems to follow a couple of loose rules: You cannot change from one gun "family" to another, and modification of the receiver is a no-no. This is where it gets tricky because a lot of conv devices require receiver mods to work, as does the FNC's lower. A couple years ago the ATF issued this: "ATF has reconsidered its classification of the lower assembly of the FNC rifle as the receiver. The upper assembly of the FNC rifle is more properly classified as the receiver. The upper assembly of the FNC rifle houses the bolt and provides a connection point for the barrel. Moreover, the upper assembly is classified as the receiver on similar types of firearms, to include other FN rifles, such as the FN FAL and FN SCAR. Reclassification of the upper assembly as the receiver will also allow the continued installation of a lawfully registered sear into an FNC rifle because no modification to the receiver, which is the upper assembly, is required to properly install the sear." Most people think they did this to legitimize the FNC auto sear installation. Who knows really. I think the most likely way those extra FNC sears get hosts is if someone imported US parts compliant FNCs, if it possible which I have no idea.
