Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

It is. The 457 and the Henry’s are the only factory triggers I think.

And that's only because the Henry falls solidly into the purely fun/novelty realm.

What about the T-Bolt?

And the T-Bolt. I’m not paying for that aftermarket trigger.

Which is kinda funny now that I think about it, given that the next 10/22 costs more than some 10/22s.

Thanks for the input, 1st-friend-of-INGO-that-I-ever-met-and-shot-with!
I had read where some heavier slides were made for a HV (and experienced it) and figured it was good/better for all guns: my mistake.
I will concentrate on acquiring more SV instead of HV, not just for the Smith 41, but I will test out the others and see if they will run on SV as well.

I cannot fathom 100 yard squirrel acquisitions:
I have a feeling that the little secret for old men with weakened eyes is not the gun, but the optics.
I also believe, that I could get interested in one .22LR rifle if I wanted to invest is the right scope (makes me think I should have perhaps kept my lever-action Henry). My accuracy pursuit would have it's needs met.
I had hoped that the Ruger Charger I bought off a member with a red dot would fulfill that desire for accuracy, but, we will see: it will be my retirement pursuit, to see if I can behave myself.

Keep us posted. The Charger will be my next gun buy most likely. I want to put a brace on it with that Copper Custom adapter.

I think that would be awesome. I'd like to hear about it if you ever get one and customize it that way.

For those that didn’t go or just didn’t see it, Keystone had a new Charger like concept at NRAAM. It is one I will be watching for and given the ability to use the Sig collapsing brace, I have more interest in it over a Charger. It would also make a sweet SBR.

That Warthog looks like a fun toy.

Right? It was the first time one these types of pistols has actually sparked an interest for me. The prototype was steel and super heavy, but an aluminum one should be a blast.

My first 17hmr
Steyr rfr scout I got on clearance. Issc made. Seems nice enough for what I paid. Putting a cheap red dot on it and it should make a fun plinker

 

[Areoflyer09]

Ggreen - What is your opinion on the stock for the Steyr?

Run of the mill sturdy lightweight polymer. Downside is that the rail is plastic. The action is awesome I can't quit messing with it. The receiver is aluminum, some of the bad reviews I read said they were plastic... Reinforcing my general skepticism of online reviews.

 

[Areoflyer09]

Mine took a bit of force to break loose the first time. The Lites are popular suppressor hosts.

 

[Areoflyer09]

Which generation of 22/45 do you have?

 

[Areoflyer09]

I’d order a hammer bushing from TandemKross and ditch the magazine disconnect. That should remove some of obstructions with seating the magazines.

That said, I’ve got a MkIII Target frame that is just finicky with magazines. For the mags to seat reliably on that frame I have to have the bolt open.

You know I will.
I'm just concentrating on trimming the other .22s now, and actually need to trim a couple of 9mms again.
I sold a couple .22s and 9mms, but bought 3 more 9mms recently, just for pleasure (never met a CZ I didn't like).

Last night I sold the Ruger Mark 4 Target I bought off a member here to someone who had previously bought off me.
He is waiting for me to sell the CZ SP-01 or the P-07 since he wants either or both, but I'm not done playing with them yet.

Looks like I won't have to wait to use a red dot until I get the Charger out this summer.
I am buying a SW Victory from a person I've dealt with before.
I didn't even realized it until I went to put in his number in my cell, only to find he was already there with a .38 special 4" barrel (don't even remember whether I bought one from him or sold him one of mine).
The "new" Victory is set up for NSSF Steel Challenge:
- SightMark 3 MOA red dot,
- Tandemkross mag disconnect
- flat trigger
- Talon grips
- 5 Mags.
I will take it to the range soon to see how the red dot treats me.

Ironically, I already have a Victory but this "new" one comes with upgrades and accessories.
I wanted it to replace the one I own now since the lure of a red dot (and the rail in needs) called to me.
Such is the fun I can still have by buying something I already own just b/c it has some accessories/upgrades.

 

[Areoflyer09]

I'll definitely do that, thanks! In the mean time I'll try the bolt trick. I got a pretty good deal on it and it's just gonna be a plinking toy. Not too worried about it if it has issues.

If you are willing to spend the money, do the Volquartsen accurazing kit. It will transform it.

My MKIII 22/45 lower just made it back from Turbo with goodies installed! Also, installed the VQ extractor and Hogue wraparound grips. Last order of business on this one is deciding whether I want to go red-dot, or just upgrade the irons to Williams F/O sights.

Also pictured, CZ P-01 with new-to-me Cool Hands grips.

Do you recommend the full kit? And I'm having trouble finding the one for the 22/45 lite that I have. Do you have a P/N or link?

On 22/45 this one is what I’d go with. The polymer frame benefits from the better disconnector in this kit. You won’t use all of the parts as it is made for both the standard frame and 22/45 frame.

I'll vouch for the VQ kit. Brought the 22/45 I just got back from Turbo to the range today and put an easy 300 rounds through it.

Trigger is a joy, and the mag disconnect delete makes inserting and removing the magazine absolute butter compared to before.

Also lost self control and bought a Marlin Model 60 in stainless and laminate. For $130 with a cheap Simmons 4x, didn't think I could really lose.

Shooting the Model 60 and the 10/22 back to back was interesting. I like the way the Marlin handles a lot more than the Ruger (still can't see myself getting rid of the Ruger), but I'm not a fan of the optic on the rifle. The rear sight is a bit buggered, which gives a good excuse to upgrade.

The 10/22 is doing quite a bit better after the extractor upgrade. Only 3-4 FTE over about 150 rounds.

Got to shoot some of Turbo's .22's today and they were very, very sweet!

Thanks! I have as much fun building and letting others enjoy these as I enjoy shooting them myself.
