Re: Favorite Rimfires?
I admit I am a big fan of the 10/22. A standard model was the last gun my Dad got me before he died. My Dad had a Colt single-action in .22 that we loved to shoot. IIRC, it seemed like it was full size or near to it - but it may have just been due to me being younger. The gun was stolen 40+ years ag...

Re: Fluorescents out but LED glare annoying…
I'm a fan of the LED lights too. Have slowly replaced all the T40 fluorescents in the basement and garage - even hung one in the attic! They just throw so much light. My night vision used to be excellent, but after my cataract surgeries, my night vision now sucks. :evil: I find that I need a lot of ...

Re: A mate for my Rolling Block target pistol
Very cool! 8) Did you check the thread pitch? There are some odd ones out there for older guns. The threads for the silencer are 1/2-20, which happens to be the same as most modern air rifles use for their "moderators". I think most modern suppressors are 1/2-28 size. Started doing the ch...

Re: Taylors and Co. New '73
Not my cup of tea for that price but remember, the 9mm is now the cheapest centerfire round available. That could mean a lot of shooting, especially if one does not reload. And as a companion to a 9mm pistol? Wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

Re: Browning Buck Mark FTF
That makes me hesitate to get a buckmark. I think these are good, accurate .22 pistols. Prices have gone up a bit faster than other guns maybe, but that's probably more of being a Browning than other brands (Browning is very proud of their stuff - usually with good reason). This is a minor part and...

I had an auction on in the background today while working. Was following my dream gun, a Merwin, Hulbert & Co .44-40 with the "skull-crusher" lanyard loop. One came up that was 95% original condition. Looked darn near flawless. Went for $4750. Well above my budget, but some day!
